giving 1t crown or elevation In the

little steep make the crown 10 inches.
With crown Of about / inch to the

bitches which are often built across
the road on steep grades to defect
the water will not be needed. Instead
OF carrying water across the road In
open bitches, tile or concrete drains
should, if possible, be provided. They
should have sufficient capacity and
fall to carry the maximum amount OF
wafer that Is expected to flow through
them at any one time The capacity
Is increased in proportion to the fall
or grade; for instance, 12-incn pipe
lald on one per cent grade will carry
l,soO gallons per minute, while the
same pipe laid on per cent grade
Will carry $500 gallons per minute
Furthermore. culvert laid fiat will

In the maintenance of an earth ROAD,
avoid the mistake Of Changing the ma
tural order Of things. Naturally the.
soil Is found on top and the ciSy on
the bottom II this order is reversed
in constrnctiog road, cne result will
be less satisfactory than if the soil be
left at the top Of the road, for soil
makes 1ctter surface to a rGad than
clay. If the road bed is large', clay to
start with, 1t will be we'll TO place
sandy soil or clean sand OH top. Al
covering of 6 to 10 inches of sand up
on clay tiat persists in breaking up
into deep mudholes will usually be
satisfactory, and il sand enough be
added, this clay will cease to make
mud. If the roadbed is composed of
sand it can be improved by on appli-
cation Of clay.
The rule for serviceable earth
road, then, is as follows. Makes
bitches on each side and keep them
open; haul sand and gravel upon Sec

The Maintenance Of Earth Roads

The y. S, office of public roads will
supply this paper with practical ar
tlcies on various features Of road build
ing and maintenance, which will be
published from time to time Subscrf
Ders are urged to give this matter
careful consideration, and ars reuues
ted to forward to this Office for trans
mission to the Office of public roads
any practical question which they de-
sire answered relating to road const
ructlon and maintenance. Questions
and answers will be published by this
paper at suitable intervals.
We may recognize the value of hard
and durable roads in all parts Of the
country but still the fact remains that
for long time to come the majority
or the roads will be composed OF
earth. Furthermore, in about nine
months out of the year, the earth road,
II properly cared for, is reasonably
satisfactory. For many agricultural
districts, it is the only road at present
available. Hence, these communities
should set themselves seriously to
work to learn the best methods of
maintaining earth roads and of get.
ting maximum service from them.
Prosperity comes to the country to a
great extent through the prosperity of
the farmers. This fact strongly sug-
gests the Importance of giving the
earth road every possible care and at
tention in its location, drainage con
struction and maintenance.
An earth road composed OF water
holding soil should be exposed to the
sun and air as freely as possible, as
comparison between the shaded and
sunny portions of such road will
easily Indicate This should be ac-
complished by clearing a sufficient
amount Of trees and underground
away from the road. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that sandy and
gravelly roads require moisture, and
in these cases some shade should be
be retained. Furthermore, trees are
beneficial along river banks and on
steep grades subject to washing.
Drainage is one Of the most import
ant points to consider in connection
with an earth road. The majority of
earth roads in all mountainous ana
hilly districts have too much drain
age. Occasionally a road will be
found with five ditcnes, three in the
middle by the horses hoofs and by
wheels of the vehicles, and two on the
sides. All well-constructed earth
roads are supposed to have no more

Field Open.
There is a large field of operation
for state highway commission in
investigating and finding out what are
the best methods to be used under
certain conditions and, having found
them out, making them known to
everybody. Let it be known that
every commissioner can, for the
trouble of asking, get advice on all
matters of road and bridge building,
that in fact the highway commission
is bureau of practical road informa-
tion based on the best and most up
to date methods. Wat is needed for
the present is to get better results
without increased taxation, and it is
on this one principle alone that the
work of the state highway commits
sion is based.

JOHNSON TELLS
ABOUT BRIDGES
STATE ENGINEER OF THE ILL
NoIs HIGHWAY COMMISSION e
MAKING STUDY.

Announcements of the work of the
Illinois Highway Commission are be-
ing sent put by A. N. Johnson Of
Springfield, state engineer. The fol-
lowing tells of bridges:
Nearly half the cash tax for roads
and bridges in 1905 was spent for
bridges. In a number of counties 60
per cent of the amount spent for
roads and bridges was for bridges, so
that this feature of highway work is
one of particular Importance in Illi-
nois.e A casual investigation only was
necessary to establish the fact, how
ever, that a majority of the bridges
were about half the requisite strength
and many cost approximately twice
what they should. The reason for
this can be summed up as due to the
lack of skilled supervision. 1t is not
expected that commissioners and SUI
pervisore are engineers, yet they
must expend the taxpayers money
for bridges, about which they know
nothing; nothing about the requisite
strength, nothing about the proper
cost. To correct these conditions, the
Illinois. Highway Commission offers.
free of charge, to the local highway
officials, designs estimates and spec
iffcations for highway bridges of all
kinds, and the demand for this aid in
dicates that it will be one of the most
important phases of the work of the
commission.
Scarcely township in the state
but has very small bridges with plank
floors, and in many cases planks for
the abutments. which are a source of
constant danger to the travelling pub
lie and an endless expense to the tax
payers, 1t is whiting the means of ev-
cry township to replace these small
bridges, that is, bridges with spans to
fifty feet, with concrete structures
Some townships may prefer or be
able to build but one or two of these
bridges a year, but the most econom-
zeal plan would be to construct all at
one time, making systematic survey
Of the township sufficient to decide
what size of bridge should go in at
each place.
1t is the constant endeavor of the
commission to raise the standard of
bridge construction and encourage the
adoption of the most suitable and
economical materials that a given con-
dftion requires. Highway bridges are
TO be found in every community and
the Importance of their proper design
and economic construction has been
too long neglected The construction
of permanent reinforced concrete
bridges will be urged in every in
stance where this form of design can
Z be appropriately used

founded prejudice against the highway
