Grades of Roads.

The grade is the most important fac
tor to be considered in the location OF
roads. The smoother the road surface
the less the grade should be. Whether
the road be constructed Of earth. stone
or gravel, steep grades should always
be avoided If possible. They become
covered at times with coatings OF 'ce
or slippery soil, making them very diff
cult to ascend with loaded vehicles, az
we'll as dangerous to descsnd. They
allow water to rush down at such q
rate as to wash great gaps alongside
or to carry the s%urfacing material
away. AS the grade increases in steep
ness either the load has to be dimin'
lshed In proportion or more horses On
