Gradea 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, stona
or gravel, steep grades should always,
be avoided If possible. They become;
covered at times with coatings OF ice
or slippery soil, making them very diff
cult to ascend with loaded vehicles, an
well as dangerous to deseend. They
allow water to rush down at such q
rate as to wash great gaps alongside
or to carry the ~surfacing material
away. As the grade increases in steep
ness either the load has to be dimtn'
ished In proportion or more horses %
