LUCAS COUNTY BUYS
NEW ROAD MACHINERY.

Chariton--Lucas county has pucf1as-
ed two machines to make cement cul-
verts. This will greatly lessen the
county bridge bill, as cement is much
cheaper than lumber and lasts many
times as long. The machines are of
different sizes, one to make culVerts
three feet in diameter inside, and the
other four feet. They are each ten feet
long and in appearance resemble a
boiler They are to be set in the ditch
prepared for the culvert, and the ce-
ment filed in, after which the cement
is allowed to set and the machine IS
removed from around it and moved
along to make another section of the
culvert Extensions can also be put
inside the machines to make any Gull
vert any width inside, which will pro-
vide for any quantity of drainage de-
sired.
