Some Points That Are Of Paramount
Importance.
Mr.. Charles L. Wood, civil engineer,
Of Columbus, has prepared for the
Board of Supervisors Of Lowndes
county. Mississippi, notes on the
working of the public roads which
are OF more than local interest. He
regards as Of paramount Importance
the appointment as road commission
er Of competent civil engineer to
be in entire charge of the public road
system of county, including all
bridges, culverts, ferries, canals, etc.
He definss tho duties of the road COM
missioner, advocates letting of work
for road building and Improvement by
specific contracts after advertising for
bids, and says;
The width of roadbed will vary
with the amount of traffic. For sim
gle track road 1t should not be less
than 12 feet, for double-track road
not less than 81 feet, including foot
paths inside the ditch lines. The
rise or crown of the road should be
about one foot. The grade should be
kcHt under per cont. or rise of 8
fee" in 100 feet.
Work of construction should be
done during the spring, summer and
early fail months, and all new road
bed left in compact condition for the
winter traffic. The winters work
should be limited to repairing.

"A traction engine pulling Il train
of four to eight wagons can deliver
materials much more economically

usually employed. The wagons can
be moved separately. if necessary,

Even in our cities the highways are
not built to endure. They are with
out solidity of foundation or of salts
factory surfacing and in constant need
of repair. In the country there is a
mere slapdash pretence. The roads
are cleared, ploughed, cultivated and
fenced in very much after the manner
of the fields they traverse. After 4
century Of this go-as-you-please indif-
ference the people are at last waking
up to the economic waste involved ia
getting about over bad roads.
