Keep The Road Drains
unohstructed.

This is the TINA Of the year for
trimming brush, hedges, etc. ..
long the fence lines and Roadside
es. In my trsysls over the state
the fact is very noticeable that
many Of the farmers persist in
throwing these trimmings into
the side bitches of the road or
else where they may be washed
into the bitches. This brush
washes down 10 the culverts and
lodges across or In the opening
to choke the oulvert and thereby
obstruot the free flow Of the
water. forcing il onto or across
the roadbsd. The result is Q
vast amount Of damage to the
Travelled roadway.
No man has a legal nor moral
right to obstruct g road drain.
The law is plain upon this. But
it should not be necessary to pen.
slize anybody for this infringe
ment Of the law. Good roads
should be the desire of ell and
every man should lend his efforts
toward keeping the roads pass
able, at least as far ss not to
throw obstructions in the ditchss.
It is impossible 10 keep q firm
rosdbed without drainage and
the ditohes must be kept open
and unobstruoted 10 order 10 get
the drainage.
I sincerely hope that every man
will give the matter some thought
and consideration. The road
officials cannot make the roads
without the aid and interest OF
the citizenship ofthe state. Ger
tainly not II the citizens persist
in ignoring the main feature OF q
good road-that is, drainage.
II costs money to keep up the
roads and every property holder
is paying his part. 1t requires
some Of that money to repair a
washout or water soaked roadbed
caused by the obstructed drain
and withdraws just that amount
from the general Improvement Of
the road. Do not impede your
local road officials and thereby
your own interests by carelessly
or wilfully obstructing the road
drains. Yours truly,
CURTIS HILL,
State Highway Engineer.
