TOWN IMPROVING TIPS
Suggestions by the Winner Of a
Boosting Contest.
GET A PUBLICITY COMMITTEE.

washington wan ADVISES inc OV9dut-
cation of One at Once-The Power Of
Printers Ink-Novel and Sensational
Schemes Not Favored.
The Washington Post has been car
rying on contest for the best writ
ten plan for boosting the Capital City.
The award was given to Mr.. Louis
Reilly of Washington. and as his ideas
may be made to apply in part to other
cities and towns they are herewith
reproduced in part:
!. Publicity Committee.-Th first
thing to do is to organize publicity
committee. chosen from among such
citizens as the members of the cham
Der Of commerce and the board Of
trade and having for object the pro-
motion of the development OF the city.
.. Ways and Means. As soon as
this committee has Il local habitation.
name and a clerk it should hustle
to take up Il collection. 1t should call
on all bankers. real estate dealers. no.
tel keepers, railroad men. merchants.
). Bureau of Information. The COM
mittee should next proceed to gather
1ata concerning eligible manufacture
Ing sites. shipping facilities. freight
charges. factory help. rate Of taxation.
water and all other matters concern
ing which persons contemplating NOV
ing to this city would like to know.
4. Wanted, a Writer.-An expert
writer should be employed to set forth
the advantages Of Washington. His
style should be clear, vivid. terse. He
should do his best to write up the
city in story cut to the quick.
|. 5. The Folder.-There is no advocate
so powerful as printers ink. 1t is
magnetic and convincing. Its elo-
quence lasts. 1t says just what is
wanted to be said. 1t goes every
where. 1t repeats its argument over
and over again. Night is the same as
day to it, and all seasons are summer.
1t is everastingly ION the job" The
chief agent of the publicity committee
in advertising the city must be fold
er. This pamphlet should be artistic
ally printed on paper of fair quality.
6. Sewing the Seed.-The publicity
committee will take hold of the boom
again and scatter that pamphlet where
it will do the most good. Copies Of it
should be placed in the Union station,
in hotels. on steamboats,, etc. 1t could
be mailed to boards Of trade and to
members of the manufacturers asso-
Citations. 1t could be put on sale at
cost or at a trne above cost and so
be widely distributed, yet not exhaust
the money Of the committee.

it up again. However. as the dragging
is persisted in and the mud is worked
into a clayey-lille mass and becomes
dry it likewise becomes hard. Eventu-
ally the top of the road presents re-
sistant. shell-lke cake of tough mud
as hard as unburnt brick.
After a time it will be noticed that
a road that has been dragged will be-
come dry much sooner than neglected
stretches OF road in the same neigh
borhood. The more attention given to
dragging road the quicker will it dry
out ahead Of it's neighbors. Eventually
after several years of persistent drag
such road will become so hard that
even after a cloudburst of rain pick
will with difficulty be made to pene-
trate the surface for over two inches.
BY the skilled use Of the drag the
road can be made high in the middle.
The average neglected country road is
usually hollow in the middle and after
a rain has small lakes and pools stand
ing over its surface, sometimes for
many days and weeks. But the
dragged road. having such crown.
sheds water into the side cutters.
These facts to the uninitiated or
skeptical may on first impression
seem farfetched or exaggerated, but
they are facts based on the experience
of reputable men from Missouri to
New York state who have been drag
cling the country dirt roads after ev-
cry rain.
The roads today in many sections Of
the United States are no better than
they We're fifty years ago, even with
the labor and money that have been
expended upon them. In some locali-
ties almost the entire amount of the
tax is expended in temporary work,
while nothing is spent for permanent
improvem. it. with the result that con-
dtions remain unchanged. The sooner
we can get Il system of road dragging
inaugurated in every community the
sooner will we have the 90 per cent
of our neglected dirt roads adequately
and permanently improved throughout
the greater part of the year in the
United States. Donald McCaskey

Needless Wear Of Roads by Autos.

\ county surveyor protests against
the habit which many motorists have
of doing the majority of their driving
on the crown or center of the road.
This method of driving means that
one portion of the road takes all the
wear and naturally, of course. gets
worn into ruts and ridges. If the
traffic would spread itself and make
all that portion of the road from gut
ter to the top of the crown take a
share of the wear. road surfaces would
last much longer and would require
less frequent repair In these days
when roads are made almost fiat there
is no excuse for this habit of clinging
to the crown. but where roads are
made with great deal Of Gambler It
is perhaps excusable. as driving on a
continuous slope is the reverse Of
pleasant

Z. Advertising an Advertisement.-A
spot light" al. Of that folder should
be inserted in some of the leading
trade journals. especially in the Or
gans of those industries that could be
profitably carried on in this neighbour
hood. by this means news of the
folder will spread in shops. factories
and mills; thereby business men who
are looking for a new site for their
enterprises will be attracted hither to
prospect the promised land.
s. The Leatlet.- For the sake of econ
Omy and convenience a tract should he
prepared to prevent the wasting OF the
also TO still further advertise it. This
leatlet should have on one side Il sum
mary of the most striking advantage
of Washington as Il commercial center
and on the other Il brief list OF its
charms as place of residence.
The leatet should end with the state
ment that the folder. giving fuller de-
tails. could he had for G., cents at pub
licity headquarters and that the com
mittee would be glad to give any adj
ditional information desired. This
leatlet should be put in all letters writ
ten by Neutrality-suspicious. to outsiders.
o. Excursions and Convcntions.-'rhe
publicity committee will make IA sys-
tematic endravor to bring excursions
and conventions hither from every city
in the whole country.
TO- Celebrations. - The committee
should devise attractions to draw
crowds and To give folk mt n distance
an extra reason for making trip to
Washington. 1t should celebrate the
anniversaries of the most memorable
events in the history of the capital.
hold Semiannual fair, have a home
coming week. etc.
II. A Great Hall.-The publicity
committee will continue to agitate the
question of building here great con-
vention hall.
II. Other Means.-NO pentup Utica
will cOnfine the activities Of the pub
licity committee. The foregoing ways
Of booming the city will be its funda-
mental reliance, but it will at sea-
sonable times utilize other feasible
methods to achieve the same purpose.
Novel and sensational schemes are
not wanted. They are not effective.
They are not business. They do not
produce results. They will not attract
permanent residents nor add to the
number of our commercial enterprises.
But, indeed. there is no need for freak
plans. The city's advantages are too
actual for buncombe or claptrap.
What is required is the most eftica-
cious way to make them known.
The city. the committee and the
folder are Il trio sure to triumph. In
the last analysis the committees the
thing 1t is the living force behind
the wheels of the "boom.' 1t IS the
alpha and the omega of the movement.
On the industry. Intelligence. enthusi-
assn and perseverance of its members
will the success of any plan to adj
vance the progress of the city depend.
If the RIGHT sort of men are chosen
the WuIn viii Ice wei! done.

1t has been said that only 10 per
cent of the roads in the entire United
States are the main Travelled highways.
The other 80 per cent are the common,
everyday country dirt roads. In the
ordinary discussion regarding road i'm
prOvement our thoughts and energies
so frequently lead us to the discussion
Of macadamized roads, brick, stone and
other specially constructed roadbeds
that the vast majority Of our dirt roads
are lost sight Of We talk about neces-
sity for road rollers and road scrapers
rock crushers and various other es-
Sential roadmaking devices, and then
when we figure out the cost Of such
roads at from $1,000 to $4,000 per
mile we oftentimes wonder how many
generations it will take for our dirt
roads to be adequately maintained, ac-
cording to the best systems. Because
Of the utter hopelessness Of getting

souri, man named d. Ward King
built n drag out of a log split In half
some thirteen years ago, and after
every rain, while the mud was soft,
he drove up and Gown the road in front
Of his farm for half a mile, pulling
the drag at an angle Of forty-tive de-
grces. Such marvellous improvement
resulted from the use of this primitive
road engineers has been instigated, and
the matter has now passed beyond the
experimental or gucsswork stage.
The 90 per cent of our dirt roads in
the United States, properly dragged
after rain, can be made almost as
satisfactory during the greater part
of the year as extensively hard sur
faced highways and at ridiculously
small cost per mile. carrying from s.

blity Of merchandising all our 2,OOO,-
900 miles of roads in the United States
In one generation or even in any lin
tied period Of time, and in the light Of
the effective and immediate results
obtained from dragging the highways,
the study of this method can be fol-
lowed with much profit.
