BLOCKADE ON THE

There was a blockade on the vaduct

had been used as the headquarters of
the contractors at the Federal build

cross piece on the big bridge when 1t
was discovered that the building on
wheels was too high TO pass under the
obstruction. Then the wheels were re-
moved and an unsuccessful effort
made 10 squeeze through.
During this time several hundred
farmers. their wives and children form

which were hay wagons, delivery rigs.

WATERWORkS CANNOT BE SOLD

Ono or TWO members of the CITY

There has been an effort made To
prove that any comment on the water,

but what could be more damaging
TO the confidence which is supposed
10 rcpose in the city administration OF
its successors than 10 circulate the
story that the waterworks arc TO be

Gravel and Clay to Resist Action Of
Traffic and Weather Cost From
$3.50 TO $500 Per Mile.
A new method OF road construc-
tiOn which was recently evolved IA
Clark county, Ca, IS called the top
soil method, because It consists Of
building the road out Of the surface
soil from the adjacent fields. In some
respects It is like the sand-clay meth
od, while in others It is similar TO the
gravel road. SO far as the writer is
aware. Clark county, Ga. enjoys the
distinction OF having originated this
method The details were worked out
by Professor G. NJ. Strain Of Georgia
university ana Clark county's com
missioner OF deeds
The success of this method depends
largely upon the soil used. Just any
soil will not do. 1t must have enough
sand or gravel I'm # 10 resist the action
of the traffic and weather and enough
clay TO bind the particles together. 1t
Is well known that, although clay has
high cementing value, 1t Will not
make good roNd If used alone on nc
count Of the fact that when 1t Is wet
it absorbs moisture and softens. 1t
Is also well known that round, water
worn gravel or sand which Is clean
and free from clay will not produce Il
satisfactory road surface because ned
thcr will bind, but IL clay, gravel and
sand are mixed together I'm certain
proportions they have been found TO
produce n surface which will be both
hard and smooth the year round.
If these, materials can be found al.
ready mixed the trouble ana expense
of mixing can be avoided. 1t is com
mon practice throughout the United
States to use bank gravel for road sur
facing which has n little clay in IT..
but Clark county IS the first 1 be
lieve, to skin the top soil from the
adjacent helds and use 1t for this pur-
