efforts and let each passing
breath Of air, speeding automo-
bile, or drenching rain blow or
wash the road surface away.
In the countries of Europe,
where the well-nigh perfect roads
are the pride of the citizens aud
the envy and admiration of Wis
iting Americans, most jealous
care is constantly given ; care
full day-by day inspection is
made and every depression is
quickly filed and all inequali-
ties rolled or tamped.
Two requisites, therefore, con-
front the county supervisors at
the outset--irst to ascertain
what roads would be most suit.
able to that particular secti n,
and to provide for funds to ex-
pend in their maintenance alter
completion.
Those are vastly important
and the nations very small per-
centage of improved roads is due
largely to a failure to give con-
sideration to them. Millions of
money have been wasted in
building roads which local con-
ditions made impracticable and
out of all cost proportionate to
the county's revenue.
There are exceptions to all
rules, however, and Pike county,
Alabama, stands as glittering
exception to the usual construc-
ton blunder. There the county
officials had planned to expend
a large sum in the building of
gravel roads.
w. L. Spoon, United States
Superintendent of Road Con-
struction, being sent to make an
inspection of the county's road
possibilities, learned that 700
miles of important routes needed
improvement. He figured that
the cost of gravel roads would be
5000 mile-plainly a sum
greater than the county could be
bonded for. Conditions, how
ever, were ideal for sand.clay
construction and he strongly
urged its adoption. By a legal
proviso the county could be
bonded for only 3 1.2 per centum
Of the assessed value Of the real
and personal property. The plan
was decided upon and an issue
of $l49,000 was voted. One
hundred thousand dollars worth
of the bonds were quickly sold,
being disposed of in $50, ,0h0 al
lotments.
The first allotment brought a
premium of $625 and the sec md
one of 1926. Forty thousand
dollars was at oEce spent for
mules and road-building machin.
cry and work was started.
With the sum remaining, 118
miles of the finest sand. clay roads
in the South had been built
within two years from the date
of the bond issue; a generou 8
sum was still on hand eight
gangs were at work. and the
people were so pleased that they
stood ready to take up the re-
naming issue of $43 900 and
expend it in the same way.
1t is the belief of the Director
of the Office of Public Roads
that such facts shou!d be i'm
