State Road Inspector j. NJ. Hale
shares the untiattering view of sew
eraI other good roads men cognizant
Of the kind of work now being done
on the Seelyville road. Mr.. Hale
said Monday that the wisest way
for the township supervisors to have
gone about the job would have been
to use three-quarter stone to reduce
the depressions, putting 40-per cent. |
asphalt oil on top after the stone
had been properly rolled. This, he
says, would have put the road in
such shape that for 10 years it !
would require no attention. The
depressions have been filled with
stone varying from the three-inch |
stuff down to dust and this crude |
treatment has not been rolled. AL |
ready, according TO the state inspec-
tor and others that have seen the |
job, the road has commenced to roll |
from gutter to gutter. The stuff the
supervisors have put on the Seely- !
Vile road might, Mr. Hale thinks, |
have been used to good advantage on
other roads in Texas.
