BUILD COUNTRY ROADS GUOD
Highway Commissioners Charged With
Responsibility Do Not Inform
Themselves on Subject.
BY HOWARD II. CROSSE

One OF the chief drawbacks to the
good roads movement Is the slipshod
methods of road building. Highway
commissioners, who are charged with
the responsibility of road building and
maintenance, do not as a rule take the
trouble to inform themselves upOn the
subject, and the result is what one
should e~Xpect-pOOr construction and
expensive repairs, and good roads
given in some degree a black eye"
1t is a costly fallacy to assume that
anyone can fix the road. The writer
heard a commissioner say:
Il hauled ten wagons of gravel and
dumped them into that big mud hole
by Jackson's pasture"
No attempt was made to drain the
road, and yet this was what was most
needed in that particular case.
The most important rule in road
building is to drain the road. Get the
water off the surface and away from
the road as quickly as possible. A road
that is we'll drained is half built.
The and kind of material
used is as important as the method OF
construction. Ordinarily the main
body of a road, the first layer, may be
OF any hard material-stone, gravel,
Stag or cinders. The top course of
three inches, however, ought to be
hard, SO as to resist the wear. and Tor
this purpose the best material in the
central west is crushed granite, large
deposits of which cover nearly one
third OF the state of Wisconsin. This
is excellent road material and car be
furnished from at least half a dozen
different points of the state, upon as
many different railway lines, and it is
feasible and practical to ship this sew
eral hundred miles for road building
purposes. On a Well-drained roadway,
four lnches Of stone, gravel, Stag or Gin
ders, covered with three inches of
Wisconsin granite, making a hard road
seven inches deep, will last longer srd
wear better, and require less repairs
than twice that thickness of any OF the
softer materials, and the lust will be
less. The increased first cost will be
more than offset by the less repairs
and the longer life Of the road.
In Lake Superior districts trap rock
is found, which is also an excellent
material for a wearing surface.
Nearly all states have an expert
enced and capable highway engineer,
and local authorities who desire to i'm
prove the roads should always consult
him. II his advice is followed, better
work will result and money will be
saved. These men are employed by the
states for this very purpose, and the
highway commissioners should make
use OF them.
At he great International Good
Roads congress in Paris the writer
heard the question asked OF an emf
nent French engineer: How soon af-
ter the road is completed should re-
pairing it begin?' The answer was:
The next day" This means, of course,
that in taking care of the road, "a
stitch in time saves nine" and it some
times saves 10. One of the great trou-
bleS with us, where roads are built, is
that we spend a large sum of money to
build the road and make no provision
for taking care of it.
