out the purposes and provisions
of this act. And it shall be the
duty of said board to see that
the provisions of this act are en-
forced. Beginning at a point
nearest to the city or town these
sections shall be continuous to
the extreme point dragged or to
the township boundary except
where soil conditions make it
impracticable to drag. Said
board shall appoint drag man
for each section, when the con-
ditions of such highway require
such work. The township board
shall provide a road drag for
each section, which shall be shod
with steel blades and not be less
than seven feet in length. Said
board shall divide such roads as
required by reason of travel and

LAW SAYS DRAG THE
ROADS.
Only Law Passed Direct
ing Manner Of Work
ina the Roads.

A good many people do not
know that the law creates a
drag man" and defines how he
shall do the work. Road laws
are as old as roads, but the drag
ging of roads is the first to ever
be specifically recognized.
The latest law followsi-1t is
mandatory for the townships
boards to use the drag.
Chapter 1917 of the session laws
of kansas for 1909 creates an in
aividual called the drag man. "
His duty is to form an intimate
acquaintance with a road drag,
whose manufacture is also de-
scribed in the same law. 1t is
his duty to hitch this drag to a
team of horses and work it up
and down the highway during
the year, in the hopes, of better
the conditions of the highway.
This job of drag man is a very
important place. A man should
have a good road head.
To build a road under this
drag law means the use of a lot
of common sense. And it can
BE- done on a lot of roads. >
The law which refers to drags
and drag roads says: And II
shaIl be the duty of said board
to see that the provisions of this
act are enforced. 80
Here are three sections of this
law: Section L. 1t shall be
the duty of the township board,

has saved the county consider

did so when he was coroner be-

an inquest was unnecessary, he
would not hold one, and by so
doing would save the taxpayers
quite a nice little sum of money
each time. OF course, by this
method the cOnstables, jurymen
