The Road DRAG Law.


Chapter 1877 Of the session laws Of
Kansas for 1909 creates an individual
called the drag man" His duty Is
to form an intimate acquaintance
with a road drag, whose manufacture
Is also slightly described in the same
law. 1t is his duty to hitch this drag
to team OF horses and work II up
and down the highway during the
year In the hope Of bettering the
condition Of the highway.
The law, which refers dratgs and
drag roads says, "And 1t shall be the
duty Of said board to see that the
provisions Of this act are enforced"
Here are three sections Of this law:
Section 1. 1t shall be the duty Of
the township board, for the purpose
OF this act, to designate such roads
as in their judgment, by reason Of
amount Of travel and grade conditions
shall be known as drag roads. They
shall divide such roads into sections
as will best carry out the purpose
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 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 a drag man for each
section whose duty 1t shall be to drag
the public highway on his section
when the conditions 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 to be less than
seven feet in length. Said hoard
shall divide such roads as require, by
reason Of travel and grade width
more than one trip with drag. For
the purpose Of this act a trip shall
be the dragging Of the entire length
Of section and return. The town.
ship board shall designate what por-
tiOn Of the road shall be single-trip
and what part shall be double-trip
road.
section 2. In the selection and
appointment Of a drag man the resi-
dents abutting their section shall
have tho preference; provided that
township boards may remove the drae
man from his position on account Of
Intellectual work and make another
appointment for said section at any
time.
Section 3. Compensation for a
single trip shall be at the rate Of not
to exceed fifty cents per mile, with
a maximum expenditure Of five dol
lars per mile for any one year; and
for double trip roads at the rate Of
seventyfiye cents per mile, with
a maximum Of seven dollars and fifty
cents per mile for any one year."
This act Is in force and effect. It
applies to every township board. It
is an inexpensive way. Many a mile
Of road can be made better than it
is now. 1t is easy to improve mile
after mile Of highway and 1t is easy
TO decide whether or not this method
will do the work.
