Why Not Gravel Our Roads.

Late interest is growing in the
state.
In no part of it can the roads be
si iaveled more cheaply than in Delta
and Montrose counties.
Nearby mesas stand ready with
plenty of gravel, which could be
used to fill into ruts and holes. In
most sections this gravel will mix
with the native soil to form a splen-
did road bed.
Over most of the upper section
of the county, particularly that from
Delta to Cedaredge, there are out
groupings of shale which, when
worked into the soil in sufficient
quantity, makes road surface
almost as smooth and hard as a
paved street.
There are but few sections of
the state so bountifully supplied
with good roads material as our
own Naturally our roads must be
graded and proper drainage sup
piled, but. when that is done, as
much of the road funds available
as possible should be turned to
the gravel and shale process to
render them permanently good.
We have much dry weather and
much hauling. This brings dust
and ruts, when nothing but the soil
is used. With the foreign hard
substance added. the dust and ruts
could be largely done away with.
With proper road equipment
for sitting the gravel. so as to clean
il of cobble stones and boulders.
even a little road repair work
would go long ways.
