models of their kind and at the end of
the year it is possible to account for
every penny paid out and to distribute

reach the average cost mile.
At the beginning of the work def.
mite system of roads was planned, radi-
ating from the county seat. This sys-

traffic within the county in very
few years.
Eventually some plan of the kind
must be adopted for each county. We
must adequately grade and drain in
some systematic way as large mile
age each year as possible, beginning
with the roads carrying the most traf

Actual Work Done.


In the previous article the general
principles which should govern road
building were brought out.
These principles have been put into
active operation in an effective man
ner by the present board of supervis-
ors Of Poweshiek county. Other coun-
ties before had done more or less ef-
fective work under similar plans, but
it remained for the supervisors of this
county to develop the system to the
highest degree. The first considera-
ton and the governing one was ef-
ficiency. Thus. the superintendent,
the machinery, the Accommodations for
the men, each was selected or plan
ned to secure in the highest possible
degree, efficiency.
The Equipment.
Early in 1909, after going over the
idea and plan of organization thor
oughly with the highway commission,
the board of supervisors purchased
the following equipment which is prac-
tically complete list of all machinery
and equipment necessary for earth
road building in this state:
l elevating grader, l blade
grader, / 3h ton road roller,
disc harrow and plows, cost 81 $1,000
/ level and target 49.OO
l sleeping tent with cots; l
horse tent, with hangers. 10000
l cook and dining house on
trucks with incidental fixtures 1883
Total for complet outfit ..$2,477 .33
To operate this outfit with horses
or mules, twelve to sixteen teams are
required, which would be divided as
follows:
Elevating grader, 6 teams.
Disc or harrow, IL teams.
Wheelers, 4-6 teams.
Slips, "a teams, or blade grader,
teams.
Roller 2 teams.
Wheelers and slips, all remaining
available teams.
