pertinent stations, and thousands of
bulletins ON the subject have been
sent TO farmers.
The question has often been raised
why it is possible to construct a good
road which will stand heavy traffic by
means of the King road drag without
the use of macadam. In the first
place. it is explained by Mr.. King, a
Travelled road that has been undis-
turbed for a year or more possesses a
tough hard crust which is valuable.
Many road men cover this impervious
crust with thick blankets of soft,
loose earth, while others will tear it
all to pieces. This crust or shell
should neither be broken nor covered.
1t should first be leveled with the drag
and all the wrinkles and ruts smooth
ed out of it. Then it should be thick
ened gradually.
SO much has been written lately re-
garding the dragging of roads that
many people beginning the use of the
drag become discouraged before they
are well started. They should under
stand that it often takes a whole sea-
son for the road to become properly
puddled and baked to withstand the
rains and traffic.

two thousand people live within the city
proper while nearly as many more live
within a short radius ON small tracts

the citys inhabitants
One of the best evidences Of the sub
stantiality of Monroe may be found in
the fact that there is not a cent Of bond

TEN-YEAR-OLD ROADS BEST.
Builders Are Getting Careless, Kansas
City Judge Says.

City Judge says.
"Why are the roads built ten years
ago better today than the roads built
three or four years ago."
That question was asked by Judge
and Judge +. Il. AXline of Kansas
City. The questioned judges shook
their heads.
simply because the plans and spec
ificationS made and carried out ten
years ago were for real rock roads
work and for the further reason that
the contractors who did the work ten
years ago were required to build the
roads exactly according to plans and
specifications" answered Judge Gil,
bert.
There is going to be n change H.
this road building business" Mr.. Gil.
bert said. and the other members Of
fere1 the additional bit Of information
that there is going to be decided
change.
Contractors In recent years haven't
been building the roads in strict COM
pliance with the plans and specifica-
TONS" Mr.. Gilbert added further.
Some of the contracts called for
roads twenty feet wide and others
sixteen feet wide. They are a little
narrower than those wiurns in many
places-too many places. The same
contracts called for the macadam to be
fifteen inches in the center-little
enough--and nine inches deep at the
sdges. The macadam is not that deep
