In order to do some necessary repairs. he obtained a quantity of timber and tools on credit. He then constructed two cases. one Of which was 1lX6X4 feet and the other about SX6Xi feet. and into these placed the stolen bugGies. carefully taken to pieces.

II Is not overstating the fact to say
that threefourths Of the men charged
with tho responsibility of building
and repairing the roads the country
over, know very little about the sub.
ject; they have not had the engineer.
Ing experience or even the practical
experience necessary; they have sim.
ply followed their predecessors and
they do what the fellow before them
did
In the movement for better high
ways the first step is a more intelll-
gent expenditure of the time and
money appropriated for the better
ment of the roads. to the end that the
community shall get the most and the
best results for its contribution. 1t
is common practice TO do either the
wrong thing, or If perchance the right
thing is done, to do II at the wrong
time OF the year, and the result is
very often an expenditure OF one dol.

In order to make suggestions that

some typical conditions and indicate
what It is best to do to improve the
roads under them.

most important step is drainage.

drainage, by side bitches with ample

water away from the highway, or by
tile. II the latter is done nothing
less than four inch tile ought to be
used and II should be very carefully
laid. and should be put on each side
of the road. particularly where the
drainage is most needed. Be sure
