A MODEL ROAD
At VALLEY CITY

Valley City, N. D., June 1.-THE
board of county commissioners in
compliance with resolution passed by
the convention OF road supervisors
held in this city last spring. are build
ing a piece of model dirt road south
east of the city. The work is in
charge of Benjamin Heidel of the u. s.
department of good roads. The COM
missioners are strengthening a por-
ton Of the road which angles near the
Bonhus farm a mile and a quarter
from the city.
Mr.. Heidel has been supplied with
men and teams. ploys. harrows, grad
ers and gasoline tractor. The first
piece Of road is to be graded and fin
ished with the sod worked up with
the loose earth while the north end
Of the stretch OF grade is to be made
from dirt free from sod. This is to
demonstrate to the road builders of
the county the necessity OF building
roads with dirt and not sod.
The road is to be about twenty feet
from ditch to ditch and is to be
crowned and hardened to make a
waterproof roadway.
Many people have visited the work
today and II Is expected that by to-
morrow when the finishing win actu-
ally begin, that the visitors will in
crease. The commissioners are doing
the work to enIighten the supervisors
Of the county as to the proper manner
