IMPROVE RICHLAND ROADS
The Split-log Drag Is To Be Used On
All of the Highways Of This
County.

Columbia.-W. F. Muller, county su-
pervisor is calling for bids to main
tain by the spllt-log drag method sec
tions of roads in Richland county dur
ing the coming fall, winter and spring
or from October to May.
The idea is to give each bidder
section of road. adjoining or through
his property, the sections being from
one to five miles in length. with
each section will go from one 10 three
split-log drags, depending on the
length of the section, and also the
necessary hand tools. Each success
fu; bidder will enter into a contract
with the county to maintain his Sec
ton from October to May for speci-
fic price for each mile, and he VIII
be furnished full instructions as 70
how it is best for him to keep his
section in perfect condition, and all
through the winter NJ. Goode Homes
of department OF civil engineering OF
the University of South Carolina Will
visit these sections and give instruc-
tions as to the best methods. On May
| it is contemplated to award to the
man having the best section OF road
wav a substantial money prize.
Each section of road will need 10
be dragged an average Of eight times
during this period, and the holes filled
10 and the bitches kept open. This
simple way of maintaining the roads.
and intelligently and faithfully ap-
piled. will keep such sections OF road
in perfect condition. The men VINO
take these contracts, in addition TO
being paid for each mile maintained
will be doing that which is of far more
Importance to themselves; that is,
keeping their own roads in good con-
dition. There is only one way TO
make this method success, and that
is for every one to turn out and take
part in this most important duty.
