Specifications for Maintenance Of
Dirt Roads.
General: The vital essential in hav-
ing good roads is proper and syste-
matte maintenance. The most perfect
grade or embankment will rut badly
after a heavy rain and remain In al
most impossible condition for a Ions
time. Our soil bakes very quickly and
the road surface hardens into Il rough
ness that is injurious and a hinderance
TO all classes Of traffic. Besides this.
the crown in a short time f1attens
down SO that water Is retained and the
roadway softened and wasted away.
One dressing of the road eac year
will not suffice. as constant attention
is ~necessary to keep h crown up and
true SO the water will drain off. 1t is
absolutely necessary that the ruts
and fiat places formed after each rain
or heavy shower is filed In as soon as
the soil can be worked. a sufficient
amount Of the road assessment should
be set aside for this work. and the
work assigned to men that will do the
work faithfully as 1t is needed.
Leveling: The main object of main
tenapce shall be to keep the road as
close to its original contour as pos
sible. As soon as feasible after each
rain that shall have soaked the road
way sufficiently SO that ruts develop
and while the soil is yet plastic but
will not stick to the tools. it shall be
passed over with a split log or King
drag. This drag nay be made OF
plank. provided with a steel cutting
edge, or be made entirely OF steel
having cutting edges Of angle steel and
a steel frame.
After the road has once been round
ed into shape and become thoroughly
compacted with the traffic. it will shed
the rain and require very little atten-
ton beyond going over 1t at the right
time to prevent the formation OF. any
ruts that will take water and permit
the roadway to soften. 1t must be re-
membered that u little work at the
right time is worth a great deal more
than several times as much spent at
longer intervals. One. and at the most
two, trips at y time will suffice after
the road II in shape and 1t has been
given the specified crown.
Weeds: All weeds shall be scrupu-
lously cut away, and cleaned out Of the
bitches and off the berms and slopes
every fall Where, weeds are permit
ed to grow, snow Will lodge in winter
forming drifts and deep impossible
snow when the rest Of the road may be
bare and firm. AIroad, must. above
all things. be Uniform. II most of it
will drift bare all should be the same.
