Good Work in Liberty

1t would be worth any ones time
after hard rain storm to go over the
road from the Liberty Ridge to Sitter
SO that he can see what good work
will do toward good roads. This
spring chairman Jacob Wagner en-
ployed Mr. Ed Lind. competent man.
to run grader, and good engineer
to run traction engine with which
to pull the grader. They did a
splendid piece of work in rounding up
the road, made the road bed wide
and were ca.eful to make the round
ing up gradual instead of steep, as
most road men leave road. In this
way they avoided bitches close to the
travelled track.
Another good feature of a road
rounded up in this way is that King
drags work we'll on it. the road bed
having sufficient room to work the
drag going out, and returning the
dirt working toward the center.
Mr.. Wagner is to be congratulated
for the work ne has done so far this
season.
We understand he proposes in the
future to continuethe good work, ferling
that good roads il town add value to
every acre in the town.
The road from Liberty school house
to Sitter shows the proper method
to employ in road drainage and also
shows conclusively that when the rain
is over it only takes an hour or two of
sunshine to dry such a roadbed.
