STONE ROADS ARE NEGLECTED
Thorouahfsres Not Made Wide
Enough. Nor Substantial In Places
Much Care Is Needed.

There are a great many people 90
ing TO be disappointed with stone
road and a lot OF money wasted
said Frank Van Malta Of Benton
county, Indiana, the other day. In
the first place they are not making
the roads wide enough nor substantial
enough in some places. and not taking
care OF them in others where they are
already built Some people seem to
think that after a stone road is made
II needs more attention. This is a
mistake. for Il is wearing down all
the time. Whenever a rut appears Il
should be filled. Some means should
be devised to keep the surface of the
road smooth. In many cases the wag-
on tracks have worn several inches
deep. Water stands in these and in
lures the road The road drag might
be used TO good advantage to keep
these tracks filled. Il would also help
IL people using the road would be
enough interested 10 drive all over
n instead OF in the track made bv
those ahead We need 70 have a
man 20 take care OF stone roads Ike

They do this in some eastern states
We must come 70 it n we expect to
make our stone roads pay"

The engineer should also be chief
engineer OF the construction with as
many assistants as necessary to carry
on the work OF road building. Some
states OF our commonwealth have
made the state engineer the chief

bile that could ke - up O pace Of 90
miles a day indefinitely. II would take
man more than ca years to cover
all the public roads In the United
States. A young man Of twenty

before he had covered the last mils

After an investigation extending
over many months. tho director OF the

Working Dirt Roads.

There is a great waste of money on
public highways. Why not use the
common road drag on the country dirt
roads? To allow. as is often done. an
earth road TO be cut up in a horrible
manner, without the uso Of the drag
in the proper time, then get hard and
dry. only to be worn down by the feet
of the teams and tires of the vehicles
Is certainly the most extravagant
method that could be pursued, says
