PRACTICAL LESSONS IN ROAD
.as4. BUILDING.

While Governor Ammons was here
Saturday the question of road build
ing was discussed and this brought up
the work of the city on the Durango
Animas city road, which will be a
lasting monument to Mayor Henry
Scouton. 1t is practically the only
piece of real road building in the
county and The Herald is pleased over
the action Of the county commission
ers in extending the same character
of work. The real test of road work
is when rains come. For the past ten
days or two weeks we have had rain
almost every day and Saturday night
our people remember the down-pouY
for an hour and the three to four
inches Of muck on the main streets of
the city. The writer had occasion to
70 over the new road shortly after
the rain. And 1t was found to be in
~ good shape as though no rain had
fallen There wasn't even dent in
the mile or more Of road. In fact, the
/. heavy rains and travel appear to have
hardened the road. We have not the
figures showing the cost Of putting
the road in shape, but the expensive
! was not excessive. The material used,
gravel and clay, forms combination
that works to perfection. Governor
Airmons was invited to inspect the
work but lacked the time
Every one who has occasion to 60
over the new road is high in commen-
dation Of Commissioner Scouton, the
work contributing more to his popu-
larity than any one thing It shows
what can be done with the streets Of
Durango. 1t would not cost over s25,-
900 to gravel all the avenues in North
and South Durango and the main trav-
eled cross streets. Some time ago
. there was considerable agitation over
the paving of Main street. Commits
sioner Scouton has proven that With
crushed rock and clay the street can
Re placed in shape for long years At
reasonable expense and the property
owners should take the matter up At
an early day SO the work can be done
under the direction Of Mayor Scouton
who has the right conception Of con-
structive and lasting road work. We
( are only sorry that Mr.. Scouton can
not be provided with a $4,000 fund
for street work in which case he would
be able to work wonders.
*. With the completion, or continua-
tion of the rock and gravel road be-
tween North Durango and Animas
City, one Of the worst pieces Of road
in La Plata county will be placed in
Afse and permanent shape. For the
Hast. thirty years this mile and half
Of road has been disgrace. During
theSopen months Of winter and spring
and long wet spells farmers have had
trouble in pulling an empty wagon and
: tho wonder Is that it has gone so long
without receiving proper attention,
and, as before stated, if the county
commissioners will provide funds for
7 continuing the work to the Animas
City bridge street they will come in
fora portion of the favorable COM
ment that is now being showered on
Mayor Scouton and other members Of
the. council who are cooperating in
the work.
