is to say, Iowa has taken the precau-
ton to care in advance for every de-
tail.
The county in Iowa pays one
mill road tax. Incorporated towns do
not derive benefit from the revenue
The county is divided into districts
and each district is allotted a GER
tain number of men and teams. A
county commissioner supervises the
the most for the tax allowance at
his disposal. The men, teams and
machinery are shifted from place to
place. the working gangs are pro-
vided with camping outfits; the
work is continued without Interrupt
ton; the farmers and general 'front.'
age owners are looking on, Sinking
or sighting is soon observed, and
the county commissioner is answer
able to the people for neglect or
inefficiency on the part of his fore
man or gangs.
In Iowa the idea seems to be that
no road can be so built as to go
long without attention and repair.
The gang system enables the county
commissioner to mobilize his force
frequently under constant marching
orders. 1t can be used to make re-
pairs before the injury to the road
spreads; it is operated on the stitch
n-time-saves-nine principle, the re-
suit being a saving that permits of
extension and improvement of the
main travelled highways as the in
creasing traffic demands. The Iowa
idea in road caretaking is similar
to that followed in Germany, France
and other European continental
countries, where the highways are,
in a sense never permitted to get
out of repair.

IOWA IDEA IN ROAD BUILDING.

IOWA IDEA IN ROAD BUILDING.
In the middle west it is no longer
a question of good roads, but rather,
a question of how to obtain and how
to MAINTAIN them, says an Iowa ex-
change. Several of the states are
ready to provide literally for the
work. They are DESTROYS, however, of
ascertaining how 1t can best be done
Before the Minnesota legislature is a
bill that would place the administra-

the hands of the county commission
ers The Minneapolis Journal thinks
that this would operate to create a
pork barrel system. In Iowa, how
ever, the commissioners are given con-

building in each county, and a COR

named that the plan works out in
a highly satisfactory way. But it
