State Highway Commission ,R.ee

State Highway Commission .R.eon.
mends Ttis Plan TO County Boards.
Special to Times-Republican.
Ames. Sept. 29.-In a special bulletin
issued to county engineers the state
highway commission recommends a
system Of road patrolmen who shall
personally patrol the county roads, see
that repairing is done and let contracts
for dragging.
Ihis part of the bulletin reads:
ROAD DRAGGING AND REPAIRING.
The following is an extract from
Service Bulletin Number One, June
edition, page 20, section sixteen, para
graph sixty-eight relative to the drag
sing and repairing Of the county road
system:
The county board OF supervisors
and the engineer are charged with the
duty of repairing and dragging the
county road system as is required to
keep same in proper condition, and
shall adopt such methods as are neces-
sary to maintain continuously in the
best condition practicable, the entire
mileage of this system"
Many complaints have been received
at the office Of the commission relative
to the failure to make contracts for
road dragging and failure to maintain
properly the roads Of the county sy.-
tenn. This provision is quoted to show
that the powers and responsibilities of
the county engineer are equal to the
board of supervisors so far as the
maintenance and repairing and drag
ging OF the county roads Is concerned.
If the board fails to make proper con-
tracts for road dragging the county
engineer would have authority to and
must make Theses contracts. Some en-
gineers have already in practical work.
ing order, patrol system covering
practically the entire county system
This is the ideal and economical meth
cd for taking care Of the roads. The
road patrolmen should be given au-
thority to drag or hire dragging done
at the proper time, and to make such
repairs as are Immediately necessary,
subject to the general instructions Of
the board and engineer, but he should
be enthused with the idea of making
the county roads In his patrol safe for
traffic twenty-four hours out Of every
day in the year. The safety first"
program Of the railroads is equally
applicable to the patrol system Of
county and township roads under our
present high speed and heavy traffic.
