ct. centralizing Of the authority
in the county court seems TO have been
the most effective method of dealing
with the problem of upkeep, close
supervision being found necessary if
the roads are to be kept in perfect re-
pair.
The necessity of the patrol system
is made more apparent from the widely
different effect of wagon and auto
traffic. The dust surface, kept con
stantly forming by the travel of horses
and vehicles and so essential TO the
permanency of the roads, is sucked up
and whiskcd away by the swiftlymov-
ing motor, while the same motors wear
off no dust from the stones remaining
to take the place of that removed.
This condition has brought about much
experimenting in the making of sur
face, but as yet no solution has been
found II has been demonstrated
however, that with an effective patrol
system one man can attend several
miles of road with single horse and
cart, carrying with him some of the
materials for repairing and keeping
others in stations located at intervals
along his route. The expense incurred
in this manner is found to be slight,
the first cost proving to be practically
the full cost. In Europe n road, once

mules will haul l2 bales of cotton any
month in the year over the same road.
A contemplation of the difference in
expense arising from these changed
conditions will convince the most skep.
teal of the value of system of good
roads.
In many counties throughout the
United States, vast sums of money
have been spent for the construction of
permanent roads, but the most import.
ant feature of the movement has been
overlooked. This is the upkeep of the
road after constructed. County officials
seem to regard the newly constructed
road as completed. The upkcep is neg
lcctcd and almost before they know it
the surface is gone, the bottom has
been undermined and the work has to
be done again at the expense of the
taxpayer. To overcome this evil there
seems to be but one remedy-the pa
troll system. Properly organized, this
method of handling the roads will be
found inexpensive and efficient the
road once constructed properly being
kept constantly in as good condition
as when new. Authority is distributed
among too many supervisors in the
majority of cases and each is given n
free hand for the maintenance of the
roads of his district as best he sees
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1913-01-23

constructed, is constantly watched and
kept in repair. In America it is sell
dom touched after it is built. Here is
our mistake. In many countries the
best road building materials are to be
found along the highway, thus reducing
to minimum the cost of upkeep. 1t
has been found that about 20 per cent
Of the roads carry 90 per cent of the
traffic. The patrol system, adjusted to
meet this condition, would find the up
keep of the roads less frequently used
to be very light.
The reform of our system must begin
with repairing. Nothing speaks better
for a community than a system of ex-
cellent roads. Nothing is so discourag
ing to the prospective settler or the
casual observer as good road full of
chuck-holes, the result of neglect. If
the patrol system is followed in this
country as it is in Europe, there will
he no bad stretches of road for the
methods now known and advised by
our government are superior to those
of the old country. Until about three
years ago nothing had been done to
bring the matter before the public.
Now the Importance of the automobile
as factor in road construction has
made imperative a close study of the
best methods in order that surface
may be kept that will not yield to the
suction Of the soft pneumatic tire and
NJ the same time come within tho limit
of the taxpayer pocketbook. With
the government to advise and with
thorough upkeep system, this result
may be attained and the full benefits
of permanent road system be de-
rived. A national association for high
way improvement is the next step in
this great movement.

duced the county to build them a
shorter and better road, with the re-
suit that they now can market their
produce at a profit, whereas formerly
the greater part of their residue was
eaten up through the expense Of mar
keting.
These are but isolated examples of
the results to be realized from good
roads. Hundreds of others may be
found, particularly in France, where
the science of road building has been
carried to it's greatest perfection. SO
perfect is the system of roads in many
parts of France that freighting is done
by team and auto truck in annually
increasing quantities, the railroads
reaping their share of the profits from
the increased tonnage of farm products
hauled to their tracks. England can
furnish the same story. New Jersey
has been building good roads since
1892. In Essex county farm values
have increased Al per cent in the last
decade, while taxes have decreased al
most so per cent. From North Caro-
lima comes similar intelligence, an in
stance being cited where, prior to the
campaign for permanent roads, it was
difficult to make the trip to market
with single bale of cotton drawn by
a team of sturdy mules. Now two

The wealth of Mexico in agricultural
mineral and natural resources has
proven so alluring that American rail
roads have entered the field with zest
and have expended millions of dollars
in construction of trunk lines and
branches reaching far into the interior
and tapping the richest sections of the
country. Apparently no attention has
been paid to the expense entailed in
reaching the goal, for canyons have
been trestled, mountains pierced and
rivers spanned that but few years
ago challenged the skill of the best
engineers. Rich valleys and mineral
laden mountains are thus reached in
this strangely unrestful country and
the scenic wonders of many portions

The expenditure of so much money

contestants. During the late revolu-
tions of NIadero and Orozco bridges
were dynamited and trains wrecked,
the replacing of which entailed the
expenditure of millions of dollars.
Wherever the presence of bridge
proved of advantage to the enemy, it
was blown up with dynamite, and
whenever either faction could find a
trainload of the enemy's soldiers en-
route, the spreading of the rails, or
the undermining of a trestle spelled
the doom of the entire force. Saber
