PROGRESS MADE IN
GOOD ROAD WORK
Otto KochtitLky Says Jackson
Road Gravel Would Reduce
Benefits of Oil.

The reports offered at the monthly
meeting Of the Cape Township Special
Road District, held yesterday after
noon in the office of Otto Kochtftz
indicate great progress in the work
Of Improvement and development OF
highways in this particular section Of
the county
It was shown that recent work ID,
been devoted mostly to the Bl0onlfelu
road which is now in good condition,
except for dragging, and all arrange
ments have been made to look aIic.
that feature as soon as the weather
will permit.
Mr.. kochtitzky, who is one of tn,
officers in the district, and VII
deeply interested in bringing >thc
country roads to the highest standard,
in an interview with Tribune repre-
sentative, said:
"We have been trying to suggest
to the automobile club that with the;
support we would be able to oil the
Jackson road next year, but we have
found by test that the benefit of Gil
ing on the loosely graveled road is no
very great, except to reduce dust, and
we are inclined to believ ethat the ex
penditure of money for that purpose
would be extravagant.
eve may be willing to contribute
part of the cost Of oiling the road but
have concluded it is hardly justifablc
for us to spend the whole amount. We
find that oil is best for a road bull
with an asphalt binder, and we cannot
afford that on a country road.
awe intend to improve the rock
levec road during this month, and vi
probably do some new road work next
month.
"Some attention will also be given
to the streets of the city connectin
with the county roads
The officers in charge of the District
work are T. H. Lewis, Otto Koehtitz-
ky, and F. w. Bertling. Denns Scival-
ly, county highway engineer, is also
employed by the district and was pres
ent with the three officials at the meet
ing held yesterday.
