TOO MUCH MONEY IS EXPENDED
ON SURFACING AND
FINISH.

ATLANTA, Ca. Nov. t3.-That
the most economical thing COM
munity can do is to improve all its
roads so that they will answer all
demands made upon them, was de-
clared by A. D. Williams, chief road
engineer of West Virginia before the
fourth American Roads congress in
session here. Mr.. Williams continued
that true economy In road building
lies in the first construction, and in
their proper location.
Mr.. Williams stated that the great
fault with road building in the south
is the tendency to spend great deal
Of time on the surfacing, and finish
Of road. and practically no atten-
ton to the location. foundation, and
grading, which is after all the only
permanent feature of road.
MANY of our roads were not To-
Gated by men who are engineers, but
were the foot paths of the primeval
mound builders. the buffalo, and the
wild animal that wandered to and
FRO through the forest" and thus, he
continued they need revising.
Mr.. Williams recommended the
use of machinery wherever possible
In road construction, as more cffec-
tive, and more economical than work
Gone by hand.
The fourth roads congress now in
session is one Of the most important
that has been held by the association.
There are approximately five thou
sand delegates in attendance. and
tile exhibits are valued at over two
million dollars.
