IMPORTANCE OF ROAD MAIN
TENANCE AND REPAIR

There is no phase Of the road prob
lem more important that that of main
tenance. The general impression that
there are certain types of roads that
are permanent is erroneous. No
permanent road has ever been con-
structed or ever will be, according to
the road specialists of the department.
The only things about a road that may
be considered permanent are the grad
ing ,culverts, and bridges. Roads con-
structed by the most skillful highway
engineers will son be destroyed by the
traffic, frost, rain, and wind, unless
they are properly maintained. But
the life of these roads may be pro-
longed by systematic maintenance. A
poor road will not only be improved by
proper maintenance, but may become
better in time than good road without
it.
The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
surface we'll drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed, and a
smooth crown maintained. Except for
very stony soil the road machine or
scraper may be used very effectively
for this work. The machine should be
use one or twice year, and the work
should be done when the soil is damp,
so that is will pack and bake into a
hard crust. Wide and shallow side
bitches should be maintained with suf-
ficient fall and capacity to dispose Of
surface water. These bitches can in
most places be constructed and repair
ed with road machine.
All vegetable matter, such as sods,
and weeds, should be kept out of the
road, as they make a spongy surface.
which retains moisture. Clods are
also Objectionable, for they soon turn
to dust or mud, and for that reason
roads should never be worked when
dry or hard. Bowlders or loose stones
are equally Objectionable if smooth
surface is to be secured.
A split-log drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface after suitable bitches and
cross section have once been secured.
This drag can also be used to advan-
tage on a gravel road as well as on an
earth road. The principle involved in
dragging is that clays and most heavy
soils will puddle when wet and set
very hard when dry. The little atten
ton that the earth road needs must
be given promptly and at the proper
time if the best results are to be OBJ
tanned.
In dragging roads only small
amount of earth is moved, just
enough to fill the ruts and depressions
with a thin layer Of plastic clay or
earth which packs very hard SO that
the next rain instead Of finding rus,
depressions, and clods in which to col
lect runs Off leaving the surface but
little affected.
The drag should be light and should
be drawn over the road at an angle Of
about As degrees The driver should
ride on the drag and should not drive
faster than walk. One round trip,

THREE ARMED NEGROES
SHOOT RECKLESSLY

DR.. Mark o. Carey and two of his
patients had a narrow escape from
death Saturday night when one of
three drunken negroes who passed his
once fired shot which lodged in the
arm Of the dentists chair. James Ma.
let OF 32S Nallette street was sitting in
the chair at the time, and the bullet
came within an inch of his body.
DR.. Carey was doing some profes-
sional work for Mr.. Malet. while an.
other patient. plaude DunesniI. 4Ol Ho-
mer street was sitting in a chair near
ne window. The dentist had left his
patient just for a moment and was at
tending to fire in an open CRATE when
he heard several pistol shots. He
rushed TO the door just as a bullet
crashed through the glass and imbed-
ded itself in the arm of the dental
chair. The ball came within a few
inches of the dentist.
While DR.. Carey was telephoning to
the police of the Eighth Precinct Sta
ton his negro porter followed three ne
groes who were still firing off revolv-
| ers. Sergeant Dunn, with a detail of
police, hurried to the scene and fol-
lowed the negroes, who ran into a
yard at Bouny and Eliza streets.
The negroes at first denied all knowl-
edge of the shooting, and a search fail
ed to reveal any weapons on them
Sergeant Dunn, however. ordered that
the yard be searched, and two revolv-
ers and a razor were found behind a
woodpile. One of the weapons was a
.45-caliber Colt and the other was of
smaller caliber.
The negroes were taken before Su-
perintendent of Police Reynolds. where
they gave their names as James Park
er 707 Slidell avenue; Julius Nicholas,
14l9 Patterson street, and Harry Smith
of Farragut street, near the Naval Sta
ton.
Parker and Nicholas later admitted
doing the shooting.
