From fifty to sixty thousand miles of
the public highways in this state must
necessarily be improved, maintained
and repaired as ordinary earth roads
and will be so managed for the next
century or so. If 1t is the policy to
improve ten or twelve thousand miles
of public roads known as main mar.
ket and inter-county highways, and if
the counties themselves undertake the
Improvement of an additional ten or
twelve thousand miles of county roads,
there still will be between fifty and six.
ty thousand miles of ordinary roads
that must be cared for by the town
ships. 1t is therefore quite apparent
that careful consideration should be
given to the study of the specific sub.
ject of earth roads.
The proper maintenance of earth
roads is unquestionably of very great
Importance. 1t has been demonstrated
that by the proper use of the road
drag the minimum cost of maintenance
may be attained on such roads that
have been properly drained, shaped and
crowned. BY the systematic use of road
drags earth roads have been main
tanned and kept in ideal condition at
an average cost of less than $40 per
mile per year. Accordingly, one hun
dred miles of such public thorough
fares, barring extraordinary conditions
can be kept in ideal condition for less
than $1,000 per year.
The act of draining such roads pre-
serves the crowns, fills depressions
and prevents the road bed from be
coming water soaked. Water is the
natural enemy Of any road, and eternal
vigilance by systematic dragging is
necessary to the end that an earth
road may be put in condition immed
lately following each rain SO that il
will carry the water quickly from its
surface during the succeeding rain
Township authorities should realize
the necessity of perfecting an organ
ization for carrying on such work, and
this organization should be perfected
in the winter or early in the spring so
that work may be done as soon as the
frost Is out of the ground. All ma
chinery should be thoroughly exam.

whether he desired TO have all per-
mits granted by the council for use
or occupancy Of the streets. rescind-

ell.
FenkeIl reviews the fight against
street distractions from the begin
ming. Despite the passage Of dras-
tic charter amendment rorbidding
the council to grant special privi-
ieges In the street, the commission
er states that his attitude and ac-
tons In removing showcases and
gasoline tanks, for which no permits
were ever issued, have apparently
made him very unpopular, not only
with the parties interested, but with
members Of the council.
II have no desire 10 institute a
sinsle-handed fight TO enforce ordi-
nances and regulations so evidently
unpopular" says the commissioner,
land I therefore Will not initiate ac-
ton against them in the future. ex-
cept on the specific direction of the
common council"
In conclusion he calls attention to
the fact that on July 1, 1915. there
were 200 showcases encroaching on
public space. and that only 80 Of
these had obtained permits from the
council.
