IMPROVEMENT ASSN

town for maintenance purposes. The
patrolman works under the lmmedi-
ate direction of the County Superyis-
or He puts in his full time, or as
much as may be required, to main
tain the road in a satisfactory condi-
.tion. In this way the small defects
continually appearing under heavy
automobile traffic and from other
causes receive prompt attention, the
road drag can be used frequently and
wheu 1.-The road is in the right state of
moisture. In brief, the patrol work
is maintenance-keeping road from
getting bad-in distinction from re-
{, pairing-fixing a road after it gets
bad, the procedure which the town
commissioner is frequently forced to
adopt due to his limited funds and
the wide range of his territory.
The patrolman is provided with
either a single or double team as the
character of the road may require,
also when necessary additional labor
is furnished When the patrolman' s
time is not demanded in the care of
the road surface he is at work on
more permanent improvements such
as the removal of large rocks, open
ing culverts and bitches, widening
narrow stretches and cutting brush.
In 1914 the patrol system was in
use in one town, Woodford. For this
season it is in use in Pownal, Shafts
bury and Woodford.
In construction work the four fun
damentals of width, alignment, grade
and drainage have been the guiding
principles. All important roads have
been built at least q feet wide be-
tween centers of bitches and only
very infrequently have curves of less
than 400 feet radius been used, With
the exception of few specially
mountainous localities grades sleeper
than s per cent have not been per-
mitted and wherever practicable
without unusually heavy cost, per
cent has been the limiting grade.
Surface drainage has been provided
for by side bitches and culverts and
sub-surface drainage in wet locas
tions by underdrains or stone base as
the case required. No part of the
past seasons construction work has
been badly washed by either the
spring thaw or subsequent rains. The
standards of masonry construction
for this County have been low in the
past, both from the standpoint of
pleasing design and strength and dur
ability. Work of a better quality has
been required in both culverts and re
tanning walls. Several plain and
steel reinforced concrete culyerts
have been built, the latter being gen
orally innovations in the towns
where built.
The most extensive work has been
done in the towns of Bennington,
Pownal and Readsboro, the amount
expended being between $4,000 and
$4,000 in each town. The total of all
construction costs coming under the
direction OF the Supervisor amounted
to $32,179.31. Seven and one-fourth
miles of road were completed, con
sisting of 81 separate jobs In addi-
ton 10 pieces of resurfaeing were
done at cost of $2,43349.
The funds available for 1915 are
practically the same as for last year.
