lecturer cannot be sent, however, the
department will loan a set of suitable
lantern slides to any responsible To-
cal association or individual who will
pay the express charges. The only
requirement is that the slides be
made of active and practical use in
the community and that they be re-
turned in good condition in 80 days.
In addition, brief outline of lee
ture to accompany the slides will be
forwarded on request
In addition to this educational work
the department is always ready to re-
spond to requests for practical assist
ance which may take the form of spe-
cial advice and inspection, superin-
tendence of county roads, road sur
veys, experimental road work, bridge
work, or the development of a model
system of highways for county. To
obtain such assistance local authori-
ties should secure blank form from
the office of public roads on which to
make applications. Requests from
corporate villages or cities cannot be
met, however.
Bridge work is one branch of road
building in which the department may
be of particular service to local au-
thorities. Typical designs have been
prepared and copies Of these can be
furnished on request A few minor
alterations would probably make such
a design suitable for special condi-
tons, or an engineer may be assigned
to, inspect the site and offer sugges-
tons. In some cases designs by bridge
companies have been reviewed by the
department for the benefit of local Of
ficials.
Possibly the most important way,
however, in which the department as
sists individual communities in the
betterment of their roads is in laying
out model system Of highways for a
county which is about to expend' a
large sum of money on roads. In such
cases the department assigns an en-
gineer to make thorough study of
the district. He ascertains where
the best road materials are, what
roads are the most important, and,
therefore, to be improved first, and
provides for the location of each road
SO as to secure the best possible drain
