FOUNDATION FOR GOOD ROAD
First Thing Road Builder Should
Strive For Is to Have Ground
work Good and Solid.

(By E. W. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College.)
The good roads movement in Colo
,rado seems now to have acquired full
swing and the next ten years will see
most of our important roads surfaced
with gravel. 1t is important that this
gravel be placed upon good founda'
ton or it will be mixed with the clay
and lost.
Some time ago an important road
was being surfaced and those IN
charge were plowing up the old road
which was very hard, the Jumps were
being broken as much as possible,
then the road was given a light roll
ing, wet thoroughly and the gravel
then spread and rolled. When asked
why they were putting the gravel on
the soft mud foundation, the reply
came. $50 that it will knit we'll with
the clay" This is exactly what should
ibe guarded against as much as posi-
BILE and is the very thing road builders
should seek to avoid.
!. Let us remember that gravel will
knit or mix with the clay below IN
spite of all we can do, but the harder
the clay foundation surface Is and the
firmer 1t is compacted, tho longer will
the gravel stay on top and give a
smooth wearing surface and the long
er the road will last.
All authorities are agreed on this
point, and the first thing that road
builder should strive for is to have his
earth foundation solid and hard and
the drainage so fixed that it will re-
main so.
