ROAD MAINTENANCE
IS GREAT PROBLEM
HIGHWAY ENGINEER GAVE AN'AD-
DRESS AT CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE LUNCHEON
People Must Look to Successful Meth
DDS in Maintaining Roads at the
Least Cost

That the solution of the problems of
road maintenance is a matter of vital
Importance to the people of America
is the opinion of c. H. Kendall, SEN
ior highway engineer of the depart
ment of agriculture, who addressed
the Chamber of Commerce at its noon
day meeting today.
Mr.. Kendall said, in part:
"Since the birth of the Good Road
movement in the States in the early
nineties most everybody has been
misled by the idea that road construc-
tion was permanent improvement.
1t has been only in recent years that
the people have begun to realize that
| this form of permanent improvement
has to be sustained by proper mainten-
ance.
There are now in most States pretty
good standards in road designs and
general uniformity in construction
methods of the higher types of roads,
but maintenance systems are far from
being developed or adopted in proper
ton to these standards.
THE practice of making road re-
pairs once year that has been SO long
in vogue in this country has repeat
eddy demonstrated its inefficiency.
But in these states where some form
of maintenance has been adopted, it
has been found so efficient, success
full, and satisfactory that to return to
the old system would meet with the
strongest kind of public protest
Maintenance is really a series of
small repairs and it is more econom-
ical to make these repairs as needed
than to do it periodically. Defects in
a road grow alarmingly if neglected
and the cost of restoring the road to
normal condition is much greater than
if attention is given when the repairs
are a small item. The advantage OF
construction repairs is not only fin
ancial one but the advantage of a
good smooth road to the travelling
public is self-evident."
Mr.. Kendall spoke with approval |
of the materials available here for |
gravel roads, and recommended the |
Split-log, and lap-plank drags as es-
pecially valuable for the maintenance
OF earth and gravel roads.
