Cuiverts for Roads Across Swamp.

Many of the roads of Louisiana
cross bayous where the swampy c.n-
ditions are very troublesome aaJ
render any of thc usua. types of con
struction undesirable. .Theswamys are
often so deep that the cost of foun
dations for BRIDGE or masonry
structure of anv kind would be very
great in )mparison with the Usual
expense of this work. At one Of
these bayous, for instance, scant-
ling 2 inches square and 16 feet long
was pushed down into the mud for
its full length without encountering
any appreciable resistance. This
particular bayou was $50 feet wide
and the water in it was 25 feet deep
in places, but the current was very
slight and the only use of a culvert
was to maintain the water at the
same height on each side of the road.
To meet this condition, an earth EN-
bankment was constructed out from
each bank to carry the roadway, and
a corrugated iron pipe feet in dia-
meter was laid across it below the
water level. Such a culvert is called
an equalizer by State Highway En-
gineer Atkinson, who employs this
method of meeting such swamps
drainage conditions, because it's pur-
pose is primarily to equalize the
water level on each side Of the en-
bankment rather than to drain a
tract of wet land.
