THE WORST ROAD IN THE WORLD

THE WORST ROAD IN THE WORLD
Two hundred and fifty visiting
school teachers, forty or more Moscow
automobile owners and two county
commissioners today visited probably
the worst country road in Latah
world.
The road to the colony of summer
camps that includes DINGHY Dell,
Idler's Rest, larry While and
others, and serves one of the richest
districts tributary to Moscow has
long shown signs of neglect, but in
the past ten years it has never been
in such bad condition as at present,
and it has just been worked.
This is not the first Latah county
but it is to be doubted if there was
ever more horrible example of what
road should not be, but often is
In the first place, the plan that the
road builder had in mind was ill ad-
vised 1t is to be observed in prac-
tically all parts of the country, that
very wide roads are usually bad both
in sumner and winter. The best roads
are those that are about wide enough |
m writ
ing along the edges inside the ditch,
and crowned less than many of the |
roads now being worked The wide |
roads are never we'll prepared, We
hicles wander all over them, they are
cut up into dust in summer and into
mud in winter and the drag is inca
pable of putting them into shape, as
can be done with the narrower road.
The wide road has no advantage over
the type just described, and has many
disadvantages. Its building always ,
represents waste of money, and in
sures its users of neglected road
that cannot be maintained at a reason :
able cost
In the second place, the work done 7
on the DINGHY Dell road was faulty in +
a way all too common. When earth :
is moved it should be leveled or
off at once. To wait a sin
gle day means that the material will :
harden, and the road will be per-
rough. To use a road grad
err on it would only fill the depres
sions with fine dirt to be ground up
into dust by passing wheels as a
druggist grinds material in a mortar
a most efficient grinding device. Us
ing a drag on it returns a small ben
eft for the effort, for it is not especi-
ally well suited to the filling of any
but small holes. There are ways to
improve badly made road, but they
are without exception more expen- Il
sive than making the road right in the
first place.
Three things should be indelibly
written in the minds of every person "

EMPLOYERS TO HELP
ENFORCE LABOR LAW
Committee Appointed to
Cooperate With State
COMMISSIONER.

At a melting in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday aft
ernoon, State Labor Commissioner
Ashton approved Of a plan submitted
by several local business men for the
appointment of a committee of local
employers who will work in connec-
ton with the labor commissioner in
making a survey of local labor con-
ditions.
Special attention will be paid by
Mr.. Ashton to the alleged violations
in this city of this nine e-hour day law.
especially with references to the en-
ployment of women and girls in laun-
dries and stores, where they are
worked longer than nine hours with
out the prescribed rest or intermis-
sion.
1t was decided that an effort would
be made by Mr. Ashton and the COM
mittee which will work with him to
secure all data available and then
make a personal visit to each place Of
business where alleged violation OF the
state law is carried on. At first the
men will request that the law be
lived up to. If this is not done IL is
probable that arrests will follow i'm
mediately.
