MAINTENANCE OF ROADS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN BUILDING
The Lax Methods Used IN Many
Sections Mean Wanton Waste
OF Public Money

Colorado Agricultural College,
The present waste of public moneys
thst is being committed today is in sur
facing our country roads and then ap-
parently abandoning same No county
that ever engaged in real road building
can afford TO dismiss its workmen when
the road is constructed. The fact of
the matter IS. that the work is just un-
der way.
II rarely ever happens that the initial
work on the road is done wisely. but
there are a number Of little things that
must be added or repaired in order tha,
the road may be in good condition.
Ruts and chuck holes are sure to
form and these must be filled or the
road soon goes TO pieces. These things
should be planned for and done quickly
If the improved road is TO do the fullest
service, and this is one thing that our
county commissioners seem to be
neglecting. They become so imbued
with the idea of building good roads
tha, they fail to provide for the main
tenance of the roads already con-
structed.
