among themselves, usually with the
county engineers in attendance, and
occasionally with a representative Of
the state highway department present.
There are q few people who look on
such meetings as junkets, but when.
ever they are well conducted they
are of much value. The problems
that arise in grading, drainage, Sc
lecting road materials, the csnstruc-
ton of different types Of road, the;
utilization of. gravel pits and quarries,
the keeping Of accounts, maintenance
the care of the roadside and such
subjects, are SO various and the me-
thods Of solving them SO numerous,
that conferences Of the men engaged
in the work are worth many times
their small cost in time or money. 3

awake nights worrying that some 20
horse engine was going to. break
through one Of these so-called bridges
and fall on top of our neighbor and
kill him. Five. Five hundred dollars
lis 5 per cent interest on $4,000.
Would it not be good economy and
wise business to borrow $4,000 and
replace number Of these old cul-
verts and bridges with modern con-
crete structures that would safely
carry the the loa1s imposed upon
them and give us something for our
money, rather than pay the interest
on that amount patching around and
getting nothing? Concrete bridges
cost money, but i have yet to have
anyone prove to me that they are not
an economical investment. ,>..>,
/: You, iwll at once say that all this
sounds very well, and that you agree
with me, but "Get us the money: our
income is limited and the people will
vote down any bond issue that we
mihght, bring up for these things" I
cannot agree with you on this latter
point, My own experience in my own
county shows that the taxpayer is q
wise business man, and if eh is shown
that the money il being handled wise
ly and that he Is getting somewhere
near value received for what he pays,
he will vote right. p

direction to pile sod, brush or rub;

Iowa State Highway Commission re.
Gently stated. The Commission is
also of the opinion that any commun-
ity which permits such road work to
be done by any road crew on its
highway deserves just what It is get

excuse for such road building. II q

MAINTAINING MAcADAM ROADS

What to do in any kind of con-
struction work when one does not
have enough money to do the best
thing is very trying problem, par
ticularly when the work is for the
public, which expects the highest
class of results even when it pays for
only second or third class.
This is particularly true in road
improvements. In Rhode Island, for
instance, there are many miles of old
fashioned macadam roads built with
out bituminous material. They with
stood travel well until motor vehicles
became so numerous that different
kind of construction became neces-
sary. The Board Of Public roads has
not had enough money to reconstruct
the roads with the most durable but
expensive classes of material and
workmanship, and SO it is doing the
best it can with what it warns the
taxpayers are measures of only tenn
porary avail. When one of these old
macadam roads is badly worn, the
board reconstructs it by first placing
three or four inches of broken stone
on top of the old surface and rolling
it thoro !ghly. This stone is then COW
cred with heavy road oil, which Is
covered in turn with, sand, and then
the. road is rolled again. Chief En-
gineer Patterson says of this work:
eve felt that something must be done
to alleviate conditions, and we did
what we believed to be the only thing
we could do under the circumstances.
We have received many flattering
comments from the travelling public

WHAT IS NEEDED IN LOCAL
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS

/ If q business man handled his pri-
vate business in the way we have been
running our road business, he would
70 broke inside of a year. It is
lucky for us that we can't break the
taxpayers; for no matter how lax we
are, the money continues to come and
the taxpayers continue to pay. It is
not our serious and bounden duty to
spend this money wisely and in q
scientific and business-like manner?
In my county, we spent 500, 1000
on our roads and bridges, through our
highway commissioners, and as YET
I havae been unable to find out what
it actually costs each township year
to maintain it's wooden bridges and
culverts and its steel bridges, or what
it costs per mile per year to grade or
to drag roads. One township did
know what it cost to drag roads, viz:
$1.S5, which, however, represented
the total for the year spent for drag
ging; yet even there could not re-
duce it to mileage unit cost base.
The hardest job I have is to per-
suade some of our township officials
to keep an adequate set of books. I
have even been told by one commits
sioner that his township did not need
to keep books because everybody was
honest in that particular township. I
would pity this particular commis-
sioner if somebody accused him Of be-
ing dishonest and ehhad no records
to fall back on to prove his honesty.
This latter case actualaly happened
in anothertownship, where thorough
honest ann, a commissioner, was ac-
cused of paying out money to some
body for something that was not done,
and he had no record or receipt at all
from the man. IT..
I would like particularly to call
your attention to the fact that said
"to keep an adequate set of books"
Statistics and figures are all right,
but if they are not the rgiht kind of
statistics and figures, they are not
worth the paper they are written on.
For instance, I find that most of the
books simply show that John Jones or
Bill Smith had so many hors to their
credit for hand labor or team labor.
That tells US nothing. What the
people want to know is what John
Jones did with his shovel, or what
Bill Smith did with his team; how
long it took him to do it, and what it
sost to do that particular kind Of
work. This is what we call distribu-
ton Of accounts and unit costs
If you follow this kind of book
keeping you will soon find where the
leaks are. Take one example: Sup
pose we knew that we were spending
$500 a year patching up a lot OF
wheezy, descrepit, old wooden cul-
verts and bridges, and that when we
" were through sweating and patching
and spending, our $500 we still had
nothing, and that we were still lying

TALKING OVER ROAD PROBLEM

(By D. o. Thomas, highway superin-
tendent Of st. Clair County, In). K
Cooperation is one of the greatest
helps to success in roadbuilding, par
ticularly cooperation among the To-

very rapid extension Of the custom
of holding gatherings of local road
supervisors to talk over the problems
