The work has been placed on a
thoroughly tusinesslike basis under tho
county engineer. Detail reports Of
what has been done in each district
preserved In such way that any un-
usual expense is Immediately indicated
and can receive the attention of the
county officials, and experiments are
being made with typos OF construction
which It is hoped will prove more
economical than gravel for roads carry
ing considerable traffic. The results Of
tho system have been so satisfactory
that the county has voted to spend
$5S0,o6u on gravel roads and $4,000
on moro permanent types.
COST OF SURVEYING
ROADS ~ ENGINEERS
A fear that engineering services will
run into large sums of money has pro-
vented many highway boards from en-
ployinG engineers ut the outset OF road
work. 1t Is particularly desirable for
engineers to be engaged before any
work Is definitely determined. because
In many cases II Is impossible for them
to rectify errors OF Judgment made
in laying out improvements by boards
before the help Of specialists was
sought. Since 1919 the State Highway
Department of Illinois has made over
400 preliminary surveys of roads under
conditions which made the cost rather
high. Tho roads were generally short
sections and entirely disconnected. so
that the cost Of taking men to and from
these sections was large In proportion
to the amount Of work done. The pur-
pose of the survey in each case was to
locate a center line for the proposed
road. to locate all the features OF tho
country affecting the proper position
OF the road. to take cross-sections Of
the ground along the route. and to OBJ
tain all information concerning drain
ing and grade conditions. Some of tho
surveys were made In prairie land and
some in rough country. Nearly 100
miles Of road were surveyed in all Mt
nm average cost OF $3.50 per mile.
The average rate OF survey was 0.S4
mile per day and the average length
Of each survey was ass miles. AS q
rule the work was done by two en-
Eineers paid 81 a day. three helpers at
$3.50 team at SO and incidentals for
transportation, board, lodging and sup
plies bringing the total cost per day
to nearly s25. This Is Of course. loss
than the cost Of the work would be
for only few miles surveyed by a
private engineer, for no allowance is
made for office expenses and profit.
The figures are good indication, how
ever, Of the small cost Of tho prelimt-
nary engineering work which should
always be done before road improve
ments are started. The proper location
of n road will not only give better
drainage and easier grading, but Will
result in n considerable reduction IN the
cost of construction, because an en-
eineer Is able to locate line in such
n way that the amounts OF excava-
ton and embankment are reduced to
a minimum consistent with salts

FRANKLIN PLANT
CANNOT PRODUCE
ENOUGHMACHINES

Two huHdred and fifty per cent in
crease in production Of Franklin cars
finds the Franklin Automobile Com
pany, Syracuse, n. Y, even farther
6 from supplying the demand than be-
fore the added facilities were install
cd. In midsummer. cars were being
built at the rate OF 1000 per year.
With the announcement Of Series at
about that time IL was made known
that buildings then under construc-
ton would socn make II possible to
build lC,000 cars a year. With some
OF these buildings already in use. cars
are coming through the plant at the
rate Of $50 q week and the 10,0OO-per-
year schedule will be in full swing by
February I.
II Is seemingly impossible, however,
TO build the new series cars fast
enough to supply dealers require
ments. Although dealers allotments
for spring and summer delivery have
not yet been scheduled, over 1900 Or
ders, signed by the purchasers, are
already entered for cars, to be deliy-
cred after March /. These orders abb
serb production until late April or
early May and more orders are piling
up; the demand Is still gaining on the
supply. Some dealers are already
speaking for cars for delivery between
September 1917 and March 1918.
One peculiar feature Of the override
mand is that great many people are
buying enclosed cars for late spring
delivery. The Franklin Sedan and
Brougham, new V-front, enclosed
models designed for touring and gen.
eral year-'round use. are proving pop.
ular So pronounced IS this popular
fly that the Franklin Company has de-
cided to build enclosed cars the year
around, regardless Of season. This
upsets the established idea that en-
closed cars are for winter use only
and would seem 70 indicate that peo-
pie are beginning 10 prefer enclosed
cars to the open types, This is Ger.
tain result when the advantages Of the
enclosed body are combined with con.
struction that keeps the operating
cost down to a reasonable figure and
does not smother easy riding qualities
with excess weight. .
Another firmly intrenched idea is
also disturbed--the supposed Difficult.
~ Of selling and delivering cars in
the winter time. The absence of
freezing dangers may make the Frank.
lin easier TO sell In cold weather than
most cars, but Il is very noticeable
that motorists are more and more
using their cars right through the
year.

FEDERAL TRUCK
Will BE USED
ASPATHFINDER

J. F. Bowman, director OF sales or
the Federal Motor Truck Company. an
nounces that a Federal truck has been
especially equipped by the California
State Automobile Association. and will
be used in marking and scouting roads
III the coast states.
This latest addition to the eXtens-
i've equipment Of the association IS
especially equipped for long distant
travel over desert roads" said Mr.,
Bowman.
On the running boards by the drlV-
ers seat are two large tanks holding
more than 40 gallons, one for gaso-
line and the other for water. third
tank is extended from the frame on
the left side OF the truck. 1t will
carry five gallons Of surplus oil.
With this equipment the truck will
be able to travel from 400 to 600
miles without adding fuel or water an
indispensable feature for a car to be
used in the work this one will be
asked to do, for most of its travels
will he through the mountains, over
deserts, seeking roads little known
and little used, charting and marking
them and reporting their condition to
the motorists of the state.
Its work during the next year will
include marking as many of the I'M
marked highways and connecting roads
OF Northern California and Nevada
that it is possible to cover in that
length of time 1t will be one of the
most important events for the Califor'
mia Association campaign for better
roads and better markings"

such pleading language, indi-
Gates, beyond a doubt, its own
inherent weakness.
To these evidences of de-
generation we must also add
the weakness springing from
the fact that a counter-revolu-
ton is threatening, and also
that the present government of
Russia is far from being in ac-
cord, or even ON really good
terms with its nominal allies.
Only the other day Italy took
the position that the time had
come to demand OF the Russian
government a clear statement
OF its intentions, and now
Mr.. Kerensky makes the ex-
plicit statement that the gov
eminent has Internationally
forbidden Russian troops to
take part" in the overrunning
or Greece by Russian allies,
and the further direct and SEN
sationally important statement
that Russia is following an in
dependent foreign policy"
Assuming this to be true, it
follows that Russia is no longer
an ally Of her former partners
in the war, since the aims and
objects, which she is pursuing
in the war, are not those Of
Italy, France or Great Britain,
and if these aims are no longer
no military action can
be common either.
Looking at the whole situa-
Ition between Russia and her
allies broadly, it does
not seem at all impossible that
this divergence Of policy may
ultimately widen into a positive
breach, and that finally Russia
will find herself the enemy Of
her former friends, though this
docs not mean that she win
find herself the friend of her
former enemies necessarily. This
actual breach win be greatly
FASTENED in its coming if the
Allies attempt in any way to
apply coercion to either the
Russian government or to the
Russian people, as has BEEN
suggested by Italy.

The effort, says the Chicago
Tribune, to pass bone dry legis-
lation may perhaps be taken as
typical Of the war attitude that
seems to peryade official Wash
ington. This attitude is much
less concerned with our main
DEMONSTRATING men into the
held-than with reforming our
moral habits. The reformers
are using the war as an excuse
to put their ideas into opera
ton, and their lobby is working
overtime to devise restraints for
erring human beings.
To make people good by pro-
hibitory laws is always a sorry
business. Blue laws are usually
bad because they make every
body blue. We are likely to
