that the water may be conducted to
some point where it may be turned
off from the road. The accompanying
figures show typical cross sections for
earth side bitches. The cross section
shown in the first figure Is suitable for
steep grades where the depth of water
in the side bitches must be kept low In
order to prevent washing Of the soil.
The second figure shows modified
section which gives a greater capacity
for the same widths of ditch than the
cross section shown in the preceding
figure but which can be employed only
on comparatively fiat grades If wash
ing Is to be prevented. Figure shows
a cross section adapted especially to
fiat grades where n considerable vol
ume of water must be carried. bitches
of the cross sections shown in figures
l and 2 have the advantage in that
they may be constructed with an or
binary road grader, which Is not true
of the section shown in figure 3.
8. Where it Is impracticable to con-
struct side bitches that will carry the
required amount of water without
washing, paved cutters should be en-
ployed.
4. If the material composing the
roadbed consists Of springy earth, some
form Of undertakings Is essential. A
line Of farm tile laid to proper grade
under each side ditch Is, in general, the
most satisfactory way of securing ade-
quate undertakings. Either four-inch
or six-lnch tile is employed for this
purpose.
s. Culverts or bridges should be con-
