PREPARES PAPER
For Engineers Convention
Held in Bowling

URGES SAFETY FIRST" AND

Building.
URGES SAFETY FIRST" AND

County Judge Jno. b. Wilson was
honored with an invitation to read
a paper before the recent County
Road Engineers Convention at Bowl
ing Green. The invitation being ac-
copied the following was prepared
by Judge Wilson and read before the
assembly. Many complimentary re-
marks were heard regarding the
paper.
THE transition from no roads at
all in the early days of our country,
like the transition of all other de-
partments of civilization, while grad
ual has been wonderful when it is
considered that no nation or people
make improvements until necessity
demands-if it does not compel
the same.
"In the days when time was the
greatest asset of man and land was
known only to be hunted over, except
the small patches that formed mans
habitation, and most of the inland
transportation was conducted on
horse back and strong mems should
ers like peddler's pack, it was no
burden to the citizen to take his
ak in his hand and make his road
as he went; and If he found the
streams swollen by sudden freshets
il was no burden for him to sit and
wait until the clouds rolled by and
the waters receded so he might pro-
coed TRANQUILITY on his journey. But
as civilization marched along, the
question of inland transportation and
intercourse between nelghborhoods
and counties became more import
ant. There came into use the sled
and OK cart, and still man got by as
best he could. by waiting until the
creeks ran down and making his
roads along the line of least resist
ance. But time passed on. and civ
uization accelerated her passing and
mans time gradually became valu-
able and in fact his most valuable
asset. and then "he got busy" and

etc., and make them as near per-
manent as it is possible for them to
do with the means at hand, and this
leads us to inquire what sort of
bridges should be built.
GAS above stated, the white oak,
the only timber to he relied on as a
bridge builder, is gone from our
midst, and we have in this country
no more timber of any durability and
even that which we have is demand
ed for the construction of homes,
etc., to the extent that it can hardly
he said that it is within reasonable
reach of the bridge builder.
Observation mas taught me that
the average life of the character of
oak floor that we get for bridges in
these days does not exceed five years,
and | think it safe to say that the
average bridge built out of such
timber as we are able to obtain in
this day and time will not last with
any degree of safety, with the de-
manfs that traffic make upon it, ex-
oeeding eight years as a unit. So
the question of finding a substitute
for timber and at the same time
making step toward permanency
in tine building and maintaining Of
our roads and bridges, confronts us
and like all who undertake to inves-
tigate, we look everywhere and are
attracted to that which seems best
And while it is an impossibility with
the means at hand to build all of
our small bridges and culvert5 of
concrete, ii is my opinion that in
the long run, the cheapest bridge
or culvert that can be made Is oou-
crete, and while i do not believe that
reinforcement is a necessity in small
culverts, say four by six, and under,
over that size think reinforcement
of the best steel to be had is neces-
sary to guarantee the permanency of
the work. | am of the opinion that
within reach of most of the places
where small culverts should be made,
plenty of branch gravel and sand
can be found that will prove entirely
satisfactory and last for generations
to, come. Especially do l think this
is true where a culvert can be located
so as to have two to four feet OF
earth or macadam over the top.
When the construction is required to
go over six feet, am a firm believer
in reinforcement with the best steel
to be had, and / also believe that the
responsibility of both the engineer
and workmen become greater. | be-
lieve further that the concrete bridge
or any bridge for that matter, should
be so placed that the undersurface
of the superstructure should be ON
a level with the general grade of the
road and then the grade raised OIL
each side of the bridge from one to
two hundred feet in length so as to
make the approach easy, and then
when the waters come the bridge,
whether II be of concrete, iron or
wood, would serve its specific and on

became a vital one, and along the
line tY vitality to the community,
the ~unty, the State and the Ma
ton. t has grown and is growing
more so every day. The OK cart
and the sled and the pack have been
supplanted by the buggy and wagon,
the traction engine and all the high
powered species of locomotion, which
require and demand safety in their
flight over our land and country.
Necessity speaks to man and says:
1--WE can't wait until the creeks and
rivers run down; we can't wait on
the slow moving ferry, we must have
bridges" So man~began taking the
timber nearest at hard which would
best serve his purpose and from
that day to this our property, and
our lives and the lives of our loved
ones have been entrusted to the
strength of the old wooden bridge.
Necessity still speaks to man and
when he looks about his one time,
tried and true friend, the white oak,
has disappeared and gone the way of
all the earth, and left man to find
a substitute for it in the building
of his bridges of not only the pres
ent day and time but for the safety
and comfort of future generations.
In building a bridge, the first
thought that should enter the mind
of the engineer who plans it, should
be the absolute security of all who
go upon it and the engineer who
carelessly plans, or the workman
who carelessly constructs, bridge
that it may fall and cause the de-
struction of property or loss of life,
is, in my estimation, the same sort
of a murderer he would be were he
to load his gun and waylay and
shoot down his fellow man, or dyna-
mite his house and kill him and his
loved ones; and even though he
plans or constructs ignorantly, his
ignorance is criminal and therefore
he is a murderer nevertheless.
"The construction of bridges and
culverts was once an innovation, and
like all other innovations, il never
ceases to grow. The first commun-
ity that constructed a bridge or cul-
vert was looked upon either in favor
or disfavor by its fellows. If in
favor, as the case is, every one cop
les after him, and the Fiscal Court
who builds a bridge that makes the
road better between the home of
John Jones and his school, church,
postoffice and county seat, must nat
urally expect to build one under like
for Brown, Smith and all
the others.
ut is almost an impossibility to
build a permanent bridge or culvert
where ever needed on all of the
roads of all the counties in the State,
but it should be the highest duty
and pleasure of those having control
OF such things to select the road hav-
ing the greatest amount of traffic.
