Rev. c. r. Brown presented the flag

work done to secure this flag by the

that the Kaiser would be given blow
that would send him to his own place.

One chief source of road deteriora-
tion is the tendency of traffic to fol-
low constant line of travel, which
wears and dcprcsses the road crown
along this line of continuous use. The
entire road surface, including the
shoulders, at least in dry weather,
should be used with the view of avoid
ing az much as possible this objec-
tionable propensity. Thus will our
roads wear evenly, prevent to great
extent the inclination to drop in hole:
or ruts, which obstruct proper drain
age and cause water to soak into the
road, greatly to its injury. We are all
aware how important and expensive
feature is the maintenance of our
good roads; let us apply willingly,
therefore, since it is to our interest, if
for no other reason, one of the RENE
dies for their economical use.
Respectfully,
G.. A. MARTIN,
County Road Engineer.
