TEN Of roads their value will depre-
clnte under ordinary circumstances
faster than new roads can be con-
mructed. 1t Is therefore essential that
after n road Is once built, great care
should he taken In It's upkeep. There
is no question that the cost Of proper
maintenance Is many times saved In
the increased economic value Of the
highway traffic.
Maintenance may be divided into
two general classes: First, the npkeep
Of roads which have been constructed
along standard line with minimum
grades, proper drainage and surfnc-
Ing material; second, the conditioning
Of roads that have had little, II any,
constructive attention.
Highways coming under the first
class are not so liable to be neglected
by those entrusted with their care.
and while their maintenance problem
is Il very important and necessary one,
this class Of roads represents only II
lesser portion. The greater percent
age Of roads In the state are not i'm
proved. Inasmuch as this class Of
roads serve the majority OF the people
and this kind Of road will always pre-
dominate, 1t Is very necessary that at
tention be directed to proper ways and
means of their maintenance.
Each year more or less construction
work Is being done and the mileage Of
improved roads increased, and while
this work Is going on the unimproved
roads should be kept In rs good condi-
ton MS possible at minimum cost.

tanned by the enthusiasm and local
pride of the man who uses the road.
He Is the fellow most interested, and
small amount of intelligent atten-
ton by himself and his neighbors will
show great results on their particular
section of the road.
This rule applied throughout the
length and breadth of any state would

could be pointed to with pride.
