HOLES IN ROADS
BY Rodman Wiley.

A road 10 the means Of trans
poraton and upon the condition
Of the surface depends the cost
Of transporting materials. A
great many people think that
when q road 10 once built that It
will stand for all time and do
efficient work without any re-
psirs. but such 10 not the case.
Railroads, rivers, harbors and
canals are patrolled. and in IS
much ~ the highways are sub
jected to more severe traffic
than either Of the above, it
stands to reason that they shoul6
receive constant attention. Be.
sides II the road 10 not smooth
not only is the cost Of handling
increased but vehicles ere caus.
Cd TO deteiorate most rapidly.
Consider for example q large
hole in the road. Everyone
knows that when automobiles,
wagons and buggits pass over
holes that considerable damage
10 done. Suppose that the dam
age to an automobile is only one
cent and that there were one
hundred automobiles over the
road in q day.
The damage to the automo.
biles alone from that one hole 10
one day is $l.0O. Suppose there
are fifty such holes to the mile
Of road. Then the damage
would be $4,000 per day or 81.
500 per month and for twelve
months in the year the damage
to the automobiles alone passing
over a mile, Of such road would
be SIS. 900, which is a sufficient
sum Of money to build in its en-
tirety a mile Of road and use an
excellent grade of materials. II
might not be necessary to re.
build the road and in that even,
it certainly should be maintained.
1t would seem to me that 1t il
now high time that steps be tax.
en- to at least see that all the
holes in the roads are kept filled.
One way should be to appoint
patrolman on all the main roads
in the county.
cannot believe that we will
very much longer be willing tc
see each day thousands Of dol
lars worth of damage done tC
property. The proposition !:
worth serious thought.

No; it will not be used very often,
yet there are times
An American unit Of engineers
(railway) was hauling ammunition

face of one of the German drives this
year
At the height of things when the
Hun was coming over in force and ad-
vancing in way which meant the loss
of anything that could not be moved
promptly a $4,000 locomotive jumped
the track.
Sergt. George Robertson, in charge,
watched the battle for a moment,
looked at his steam gauge, screwed the
safety valve down tight, turned the
oil fuel reserve supply into the fire
box, and then effected a solitary and
successful retreat.
Half an hour later some sixty Ger
mans were standing about the strand

hoped for-blew up.
