demand Of the county and the loca-
tion traffic Of the road seemed to
Justify IT. Mr.. Watson maintains
that the earth shoulder win fall into
disuse in a short time. He had at
first decided that the paved portion
must be built in the middle of the
road but Engineer Riddle and the
farmers finally won in getting It
placed on one side with a dirt road
10 feet wide adjoining. The culverts
will be 30 feet wide.
The other point pertains to expan-
sion. County Engineer Riddle recon-
mends the use of expansion joints
transverse to the pavement and at
intervals of 1888 feet. Mr.. Watson
quotes authority against the use Of
the joints in other states and recon-
mends the elimination of joints in
this county's pavements. 1t is hoped
that such work win not require pro-
vision for expansion for it adds to
the first expense and to the main
tenance of the road.
