TO MEET GOOD ROADS BONDS
Maintenance and Repair of State
improved Highways.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In most states the motor-vehic1e
revenues are devoted to the mainte-
nance and repair of the state roads
or other improved highways. These
states thus seem TO have solved fairly
well the knotty problem of how to
secure sufficient funds to maintain the
more important roads under the ever
increasing traffic requirements. AS
both the traffic and. the revenues in
crease with the number of cars, there
exists a possibility of so adjusting the
registration rates as to keep pace with
the ever-growing maintenance charges.
Recently, however, "a movement to
capitalize the motor-vehicle revenues

EARTH ROADS IN CONDITION
Drainage Is Chief Essential in Putting
Earth Roads in Proper Shape
Drag Must Be Used.

1t can be truthfully said that drain
age Is the chief essential in putting
earth roads into proper condition. An
old Scotchman, an expert road builder,
aptly said that the three requirements
of good earth roads are, drainage, more
drainage, and still more drainage. e.
w. Lehman of the University of Mis-
souri, college Of agriculture indorses
this sentiment and adds: Roads must
not only have good surface drainage
but must also have good underdrain-
age. Surface drainage is secured by
proper grading, adequate side bitches,
and by keeping the crown of the road
properly dragged. Stretches of road
that do not dry out quickly must be
underdrained by tile.
The drag must be used after each
rain, if the best results are to be Sc
cured Don't go on the road while too
muddy, let it dry out slightly; it should
be wet enough, however, so it will not
crumble, but smear. When properly
used, the drag brings q thin layer of
earth toward the center of the road
which is rolled and packed between
wet periods. If too much crown is Sc
cured by dragging, the angle of the
drag should be reversed.
Getting the earth roads graded,
bitches open, well drained, and prop
erly crowned by dragging is about all
that can be done until the people are
ready to surface the road with gravel,
broken stone or some other surfacing
material.
