MATERIALS FOR ROAD
DEPENDS UPON THE
CHARACTER OF TRAFFIC

Professor House of the Col
orado Agricultural College is
one of the best known engin-
GERS in Colorado. He has been
head of the Civil Engineer de-
partment at that College for
several years and has always
been in close contact with the
affairs of the state. In speak
ing to q representative of this
paper about roads, Professor
House says:
"A great deal of agitation is
being carried on at the pres
ent time, concerning the con-
struction of concrete roads for
Colorado. That some of our
roads should be paved in this
way. there is no question, but /
think we should carefully
guard against over doing the
matter. In order to be justifi-
able, road improvements must
return in economic and social
benefits an amount at least ca.
ual to the interest, deprecia-
ton and maintainence. ovsr

road.

A pool of this nature has
been in operation in Saguache
for some time and has been
highly successful. Last year,
the members of this organiza.
tion met just previously to
shearing and agreed upon a
minimum price which they
would be willing to accept for
their wool. They then invited
several of the large woodland
ling concerns to send in sealed
bids, four bids being received.
The highest bid, three cents a.
bove the minimum agreed upon
by the producers, bought the
wool. This year, Center is fig
uring on pooling with Saguache
and Del Norte should ask to be
taken in; Monte Vista wool
growers should follow suit /;
thus presenting a solid front
from this part of the Valley.
With well up toward a million
pounds of wool to bid upon, we
could offer something attract
i've to the largest handlers of
this product.
Last year in the Del Norte
section, it is stated, only one

the fact that some of the pro
