by the state highway department
and it will be perpetually maintained
by the state, without cost or CON
sideration by the county, frorn this
time forward. A maintenance or
ganization for the project is to be
organized at once by Engineer Cage.
This announcement is in line with
new program worked out by the
state highway department, under

the plan are announced by Engineer
Cage in a statement authorized by
the state department:
Mr.. Caye's Statement.
The statement given out by Mr.
Caye follows;
All road projects forming part
of the state highway system are to
be taken over for maintenance by
the state highway department.
Whether such project was built by
a combination of county, state and
federal funds, or by a county alone,
or by the state alone, will make no
difference. If it is a part of the
state highway system, the state high
way department will maintain it.
"Twenty-six projects have been
completed, and eighty miles of these
have been taken over for mainten-
ance already The balance will be
taken over shortly The other coun-
ties where systematic and scientific
has already been COM
menced are Spalding, Henry, Clay
ton, Walton, Hall, Macon, Coweta,
Meriwether, Troup, Douglas, Bib,
Jackson, Wilkes.
at is the plan of the state high
way department to make its main
tenance of state highway system
roads a model for the benefit of the
counties in the maintenance of their
roads. AS is well known, one of
the main factors in the creation of
good roads is the factor of mainten-
ance. No matter how expensive
construction may be, it's life is great
ly shortened by the lack of constant,
systematic and scientific mainten-
ance.
Sand Clay Roads.
"On sand clay roads there will be
a patrolman for three to eight miles
of road, depending upon the particu-
lar Requirements of traffic, rainfall,
etc. The patrolman will
be a reliable man who lives about
the center of his section of road. He
will be equipped with wagon, a
drag, a dump scraper, set of dou
hleJ harness, and complete outfit of
tools. He ,will furnish his own
mules. His duties will consist of
the following:
ITO drag the road after every rain ;
to clean out culverts and drains; to
cut brush and weeds out of the right
of-way; to keep bitches opened; to
fill holes and washes; to replace
sand and clay when necessary; to
renew the whitewash on telephone
n0'ee. and other objects along the
road; to repair signs, etc.
Concrete roads will be patroled
by a gang consisting of a foreman
and four or five men. They Will
cover longer sections of road than
the sand clay patrolmen as they can
travel and work faster. Each con-
crete repair outfit or maintenance
crew will be equipped with NINA
ture concrete mixing and pouring
outfit, a small automobile truck, and
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-12-07

complete set of tools. They will
keen the sand clay shoulders of the
road at proper grade with holes and
washes filled, keep the expansion
joints III good repair, fill the holes
with new concrete where necessary,
and III general keep the right of way
clear and clean. Maintenance
crews on bituminous macadam roads
will be equipped with complete ouj
fit for mixing and pouring bitumin
Gus macadam.
Easy to Recognize.
State highway system roads viii
be easy to recognize by their gen.
eral maintenance and upkeep. Tele-
phone poles, tree trunks and sign
posts along the roads will be white
washed and renewed at frequent in
tervals to keep them white. This
will make a road easy to follow day
or night. Entertainments and bridge
approaches will be protected by
guard rails which will be whitewash-
ed. Culvert and bridge headwalls
also will be whitewashed
Every railroad crossing, road in
tersection, steep grade and bridge
will be designated by signs 800 feet
distance on both approaches. The
signs will be on the right of the
road where they will meet the
drivers eye. They will be painted in
red letters on white background,
as they are intended for warnings.
Every road intersection will be
equipped with direction signs to aid
the traveller in keeping the right
road. These signs will have arrows
pointing in both directions of the
state highway and naming the prin-
cipal terminal points in both direct
tons. In addition to these intersec-
ton signs, the telephone poles along
every state highway will be stenciled
with a acknowledged sign with
black letters on white background.
There will be a stencil sign on every
fifth pole.
Will Prolong Roads Life.
Systematic and scientific main
tenance will prolong the life of paved
roads to the maximum, and will keep
sand clay road if dragged after ev-
ery condition in all kinds of wealth
er. A sand clap road if dragged af-
ter every rain soon packs very hard
so CnaG WaSnOuC are reduced 10
minimum and traffic can move right
along after a heavy rain has fallen.
The complete system of signs, desig
nations and danger signals outlined
above should enable traveller on a
statehighway to make good travelling
time either day or night, without any
stops to inquire his way and with ac-
cidents almost impossible if the dan
ger warnings are observed"

Pretty Stenog Must Go

ATLANTA, Dec. Z. - You have

if your wife insists upon it. There s
no use to argue for Friend Wife

If you keep that pretty blonde at
your typewriter any longer. in the
face of your wife's objections, it is
cruel treatment in tle eyes of the
law-cruel to the wife, not to the
