KEEP ROADS OPEN IN WINTER
Federal Highway Commission Sug-
eests That Special Efforts Be
Made by State Officials.

II Is suggested by the federal high
way council that state and county
highway departments make a special
effort to keep the roads clear Of snow
during the winter months and thus
permit Of uninterrupted traffic. The
transportation OF certain commodities
Is really more important during the
winter than in summer and 1t is then
that the roads are more difficult TO
pass over. Then, too. the rural mail
must be carried whether roads are
good or bad, and when the snow drifts
several feet deep over the roads the
life of the rura! mail carrier is any
thing but pleasant As the snow melts
II transforms many roads into mire
that IS almost impossible. On any
road. no matter how good, there is
tendency for the melting snow TO soft
en- the subgrade and loosen the base
under the wearing surface, thus caus-
ing great damage TO the road.
Road officials could do nothing bet
ter than TO keep their equipment busy
in the winter removing the snow from
the road surfaces. II is one form of
maintenance work that is very essen
tial In lengthening the life and use
fulncss of the highways.

has consistently followed this prac-
tlce. The originally improved roads
in Maryland were comparatively in
expensive. costing only what the tax
payers were willing 10 pay for. The
first few years the average cost was
less than $4,000 n mile. In some
cases the work entailed considerable
grading and drainage, but In others
IT amounted simply to resurfacing the
old turnpikes, which had already
been graded and drained
Generally the roads built at that
time were macadam, - feet wide
and six inches thick. Soon the width
was increased TO If feet. Later many
were widened still farther. some very
successfully. by adding concrete shoul-
ders on each side Of the existing
macadam. This method Of improving
roads makes 1t possible for traffic 10
continue unimpeded on the road while
the work is going on.
The macadam roads in Maryland
have given very good satisfaction. but
continuous care has been largely re.
sponsible for their success. The roads
are constantly p0trolled and no hole
of any size is allowed to go unre-
paired. Material for patching is kept
at convenient points along the road
for the use Of the patrolman. From
relatively small investment in an adj
mittedly low-type road ii builds m a
better one from year to year, always

investment.
