CURRENT COMMENT
A ROAD SERMON

| have been driving sand roads
twice a day for the past few
weeks and Pm here to certify that
sand is about the meanest problem
there is in road maintenance.
Wet clay is mean and treacher-
Gus, dust with rocks sticking
through is brutal, washboard is
eXasperating, new gravel is dis
heartening, wet oil is unspeakable,
but for all-season cussedness and
danger-if you like-give me sand.
Most roads get a little better as
they dry out after a rain. The
most depraved and drainless dirt
dries out finally and, ruts and all,
is passable, but sand merely gets
worse the drier it is, and when it's
wet, it is about as deceptive as wet
clay.
If they've dragged that East
Clarendon sand once this summer
they've dragged it fifty times, land
| think dragging or scrapping
makes it a little worse. Worst of
all is that "they amt no remedy"
except rebuilding it from the hard
pan, because ordinary gravel sur
face is just simply chewed up,
hammered down and the fine sand
gradually works to the top and
makes the whole mess as bad as
ever.
Why dangerous? Just take you
eye off the road for a second when
you happen to be drilling along in
a pair of those despicable sand
ruts, hit the sides of the ruts and
see where you land.-Hindley IN
Rutland Herald.
