IMPROVED
ROADS
IMPROVEMENT OF DIRT ROADS
Time to Find Out in Aiding construe.
ton by Giving Attention to
Neglected Highways.

Improvement Of the present net
work Of common or dirt roads, aggre-
eating many hundred thousand miles.
IS urged by M. c. KrarUp, a consulting
engineer, as the next step In the bet
ter roads movement.
According to authoritative informa-
tion," says Mr.. Krarup in Forbes
Magazine, "a national program for
completing in all 10000 miles Of fine
road within 20 years is practically GER
tain Of being carried out. Phenomenal
growth of motortruck and omnibus
service has thereby at the same time
been assured, If the business organiza-
ton required for the best utilization Of
these vehicles keeps pace with the
yearly Increase In road facilities. This
much assured, and guaranteeing a IA
vorable development, it must now be
time to find out how much more may
be done If the possibilities of the neg
lected dirt roads are also looked into
Systematically by the business mind
and the engineer.
Common roads, If not all sand, will
support and afford traction for any
load, if surface and subgrade are both
perfectly dry. The wheels need not
be wider than for similar loads on
highly improved roads. If the road is
drained and high enough above the
ground water, the required height de-
pending on the drainage conditions Of
the surrounding country, the subgrade
will always remain dry, and the sur
face, while 1t will be wet and perhaps
soft or slippery after rain. will dry
quickly. and will not suffer from wash
outs. Thus, thorough draining Is the
first need of a common road. If such
draining has been effected, all upkeep
cost Is reduced and all subsequent i'm
provement of the road surface can be
made effective and lasting without re.
survey and regarding, whenever such
improvement Is wanted"

ROAD DRAGGING RULES

1. Use light drag, hauled at
an angle to the road so that a
small amount of earth may be
hauled to the center of the road.
2. Drive at walk and watch
the condition of the road ahead
Of the drag so that you may cor
rect the faults.
8. Always ride the drag. do
not walk.
4. Begin on the outside and
return on the opposite unless
the road is peaked and needs
f1attening.
5. Don't sleep on the drag;
the result will prove your worth.
6. Fill all the perceptible ruts
before they are deepened.
T. Cut the humps to a level
section.
8. If the drag cuts too deep,
shorten the hitch and vice versa.
9. The amount of earth car
ried along by the drag and the
nicely in cutting and filling are
controlled by the driver.
10. To make drag cut deep
er the driver should throw his
weight upon the one foot near
the cutting or forward corner of
the drag.
II. The drag will cut less
deeply as the drivers weight is
shifted toward the rear and op-
posite corner Of the drag.
IL. If the front rail becomes
clogged with weeds or If it Is de-
sired to deposit the load in a
hole, the driver should quickly
shift his weight to the farther
corner of the drag.
10. The earth dug up by the
forward cutting corner of the
drag should be gradually worked
toward the center of the road
and shifted under the forward
rail.
IA. The rear rail should be set
Slightly leaning so as to trowel
the surface smoothly.
10. The angle of the drag with
the road and the length of the
hitch are dependent upon local
conditions and materials, but are
quickly noticed by an intelligent
driver.
