HIGHWAY BOARD
PLANS FOR ROADS
Revenue In Excess OF Expenditures
Making $l,O36,OOO Available

At meeting at Dover of the State
Highway Commissioners, bids were
received for truck scales, police sub
stations and cross road signs. A dele
cation from Claymont asked that con-
crete walks be laid along the Phila-
delphia Pike, especially for the safety
of children going to and from school.
The Commission promised to give the
matter consideration.
The lowest bid for truck scales was
that of the Delaware Electric Com
pany of Wilmington, $1,000; then
came that of w. M. Newton of Dover,
S1,SO6; that of D. M. Fontana from
Wilmington, was $1,345.
w. M. Newton's bid was the lowest
for the erection of a police sub-sta-
ton at Dover, the sum being 1914;
while George and Lynch of Dover, bid
$3.50 on this contract. A bid of $1,000
for a frame sub-station at Whining
ton and $2,250 for a cinder concrete
block sub-station was presented by
George and Lynch of Dover.
Bids for 600 cross road signs were
received and the lowest was that of
the Union Iron Products Company,
$2.S5 each, f. o. b., Chicago; R. L.
Heyde of Dover. bid $2.55 each at Do
yer and M. A. Hartnett, 1925 each at
Dover.
The budget was presented and
adopted. 1t shows an estimate income
of $705,000 and an estimate expendi-
ture of $692,435 and an excess reve-
nue. of $72,565 which warrants an is
suance of bonds to the amount of ST.
096,O00. The counties will have suf-
ficient money to match it and there
will be Federal aid available to the
amount of 1865 ,00O.

INFLUENCE OF SURFACE
ON POWER REQUIRED
Tractive Effort Experiments Condemn
Earth Roads

That the surface of the road has
much to do with the~amounr of effort
required to move a wheeled vehicle
and to keep it moving is well known;
just what these various efforts are
has been determined by a series of ex-
periments conducted by the Horse
Owners Association of America, by
means of testing apparatus invented
by Mr.. E. V. Collins, of the State
Agricultural College, at Ames, Iowa.
According to these experiments, a
given load of 400 pounds was start
ed by a team of horses on a level
brick surface by a 200 pounds pull
while the same load on an asphalt
surface required 300 pounds pull and
a good cinder and dirt surface need
ed $40 pounds pull. A concrete road
allowed the team to start the load
with a pull of 1875 pounds.
The experiments further demon
strated that the Character" of the
horses involved had something to do
with the ability of team to pull a
load, since a small team of bronchos,
weighing nearly five hundred pounds
less than other teams Of larger horses,
were able, apparently through game
ness, to start and pull larger loads
thanthei competitors.

POWER AND ROADS
ARE RELATED
Electrified Farms TO Follow Highways


The proposed Giant power system"
of Pennsylvania and tho "Superpower
system" of The Atlantic seaboard, have
an intimate relation with highway de-
velopment, which the proponents of
such systems are now considering as
of very great importance.
Hard roads offer a solution to this
problem of the development of rural
power lines which are 10 be under
ground, since such cOnduits naturally
follow the hard roads for many rea-
sons; the needs of easy access for re-
pairs and additions, and the growing
necessity to light the highways being
among the greatest. The engineering
problem is now in process of solution
in road and electrical laboratories.
The farmer is demanding electric
power, and with reason, for statistics
show that he can be supplied at a
price which is wholly an economic
possibility.
Governor Pinchot, in an article on
the subject of the giant power survey
for Pennsylvania, notes that In On
tario. where the Canadians have eX-
pended more than $20O,0OO,0OO in
utilizing Niagaras water power, the
Government finds it possible to sup
ply current to farms at rates which
are making it's introduction quite gen
eral throughout the province. This
power is used for domestic purposes
cooking, cleaning, washing, and
ironing-and for purely farm pur-
poses, such as milking, churning,
pumping, and thrashing.
There was a time not so long ago
when the farmers ideal was to own a
homestead free of mortgage. He is
no longer satisfied with that. He
knows that the country can not pros
per unless he prospers. He feels that
he and his wife and children are en-
titled to as many of the advantages of
modern life as the folks who live in
the city. He wants to have his farm
as fully equipped with labor-saving
machinery as the best modern factory.
He wants to be able to use his brains
for something better than chores. He
wants to share in the benefits of the
electrical age. He and his wife want
an electrically equipped farm. And
nothing is more certain than that in
the end he is going to have it."

ROADS MAINTAINED BY
COUNTY COOPERATION
One Solution of Keeping Highway in
Condition

Counties in Wisconsin took over
the maintenance of their roads on
May 1, 1918. The State commissioner
established nine divisions in the
States, each having about eight coun-
ties. A resident engineer is in charge
of each division, under him a ,orps of
assistants, who maintain, mark, and
sign their territory, visit the patrol
men twice a month, and report each
visit by card to the main Office. In
1922 the commission at Madison re-
ceived reports of 10,940 visits. Three
members Of the county board super
wise road work, and a county high
way commissioner is also elected to
have charge of all road construction
and maintenance work in his county.
The patrolmen enter into written
contracts with the county and put I'D
a $500 bond as guarantee of service
and good care of tools and machinery
furnished by the county.
Wisconsin has both team patrol and
motor truck or tractor patrol. For
the team patrol the patrolmen fur
nish team and wagon, and the coun-
ty furnishes light-blade grader, a
road plane, pillow, slip scraper, and
other necessary small tolls. On the
motor patrols all equipment is fur
nished by the county. Sections cared
for by team patrols average six and
three-quarters mile, and the patrol
men work from April first to Deem
Der first for $140-$165 per month. Be-
tween December first and April first
patrolmen agree to work when re-
quested, at fixed price per hour.
Motor truck and tractor patrols cost
the counties on the average about
$110 per month each.
The Wisconsin system is the result
of Investigations which the commits
sion carried on in other States regard
ing satisfactory systems of road main
tenance, and for practical methods Of
improving ordinary town roads which
had heretofore been under the care of
a township director with wide terri
tory, limited time, and more limited
money. Wisconsin's total mileage on
all classes of highways is $4,000.
When the county maintenance work
was commenced, 255 miles were con-
crete, 1,775 miles stone macadam,
1850 gravel and $4,000 miles earth.
Under the county maintenance system
each county owns much of its own
road maintaining equipment, and en-
joysb etter roads with less expendi-
ture of time and money. Many inn
provements have been Originated by
township votes.
