IMPROVE!) THOROUGHFARES
Good Roads Circular by Joseph Hyde
Pratt, 8tate Geologist and Secre
tary of the Good Roads
' Association.
Cbapel Hill. N. C., May, 20. When
we stop to consider the number of
miles of road in any county and com
pare this number with the small num
ber representing the milraa of special
ly surfaced road, we can readily see
that it will be a great many, years
perhaps, generations before all, or
even half, the public roads are sur
faced with macadam, or sand-clay.
For this reason it is very important
that we should give very careful con
sideration and thought to the con
struction and maintenance of the dirt
road.
When properly constructed, the dirt
road can be kept in good condition
throughout nearly the whole year, ex
cept, perhaps, during periods of se
vere freezes and thaws. At the pres
ent time we have very few earth roads
but what can be improved,' and usual
ly the question of the improvement is
not a very difficult one to solve.
The old idea that anyooay can
build a dirt road is fast losing ground
and our people are beginning to real
ize that road construction, even of
dirt roads, requires the services of
men who have been trained in this
line of work. A careful thought should
be given to the construction of dirt
roads as is given to the hard-surfaced
roads; and in those counties which
rely on just the labor tax for the con
struction of their public roads a great
advance can be made if this labor tax
is utilized under the supervision of an
experienced road engineer.
The location 'of any public road is
the . only permanent portion of the
road; therefore, great care should be
taken that when the road is once con
structed there should be no question
whatever regarding its relocation. In
locating a road it should be done so
as to permit of an easy grade none
over 4 1-3 per cent; and should' be
constructed so that It rwill readily
ehed the rainfall. How often we see
a road going up a hill and down the
other side,, when, by building around
the side of the hill, it could have been
kept at an even grade, reaching the
identical point within the same dis
tance, or but a little greater.
If, in grading a road, we have any
grades over 4 1-3 per cent., it will be
necessary to construct across the sur
f oce of the road a V-shaped surface
ditch to turn the water off the surface
of the road, for if this is not done the
water will, with the grade over 4 1-3
per cent, have momentum enough to
seriously gully the surface of the road
No matter how carefully these V-shaped
ditches across the surface of a
road are constructed, they are very
inconvenient . to travel, are hard on
the. wagons and should i be avoided
wherever1 possible.. They cap be avoid
ed If the grade is kept below 4 1-3 per
cent. i ft -
The dirt road is more susceptible to
damage by water than, of course, any
of the specially surfaced roads; there
fore, great care should be taken to
work out an efficient system of drain
age for the road. Water must be kept
away from the road, and the rain
which falls on the road must be per
mitted to run off as rapidly as possi
ble, and by a very easy grade. It
must not only be taken off the surface
of the road as rapidjy as possible but
also out of the side ditches. Care
should be taken that these side ditches'
are not too steep, and that every op
portunity is seized for turning . tffe
water out of the ditches into the ad
joining fields.
Many of our country roads are bad
because in their construction no ar
rangement was made for taking care
of the water, and thus they are very
muddy and filled with ruts and holes.
Instead of the middle of the road be
ing higher than the edges, so that the
water can readily run off on each side,
many of them are flat, or even con
cave, with the center of the road the
lowest point. If the road has been
constructed so that it is well crown
ed, with the slope about 1 in 20 from
the '"center of the road to the side
ditches, and these ditches have been
graded so as to readily take care of
the water, aid yet not steep enough to
cause hem to cut deep gullies on the
side of the road, and if the water is
taken from these , ditches at every
available point so as to prevent seep
age of water under the surface of the
road, there should be little difficulty
in keeping . the road In good condi
tion. Very often "t ft is necessary to
carry the water from one side of the
road to the. other; and when this is
necessary, it should be done by means
of either concrete, metal, or terra
cotta culverts or pipes, which will car
ry the water under the surface of the
road. After the system of drainage
has been installed, provision should
be made to keeD it ud. so that tha
drains and the culverts will not be
come stopped up.
The surface of a dirt mad ahnni
kept free of dirt, and whenever any
uuiea or ruig develop in the road.
uiej Buoma not De ,niled up with
Bione. or orusn, but with dirt, and
with dirt as nearly as noaaihio nf th
same character as the dirt composing
the surface of the balance of the
road. If, on the other hand, hnioa nr
ruts are filled with rock, gravel, or
umau, me wearing enect will be une
ven, and the wheels will begin to
scoop out holes Just beyond or on the
, opposite side of the road from tho tmi
filled up. , If there are stumps or rocks
, iu me luau, mey snouia all be remov
ed, so that the dirt surface can be
.Diuwiucu'UYBi ttua Drougnt to an
even slope from the center to -the
ditches. After the road has been well
constructed and .'the right slope and
surface obtained, it can be kent in th
condition very readily by judicious ap-
puvhuuu oi m vpiu-iog or King drag
This simple road machine, if used re
ularly after a rain when the roadhPd
is wet, will smooth and shape up the
roaa so mat as soon as it has dried
out it wui oe . nrm and hard. The
drag will fill up the ruts and holes and
will keep the dirt road in first-class
condition, wltn hard surface, through
' out nearly the whole year.
i Ab moisture Is very detrimental to a
dirt, road, the sun should be permitted
to strike the surface of a dirt road as
much as possible; and, therefore, care
, should be taken not to-have too much
' shade along a dirt road, and, where
necessary, the trees .should De cui
away so that the whole Burface of the
road is exposed to the sun for at least
several hours during the day. Shadca
is good for macadam road,, but bad
for a dirt road. .
In repairing a dirt road the same
thought must be given as in the -construction
of the road, land, when clean
ing out ditches, the material should
not be thrown into the middle of the
road or on any vpart of. the surface of
the road, 'but it should be thrown into
the adjoining fields; for this material
is usually composed largely of fine silt
and vegetable material, which holds
moisture like a sponge and becomes
very difficult to dry out, and is Entire
ly different in character and consis
tency from the dirt surface of the
road. How many times we have seen
the dirt road repaired by this material
being thrown up into the center or
just beyond the edge of the ditch, thus
preventing the surface water from
flowing into the ditches, and, instead,
turning it down the road!
In the maintenance of our dirt roads
they should be divided into sections,
with a foreman or overseer in charge
of each section, whose duties should
be to go over every mile of his sec
tion after every rain and at least eve
ry two weeks, and wherever he finds
a portion of the road needing repair,
he should have it done. After each
heavy rain he should run a road drag
over the road in order to bring it into
shape and to fill up any ruts or holes
that might have been started. We
must bear in mind that roads will not
maintain themselves, and that repair
ing a road simply once a year will not
keep it in good condition.
'In repairing a dirt road:;
Don't fill up the holes and ruts in
the dirt road with brush, with rock
on top and a little airt to cover the
rocks; but fill up the hole with dirt
of the same character as the balance
of the road. '
Don't throw all the refuse from the
ditches into the middle of the road,
thus softening the surface and de
stroying the solid, firm bed that you
have obtained 'by previous work; but
throw this material out on the op
posite side of the ditch.
Don't leave the center of the road
the lowest point; but make it the
highest and give the surface of the
road a slope of about 1 in 20 to the
side ditch.
Don't carry the water across the
surface of the road from one side to
the other, but carry it by means of
culverts underneath the road.
Don't have grades on your road over
4 1-4 per cent. for if you do it will
be necessary to build V-shaped sur
face ditches of "Thank-you-mam's"
across the roa'ti. '
Don't in working out the labor tax
on the roads, try to make a holiday of
it; but give. an honest day's work on
the road. Let us eliminate what. is
aften seen in those sections where
the roads are maintained by the labor
tax ten or twelve men and an over
f3r. a little erav mule. a. small nlnw.
six 'dogs, three or four guns, and a
few tools which often are not consid
ered worth using at-home. This road
force is not only hard on the rabbits,
but also hard on the roads.
Don't reject the split-log drag be
cause it is a cheap' road machine, but
ure It constantly, for'it Is the most
efficient road machine . that we can
use in maintaining the dirt road.
WILD TAX VALUATIONS.
Something Going Wrong Under New
Equalization Law.
(Charlotte Chronicle.) t
Equalization of taxation is some
thing very ; much to be desired. Ex
cessive valuation of taxable property
is something to be avoided. The new
law regulating the assessment of tax
able property in the State was design
ed solely to bring about equalization.
Reports from, various parts of North
Carolina, however, lead us to believe
that the assessors are working under
a wrong interpretation of their du-1
ties. For instance, the Watauga Dem
ocrat tells us that sheep In that coun
ty are being assessed at; more than
their market value, and that hogs are'
being assessed at ten dollars each. If
these reports are true, the Watauga
county assessors are doing violence
to the law. ' Again, the Lenoir News
reports that some assessors are plac
ing higher valuation on property than
t could be sold for. "It is a difficult
matter," says The News, "to say Just
what a certain piece of real estate or
personal property would bring, If of
fered at public sale, and to fix cer
tain valuation to the taxables of a
community, requires the very best of
judgment and discrimination not to
work a hardship on some tax Daver.
The present rate of valuation, fixed
Dy some of the assessors, if it be kept
up and is permitted to stand, will show
a wonderful increase in the taxable
property In this county. Real estate
has heretofore been taxed ) at about
one-third its actual value and the per
sonal property in about the same ra
tio, but some of the men now fn the
field, acting tinder instructions from
the county attorney, are listing it at
its true or highest value. As the rate
for the State has been fixed by the
Legislature and cannot be changed
the taxes will be very burdensome, if
mesa vaiues Brand, state taxes wa
increased by the last Legislature from
39 to-45 cents on the $100 valuation
of property. Then add to this the In
crease of assessed value 200 per cent.
and it is evident that the tax will be
a burden. Take, for instance, a man
who has heretofore had $1,000 worth
of property and has paid thereon-for
atate purposes $3.90. Under the Tiew
order of things he would pay for State
purposes $13.50. As far as the county
and towns are concerned, the rate can
be lowered, if the commissioners see
fit to do so and the actual , amount of
tax to be , paid remain the same as
heretofore, but in the matter of tha
State tax, there is no relief." ;r
ine tax assessors should have a
caution. Property should not be, as
sessed at its. real value at least, we
do not understand that the law has re
quired that, or does require It. There
is no doubt of the fact that thousands
of dollars of property In the State
has been under-assessed. . Some prop
erty has been bearing , more than its
shore of taxes. The object of the
law Is to strike a balance. If the as-
ressors are going at it like the Wa
tauga Democrat and the Lenoir News
say they are, .then watch out lor a
political eclipse in North Carolina
when the next election comes along,
Mark that! :
