' At k meeting of the good roads committee of the Chamber of Com uieree, which was held yesterday af ternoon, a discussion took place as .o the best method of repairing the road between this city and Ohoco wUdty at the most economical fig -tffe. A. M. Dumay, chairman of the committee, suggested a plan which met with approval and which may be carried out. He soggeetrd that a space, ton feet wide, be <fag oat in the center of the road to a depth of about on? foot and that th!s be filled in with shell roch and then rolled down. "This would provide an excellent highway at the lowest possible cost," slated Mr. Dumay, "and would an swer every 'purpose satisfactorily. If w* go ahead and try to shell the en 'tlre width of road. It Is going to cost more than we can afford to live for th'o work at the present .ime. The ten-foot space would af-! ford, ample width for traffic and che aidee of the road, which would necessarily be used but little, would keep In fairly good sbape.'* Captain Leach stated that. In a good maay cases It would not be necessary to cut out a hollow in th eenter of the road, this part iften lower than the sides, and al? j that would be needed would be to put dawn the shell reek.
