' 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. The matter;
?i te brought ap at the aeart meet
ing of' the Chamber of Commerce
\nd the suggestions will be acted
epon at that time. - ?
