Spencer. CONSTANT AND SYSTEMATIC REPAIR OF SOIL ROADS ESSENTIAL TO SERVICE Hon. Joseph Hyde Pratt, in charge ot the highway work in North Caro- Una,' has said that the only perma nent thing about improved highways is the road bed and for this reason the roads should be laid out in the, most careful manner. Then after the proper location has been determine 1 there is -no material that will serve as permanent Improvement ; without proper maintenance, - v ' i In the Carollnas the most popular and the - most serviceable material that can be used la the soil ot sand clay. Forsyth county has made good progress In building this' class' - of roads and in every Instance the points necessary in modern road construc tion have been met " It now devolves npon the supervisors to perform their dutlea most faithfully, especially for tha next two or three years, for If they fall to keep these roads in repair even for a short period, it is possible that tho money that the highway com mission has expended In an effort to develop their community will have been, spend for naught Failure . t. keep the road shaped and the ditches open so that the water will readily drain oft for two or three successive rains will proba-bly result in the necessity-of reconstructing the road from the beginning. Neglect will at least necessitate the moving of heavy road building machinery to that sec tion when it could better be used in new developments.- This has been the experience In 'sections ot the. South land where soil and sand-clay . road construction has been tested for lon ger periods than, In North Carolina. herewith is presented a stretch of highway on the "Rural Hall road which when the photograph was taken was a good example of soil road badly In need of the road drag. It Is an ex ample ot the condition In which all soil roads get during the first three month after it to built, and If proper ly dragged and drained It will In that time form a crust bard enough ' to resist much of the damage that would otherwise result from lengthy wet pe riods. The road shown in the picture is near the farm ot Mr. Joe Marshall In Salem Chapel township. : There are other sections of. sou road In the county that are even in ! worse condition, a condition, howeve", that to alway experienced in " the : first few months of the new soli road. For this reason It Is. urged that syste matic and persistent effort be mado ; throughout the county to drag all ; roads following every- rain. Otherwlsu the public cannot secure value re ceived for the money expended in (building them. Not only do these conditions exist In Forsyth but in adjoining counties as well, and the highway commission era and other boards having road matters In hand in every county in the state, are being urged to make some provision for regular inspection of the improved highways. These 'In spectors should be clothed with au thority to compel those whose duty it is to keep the roads In repair to be faithful in their service. A prominent Citizen has suggested that the county provide, each super visor with two or: more road drags, providing also funds sufficient to com pensate them for the service ot main tenance according to the number of miles ot road in his township. While the maintenance of soil road la easy and can be done at a sma!. cost as compared with roads of other materials, estimated from about $25 to $45 per mile per year; yet work must be constant and systematic. The road drag of the split-log type Is considered the most efficient. Engi neers may exercise every care In the. location of a road, and the contract ors construct' the highway in the most perfect manner, but no road will en dure long without proper,' constant and systematic maintenance. ; Views of an Expert An expert in road building baa re cently expressed himself as affecting road dragging In these words: "The principle of the action ot the drag la simply this: The clays and most heavy soils will puddle and set very hard it worked, when wet" The drag is essentially a puddling ma chine. . After each rain and while the earth la still plastic, but not sticky enough to adhere to the drag, one or two trips up and down the road la made, with the drag. Only a small amount ot earth Is moved, just enough to fill the ruts, and depressions and smooth over the surface with a thin layer of plastio clay, . which packs very hard under passing traffic and leaves the road smooth, and hard so that the next rain, instead of finding ruts and depressions in which to col-i iect. runs off. leavlns- v, ..... little affected.
