OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER it. (04. PAGE . OREGON CITY STREETS. L. H. Andrtwt Make Som Sugget tiont on Road Building. Editor Enterprise By your permission I will give few talks on how to Improve the crushed rock and gravel roads, tint l-.ave been permitted to run to see here In Oreogn City until they aie unbearable A nuisance and dis grace to the people at home, and a scare crow to any strangers passing this way. Tie way that all our crushed rock roads have been built In this count from the first, some 15 years past, not one of ih.Mii has been finished and not one of them has given satisfactor-. a road to the public. Just because tl.ey have been left in the entile, :aw rock surface, to be shu-.n I l.v eory boise when possible an 1 to be pr.nul i'lto ruts by everx r-ssMUK wagon, so that very soon they have lost half their cost to build, and in every Instance In the city and coun try the crushed rock roads have not paid above one fourth their cost to build, just for lack of the extra stroke, the extra nail, the finishing touch. As a general rule the foundation work has been good, the grading has been all right, and the crushed rock has been put on deep enough and rounded up properly and many of the roads have been rolled and then called finished and then left to destruction. The strength and durability of cruhed rock is not In Itself, It must have something to bind It. something to cement It together and hold it solid or it will not become solid and there is nothing better than clay nlrt that lies right along by the side of every piece of crushed rock road made, uniess it be a street made from curb to curb as Center street, in that case It will have to be hauled by team and put on. There should not be allowed a itagon to pass over the crushed rock after it is put on the street and raked into Its proper place until it is cover ed two or three inches deep all over the surface with clay dirt That is the open secret that any man can see by passing over any of our ragged streets in Oregon City. And yet our city fathers after 15 years of experi ence will keep on In "the old nit of letting the rock lie on the road un covered expecting the traveling over It will cause it to become smooth. It is the loose stones and rocks on the surface that destroys a road sooner than any other one thing. Please notice a wagon wheel as it passes over a bare crushed rock sur face and you will see every rock move within a foot of where the wheel rolls, not so where the surface is covered with dirt, every time a wheel rolls over it the dirt settles down into the cracks and holes anil cements all to gether, and soon it is like one solid stone and the surface becomes even smooth and hard into a perfect road, horses are not afraid to step tm It Anywhere, therefore it does not wear Into ruts and holes, and much of the coarser rock scattered all over the street. i The shiftless habit of letting the crushed rock lie uncovered until the wason wheels and general travel cov er them with mud is the cause of the two ruts in all crushed rock roads, the horses will follow the track of the wagon wheels, and the wheels wear and crowd out the loose rock until there an- no ruts from end to end of the road four to six inches deep, this hapiens in alxmt two or three weeks then the road is spoiled, you cannot rill up those two solid tracks or ruts with other rock to make a solid, smooth surface no more than you can stir up cement after it Is set, and exiert it to harden again.
