My Road Proposition.
Angora, Or., May 12, 1907.
To Thb Leadkk: The first and fun
damental principle is thorbugh drain?
age. This, I think, can be test done o i
all grades by digging or plowing a ditch
on the upper side, say one and one-hal
to two feet deep aud 12 to 18 inches
wide and 'fill this with coarse gravel or
broken rock from two to four inches
thick. Then cut cross drains where
needed, four to six inches deeper. They
should be down grade, quartering across
the road and deeper on outside, when
road is level; then put a little smaller
gravel on top and not allowing any open
ditch to run iu this. Where it is not
fafdig a ditch to head of spring, cut iu
"T" or "V" to get all the water, and (ill
it with rock or coarse gravel. All
springy places can be fixed this way,
and'whon done right it is there for all
time. Gravel makes the best tiling in
the world. I have some that has been
down twenty years and its as good as
-When first put down.
In rnfll-inir n rond, nnvt tMnij f
raiuage is to thoroughly roll or Dick
the road from bottom to top and put on
lour to six inches of gravel or crushed
rock, then compel all freight teams to
use a wide tire wagon. Making roads
can best be done with a traction engine.
