ton hsd to traverse a mountain road
for a distance of se »‘rii miles to ship
ping point. The roads were so sandv
iti some places that it « a s ini|.ossible
to halli n hessy load over them, while
some of thè grades were so steep as to
ehallenge thè best hor»es of the coun
try. It cost thè fruitgrowers 20 cents
l»er hundred pounds t» baili their prò-
«luce ont and 1" cents per hundred for
freight going back
This meant an ex-
pense of .IT cents and 41 | mt tori per
mila. The eitir.ena of this district in
milles will haul l ‘J bales of cotton any
month in the year over tin- same road.
A contemplation o f the difference in
expense arising from these changed
conditions will convince the most skep
tical of the value of a system of good
roads.
In many counties throughout the
Cnited States, vast sums of money
have been spent for the construction of
permanent roads, I,ut the most import
ant feature of the movement has lieen
overlooked. This is the upkeep of the
road after constructed. County officials
seem to regard the newly constructed
road as completed. The upkeep is neg
lected and almost before they know it
the surface is gone, the bottom has
been undermined and the wirrk has to
be done again at the expense of the
taxpayer. To overcome this evil there
seems to be but one remedy the pa
trol system.
Properly organized, this
method of handling the roads will be
found inexpensive and efficient, the
road once constructed properly being
kept constantly in as good condition
as when new. Authority is distributed
among too many supervisors in the
majority of cases and each is given a
free hand for the maintenance of the
roads of his district as best he sees
(it.
A centralizing of the authority
in the county court seems to have been
the most effective method of dealing
with the problem of upkeep, a close
supervision being found necessary if
the roads are to be kept in perfect re
pair.
The necessity of the patrol system
is made more apparent from the widely
different effect of wagon and auto
traffic.
The dust surface, kept con
stantly forming by the travel of horses
and vehicles and so essential to the
permanency of the roads, is sucked up
and whisked away by the swiftly mov
ing motor, while the name motors wear
off no dust from tbe stones remaining
to take the place of that removed.
This condition has brought about much
experimenting in the making of sur
face, but as yet no solution has been
found. It has been demonstrated,
however, th at with an effective patrol
system one man can attend several
miles of road with a single horse and
cart, carrying with him some of the
materials for repairing and keeping
others in stations located at intervals
along his route. The expense incurred
in this manner is found to be slight,
the first cost proving to be practically
the full cost. In Europe a road, once

The wealth of Mexico in agricultural, challenge tbe eye of the passing tourist
mineral and natural resources has as do those of our own country. One
looks down from the rapidly-moving
proven so alluring that American rail
train seemingly fathomless distances to
roads have entered the field with zest the jagg«‘d bed of the canyon below;
and hase expended millions of dollars or up toward the stars to where, hun
in construction of trunk lines and dreds of feet above, the mountain peak
branches reaching far into the interior pierces the blue, reaching, as it were,
for a closer communion with the in
and tapping the richest sections of the
fin ite; then the mountain is entered
country. Apparently no attention has and the train enierg«*s a fte r a spell,
been paid to the expense entailed in upon a change of scene th at calls forth
reaching the goal, for canyons have new exclamations of admiration and
been trestled, mountains pierred and wonder.
The expenditure of so much money
rivers spanned that but a few years
ago challenged the skill of the best in a country so belligerent has brought
engineers.
Kich valleys and mineral- loss to the capitalist during the recent
laden mountains are thus reach«"! in months. For Mexico is a country of
this strangely unrestful country and revolutions and property rights receive
the s,enio wonders of many portions no consideration a t the hands of the
contestants.
During the la te revolu
tions of Madero and Orozco bridges
were dynamited and trains wrecked,
the replacing of which entailed the
expenditure of millions o f dollars.
Wherever the presence of a bridge
proved of advantage to the enemy, it
was blown up with dynamite, and
whenever either faction could find a
trainload of the enem y’s soldiers en-
route, the spreading of the rails, or
the undermining of a trestle spelled
the doom of the entire force. Saber
and bayonet finished the work not a c
complished by the wreck. But, despite
the losses incident to the revolutions,
repairs have been made and further
work projected. The best engineering
talent available is even now at work
on new construction proposals.

in the W o rld
constructed, is constantly watched and
kept in repair.
In America it is sel
»lorn touched a fte r it is built. Here is
ou r mistake.
In ninny countries the
best road building materials are to he
found along the highway, thus reducing
to a minimum the cost of upkeep. It
has been found that about 20 per cent
o f the roads carry 90 per cent of tho
t r a f fi c . The patrol system, adjusted to
meet this condition, would find the up
keep of the roads less frequently used
to be very light.
Th e reform of our system must begin
with repairing. Nothing speaks better
for a community than a system o f e x
cellent roads. Nothing is so discourag
ing to the prospective settler or the
casual observer as a good road full of
chuck-holes, the result o f neglect.
If
the [iatrol system is followed in this
country as it is in Europe, there will
he no bad stretches of road, for the
methods now known and advised by
our government are superior to those
o f the old country. F n t i l about three
years ago nothing had been done to
bring the matter before the public.
Now the importance of the automobile
as a facto r in road construction has
made imperative a close study of the
best methods in order that a surface
may be kept that will not yield to the
suction of the soft pneumatic tire and
a t the same time come within the limit
o f the tax flayer’s pocketbook.
With
the government to advise and with a
thorough upkeep system, this result
may be attained and the full benefits
of a permanent road system be de
rived. A national association for high
way improvement is the next step in
this great movement.
