To Inspect State Prison
Atlanta, Ga., July 12.—The
penitentiary committees of both
senate and house left today for
Milledgeville, to inspect the state
prison there and investigate con
ditions. The committee was ac
companied by several other mem
bers of the assembly who admit
ted that their visit was inspired
largely by a desire to see the
noted Leo M. Frank, now an in
mate at that institution. |
~ Itis said that an exhaustive
ireport will be made recomending
‘improvements at the state farm,
as previously urged by the prison
commission. It is shown in the
last report of that body that all
‘of the improvements now being
demanded were urged by the
lboard, and that had they been
granted last year the typhoid,
which has made its appearance
at the farm would not have had
the chance to spread.

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE FRIDAY JULY 23 1915
How to Make And Keep
The Roads Smooth
The traffic on earth and gravel
roads has a constant tendency to
develop ruts, chuck holes, and de
pressions. The chief aim and pur
pose of road maintenance is to pre
vent and remedy this destructive
action. To be successful and effi
cient, road maintenance must be
systematic and continuous. Hap
hazard work is expensive and un
satisfactory,
If the road is very rough and
uneven or the crown very low the
road machine or grader is very
efficient for placing it in shape.
One must guard, however, against
the all too common practice of
scraping the sod and other vege
table matter and refuse from the
sides and ditches on to the road
in general, on the clay and heavy
soil roads all vegetable or spongy
material should be carefully ex
cluded. Such materials absorb
moisture readily and furnish but
little resistance against wear. The
road surface should be built up
with the best material possible
material which will pack and con
solidate under traflic and which
will be as nearly water proof as
possible and will wear uniformly.
In general the road machine or
grader should be used in the spring
of the year while the ground is
moist and in such condition that
it wlll work easily and at the same
time pack well under passing
traffic, Considerable skill and
judgement is required to use the
road grader to the best advantage,
An unskilled and careless operator
will sometimes actually leave the
road lln a worse condition than
when he began work. Do not
scrape sod and refuse into the
road. Good earth 1s far better as
it will not decay nor absorb mois
ture so readily. Do not be guilty
of the too common practice of
leaving a windrow of clouds or
loose earth along the middle of
your road to impede traffic and
absorb water at the first rain.
Leave the roads smooth over the
entire surface and traffic wiil
spread and be less likely the pro
duce ruts. Always use the grad
er in such a way as to make the
road bhetter and not worse for the
passing traffic.
When the road has been placed
in good condition as to crown and
smoothness the road drag is the
best tool for maintaining it in
that condition. Drag the road
after each rain while the surface
is still moist but not sticky. Use a
light drag and move only a vary
little earth—just sufficient to fll
the ruts and depressions and leave
a slight surplus if the crown is
low. Ride on the drag and shift
your position accordicg to] the
amount of eairth necessary to be
moved. If the rain has been of
long duration it may be advisable
to drag the road twice; first very
soon after the rain, and again
when the clay is drying out or
beginning to set.
Do not drag a dry road. Success
ful dragging is dependent on a
certain amount of water or mois
ture in the road surface. Praciical
ly all clays and most soils, if not
too sandy, will puddle if worked
when wet, and oz diying out will
set very hard. The drag in con
nection with traffic is essentially a
puddling machine, which, when
properly used, leaves the road
surface crowned and covered with
a smooth layer of puddled and
densely packed soil. This layer is
as nearly impervious to water as
it is possible to make lit. Follow
ing rains find little or no place for
lodgement, as the water quickly
runs off to the side ditches. Un
less the rain is long continued the
road surface is not softened to any
great depth. The prompt use of
the drag after each rain leaves the
surface smooth and ready to with
stand the next storm,
Therefore, to make your road
smooth, use a road machine or
grader to put itin proper shape
in the spring of the year, To keep
your road smooth, use the road
drag judiciously atter each rain.
This will keep an earth or gravel
road in the best shape in which 1t
is possible to maintain it through
out the year,
