ADVICE TO ROAD BUILDERS.
p .
Engineering Skill, Sempetent Super-
I vision end Money Are Needed.
I The true value of a system of high-
ways to the state depends upon many
conditions, among which may be cited
continuity, thus providing for the re-
I qulrements of transportation over din-
tances 'greater than can be economical
ly traversed on Inferior and sometimes
nearly impassable roads; hardness and
smoothness of surface with easy
grades, permitting a reduction In the
cost of haul, and an administration
that will furnish an economical and
judicious expenditure of the funds
used in construction and maintenance,
says G. W. Cooley, state engineer ot
Minnesota. It has been shown that
95 per cent of all products, canted by
rail or steamship must first be trans
ported over the primary roads of the
| country, and it is therefore to these,
the most important of which ot^thls
time are the common earth roads, that
eur attention Is at present directed.
One of the greatest mistakes gener
ally made with the opening up of a
road system in a new country Is that
induced by the belief that no engineer
ing skill Is necessary and that any man
versed In the handling of tools or road
machinery Is thoroughly competent to
build a road. Such a mistake fre
quently finds Its legitimate fruitage In
expensive changes of location, regrad
ing or Insufficient drainage and re
quiring after the expenditure of large
amounts of money for construction
that much more must be provided to
remedy the errors originally mad*.
The subject of road building on a
plan commensurate with the necessi
ties and financial ability of the people
then resolves Itself into but three parts
—first, sufficient engineering skill to
properly locate and drain onr high
ways; second, competent supervision
In construction, and, third, money to
Jay the bills.
