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.
