HOW TO REPAIR AND MAINTAIN THE 

 ROADS. 



The making of good roads is one of the 

 most important duties of the American people 

 and their prompt repair and careful main- 

 tenance is essential. There is probably no 

 subject in which the progressive farmer is 

 more deeply interested than that of having 

 roads connecting him with his markets over 

 which he may be able to haul the greatest 

 possible load. Good roads, like all other good 

 things, are too expensive to build and of too 

 much value to be neglected. 



The Office of Public Roads of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture has published a bulletin 

 on "Repair and Maintenance of Highways." 



This bulletin does not treat the subject of 

 road building, but takes up the repair and 

 care of roads after they are built. All classes 

 of roads, from the natural earth road to the 

 macadam roads with bituminous surfacing, 

 have received attention. The action of auto- 

 mobiles on road surfaces is explained. The 

 systems of road management in Massachusetts, 

 New York, England, and France are given, 

 with tables of costs. 



The writer concludes that on account of 

 the use of heavier vehicles and motor trucki 

 the tendency of road building is toward a 

 heavier and more substantial foundation and a 

 consequent reduction of the cost of main- 

 tenance.
