GOOD ROADS PROVING BACKBONE OF COUNTRY
Nebraska Shows Possibilities of Maintenance at Ixnv Cost.
In the recent issue of Farm and Fireside, a writer says about pood roads; "No other county in Nebraska offers a better illustration of the low cost of building and maintaining good dirt roads than Polk county, especially during the time when a county highway engineer was employed to supervise the road and bridge work in that county. That period began in the spring of 1911 and continued until the beginning of the year 1315. "During that time ."2." miles of the 820 miles of road in the county were graded. Previous to the services of the county engineer only 153 miles of road in the county had been graded. During his term of office, contracts were let to grade every mile of road within the boundaries of the county, which shows that the crossroads received attention as well as the main traveled ones. "It is true that the county engineer worked under favorable conditions, lor the soil and lay of the land in Polk county are favorable for efficient roadwork; the soil absorbs water rather rapidly, and most of the land is level. "The cost of grading in Polk county was reduced during the county engineer's supervision from $84.21 a mile the first year, when a steam engine and a few teams were hired to do the work, to $43 a mile in 1914, when two tractors owned by the county were used to do practically all the grading. Grading in adjoining counties cost from $65 to $100 a mile with blade and elevator graders. 'The use of the tractors in Polk ccunty reduced the cost of the work one-half, and in addition gave much more satisfactory results in the type of grading done. The tractor packs the road more than do teams, and consequently the highway soon becomes in good condition for travel. "In Polk county no work was done with elevator graders, except in low places or where a high grade was required. All new grades were disked and harrowed immediately to smooth and pack them. Newly graded roads were in good condition for travel within a few days alter grading. The slope from the center of the road to the ditches was made one inch to the foot and the ditch banks were cut down to permit moving the roadside and thus add greatly to its appearance."
