THIS PROBLEM IS NEGLECTED, Plain or Re-enforced Concrete Is No Doubt the Best Material to Use For These Small Structures Either In the Flat Top or Arch Form, Says Kansas Highway Engineer.

And many of the stone and concrete culverts- are only covered sufficiently to keep them in place. They are like a series of bar rels half buried in the road, no attempt being made to build approaches to themi. Different state highway commiissionls have defined cuIverts as structures having spaIns of less than four feet --t~ d..i,wcuss.o - tas feet are culverts. na* tn At the presenlt time practicaliy all culi verts in Kansas are too small to carry the water tlnt comes to them.

No beligerently-inclined citizen was ever disappointed in Id any of these four communities if 1s he were judicious enough to say n something nice about the other . three. Such a remark inevitablv , meant quarterless battle. Be-] [ sides keeping ea2h of the four towns awake about eighteen hours out of the twenty-four in order not to be surpassed, the: nuardrangular bickering has been af no small value as an en tertainment fer both Carolinas.
