Mr. Martin Dodge, director of the ofk

department, and M. O. El- '

Moore, president of the National Good

fourteen road experts, Mr. R.

When the train arrives, the engineer!
will begin at once to build about a
* mile of dirt road with the trains, men
and materials furnished by the locality.
They will then surface or macadamize
as 4nuch of that road as their
time will permit When the practlca0
blllty of the movement has been thus
manifested, the mayor and commercial
organizations will unite In a call for a
public meeting to organize an assocte*

President Moore of the National
Good Roads association says of th*
project:
"The south can havfi good roads if it
Will, and the sooner the ^citizens get. together
and work along some well or*
ganlzed and practical line these result!
will be reached the quicker. There'll
nothing that will do more to Increase
the value of virgin lands and advance
the development of the rural districts
than well constructed public roads.
The Improvement of thfe road system
will have a wonderful effect upon stimulating
the settlement of people on
farms, and as these settlements are being
made so will the value of the land
Increase.
"Wherever a city or town is found >
possessing well made roadways lead*.

ness of that point Is In a prosperous
l condition. Therefore the citizens of -every
town in the south will be promoting
their owl* interests If they giva
this movement their moral and if nec- \
essary financial stipport
"It is hoped that every state, county,
city and town officer will give this subject'of
better roads serious corisldera
tlon and then take the matter in, hand
Immediately and show his constituents . '
that the movement for better roads
will receive his utmost consideration
and utmost co-operation.
"It is universally decided that good
roads are what we want In order to
* secure them we must pull together,
working systematically and on practl1
cal lines. This grand tour, planned by
the Southern Railway company, la .a
^ signal for action. If the states visitiM
ed are not alive to this and do not avail
themselves of the opportunity to secure
information rendered by tbe good roads
special train, no one will be at fault
* except the citizens of the states In - .
. which the exhibits are made."

Grades of Roads.
| The grade is the most Important fae?
tor to be considered In the location of
roads. The smoother the road surface
L the less the grade should be. Whether
the road be constructed of earth, stone
or gravel, steep grades should always
gjl De avoiaea u possiuie. me/ ucvuiui
covered at times with coatings of tee
or slippery soil, making them very difficult
to ascend with loaded vehicles, at
well as dangerous to desftnd. They
allow water to rush down at such a
* rate as to wash great gaps alongside
or to carry the surfacing material
away. As the grade Increases In steep- '
ness either the load has to be dlmln>
lshed In proportion or more horses m
