Dear Sir: w Replying to your favor of the 6th instant, would say, the top-soil roads r? in Greenville county have on a whole," le in ray judgment,, oeen emmcnuj oan-jiu isfactory, provided they are scraped ;S< when required, certainly every two gi V months, and the top-soil replaced ss p- where it has disappeared. The ob?!gi | jection to top-soil roads is the lack of jOi top-soil within a reasonable distance,gi of the roads that can be used for re-jes E placement, as the immediate supply j is soon exhausted; and replacements ai are absolutely necessary. This is the in , difficulty and danger I see ahead as th ' to the maintenance of our top-soil w roads. as The greatest enemy to the top-soil.in roads is the cut-out on automobiles J ^ g|&. trucks and particularly autocycles. |w These cut-outs are low down to the w ground, and act as a high powered^ fan in blowing the top-soil away from the road bed and creating a great C1 cloud of dust, which finds lodgement C1 in adjoining fields. The ordinary use of automobile ve- ' hides would not be so injurious but on our country roads J find that ^ 1?.\ trucks and autocycles almost habitually are running with their cut-out a j&\ wide open. q a ? ?wstasJ imnrnvpmpntl Ally permanent iuau ? will deteriorate, and needs constant repairs, as we have found in Greenville County with the use of macad- j am covered with tarvia, even when' built on a concrete foundation. [q Good roads are like Liberty, and ? need constant vigilance to insure their usefulness and efficiency. Yours truly, ( Ellison A. Smyth. jv KING SONDLEY OF SETBACK | Col.
