(ONT AMI LOCATION OF KA KT II HMM* The cost ot hunllnK over country road* is largely determined by thc size uf load that cm tc- hauled, Hie number of trip? that qgb be made in one day, and thc wear and tear on teams and equipment, according to the Ottice of Public looads Steep grades, an well 08 rutH and mud-holes, serve to de-] crease both the speed and Hie loud... On the principle that a chain is no stronger than lin? ! weakest link, the uiHxiuniMi t'.it'd (hat a team can draw ls the' load that lt can .draw np tlie steepest hill or tlijouj?li the deepest mudhole on Hie road.

Many steep grades may be avoided by locating Hie road around instead of(< over the hill-the handle of a bucket i is no longer when In a horizon tal position than.jin .a* vertical. By going around, we avoid twe steep : hills. If the road must phss up a step hill 1 or mountain sldrs, the steepness of , the road may be egressed by ?ncreas- | lng the length eYtyuV'road. In other words, eliminate steep-grades by lo- ' eating the road on curved or zigzag , linee, and not in straight lines from t the bottom to the top of the hill.
