What Makes Good Roads In the spring when the roads are being rounded up you will notice how the traveling public will spoil them by driving along the side in­ stead of drhing over the center of the new road bed. Which is the bet­ ter, to drive along the side of the newly rounded road and thus spoil the bed, for the balance of the sum­ mer or drive over the center and thus be assured of a permanent road ? The road commissioner is generally blamed for the poor condition of our roads whereas the traveling public is at fault. If, after the road has been rounded, the public will drive over the center of the bed for just one day, the bed would soon be worn down and within a very .few days a good road would be the result. This would also insure the public of good roads thru- out the entire summer. We do not mean that one or two teams or auto­ mobiles should travel the center of the road bed, but it j? intended for all. Let us all try this this spring and you will be surprised at the result.
