It Is therefore essential that after a road Is once built, great care Rhould be taken In Its upkeep, There is no question that the cost of proper maintenance is many times saved In the Increased economic value- - of .the - highway traffic.

Highways coming under the first class are not so liable to be neglected by those entrusted with their care, and while their maintenance problem Is a very important and necessary one, this class of roads represents only a lesser portion. .The greater percentage of roads la the state are not Improved. Inasmuch as this class of roads serve the majority of the people and this kind of road will always predominate, It Is very necessary that attention be directed to proper ways and means of their maintenance. Each year more or less construction work is being done and the mileage of improved roads Increased, and while this work Is going on the unimproved roads should be kept in as good condition as possible at a minimum cost. The best results cair only be obtained .by the enthusiasm and local the man who uses the rml. pride He Is the fellow most interested, tnci a small amount of Intelligent attention by himself and his neighbors will Bhow great results on their particular section of the road.
