Show PUT CLAY ON THEHIGHWAY Clay is not usually a very good thing to put on the roads in wet weather. But it was this time. Immediately Im-mediately after the rain Jim Clay, who has charge of the worst piece of the State highway in Beaver coun-tyt coun-tyt from Milford to the Fouts ranch, got real busy. He would have accomplished ac-complished more if the equipment had been assembled. But he located locat-ed and hauled it as soon as possible and got all the teams available at work. He did a good job rounding up the road and dragging the surface sur-face free of the holes and bumps. But neither Jim Clay nor any other living man can make a good road that will last for any considerable length of time out of ' silt dust. There, are places a good many ot them in Mr. Clay's strip of highway high-way which must be given foundation of gravel or crushed rock. In fact the most economical thing to be done with that State highway is to make a permanent road of it by concreting concret-ing it. If only a mile or two could be built at a time it would pay to build it rather than to try to make a road from silt dust. |
