Show I DRAG THE STREETS AFTER THE STORMS. On Saturday, David Ward White, of the split-log drag, gave a demonstration demon-stration of what his simple Invention could do in the converting of poor dirt roads into good roads. The drag was employed for a short stretch on Twentieth street hill, and within a few minutes the ruts were smoothed over and a water-shedding road ere- Iated. ' At one time Ogden City, with each returning spring, caused a drag not the split-log. but one somewhat similar simi-lar to be hauled over the dirt streets, just as the mud of winter Was disappearing, dis-appearing, and the results obtained were most gratifying, as all summer long the good effects were to .be seen. The city should return to that system, or, better still, adopt the White split-log split-log and drag ourstrects after each storm period. Money would-be "saved and our streets would be placed in better condition. on |
