Plan to Drag and Maintain Roads by Poll Tax Payors
A proposed plan assigns each poll tax payer a road section not exceeding a half mile. In spring and after rains, each person drags and smooths his section with a split log drag, filling ruts and crowning surfaces to shed water. The aim is quick, minimal disruption to farm work and nationwide capability to maintain all roads in a few hours.
