Public road system needs expert oversight says Columvun engineer
Mr Charies Ly Wood from Columvun argues for a county wide road commission to manage all roads, with a qualified civil engineer in charge. He calls for specific bid contracts, standardized roadbed widths, proper crown and grading, and seasonal work schedules. He advocates traction engines, multiple wagons, a road scraper, steam roller, ditching gear, and mule teams as cost effective tools. He warns autos damage roads and cites New York experience with auto caused wear and proposed auto taxes to cover repairs.
