A former legislator explains resigning over suspected ballot irregularities linked to the Russell recount and defends the government’s honor while noting the need for moral standards. He adds a letter suggesting local councils repair rough roads to ease travel and traffic.
The King split log drag or its steel variant is praised as a premier road repair tool. Drag roads soon after rain to squeeze water from soil creating a smooth puddled surface that bakes hard and sheds water. The effect accumulates like successive coats of paint on a building.
The text describes using road drags to layer puddled soil over time forming a strong road crust that supports heavy traffic. It notes 72 miles of road in a township, usually under 35 miles traveled, with one man and two horses or two men and several horses sufficient for summer upkeep. Bridges and culverts remain minimal. reinforced concrete could reduce future needs.
