Hutchins urges that as Algona northward road is paved with eighteen foot width, provisions for dirt roads on both sides should be included. He cites New York experiments, argues dirt tracks extend road life, reduce wear on horses and shoes, and could be built at little or no extra cost by narrowing the hard surfacing and adding gravel side tracks.
