About This Book

The author argues that practical road improvement must begin with well-built, well-maintained earth roads rather than immediate widespread paving. The bulletin outlines the social and economic benefits of dependable rural highways, calls for public education and staged development, diagnoses causes of deterioration, and offers hands-on guidance for construction, drainage, grading, compaction, and routine upkeep. It cautions that premature adoption of expensive hard surfaces can be unaffordable and counterproductive, and presents properly maintained earth roads as a cost-effective present solution and the necessary foundation for future surfacing and better highways.
