He illustrated the fact that the old way of road making is a failure and that supervisors should experiment with other methods until some good method or methods are found profitable. He urged them to sacrifice self interest for benefit of public good. Emory D. Claar responded with a few remarks on the correlation of good roads with other industries. A.

B. Ross, of the Department of Agriculture gave a very interesting talk to the supervisors on road construction. Mr. Ross explained how to shape the dirt road and keep it in repair for less than one- third of the -present cost and said that the roads would remain in good condition with little expense after they were properly shaped.
