Tells of Road Work
' R. J. Windrow, consulting en
gineer of the Missouri highway com
mission, who was here to see the
Bignetl pile sinking demonstration
Wednesday, spoke of the $60,000,000
road building program Missouri is
starting.
'What is the best road? You can't
tell." he said. "The answer to that
question depends upon locality,, cli
mate and many other things.
"We plan to build various kinds of
roads. Where traffic is heavy and
where the roads are near to a supply
of good brick, we will build bfick
roads. Where highways are near a
supply of gravel we will use gravel."
