SALT ON ROADS PREVENTS DUST Use Will End Inconveniences Now Existing', gays Huron Engineer’ GODERICH — Predicting the day not far -off iwhen farmers’ wives on the sidelines and concessions would no longer be. annoyed in summer months by the inconveniences -caus ed by the dust nuisance, because ot the increasing) use of salt in build ing -roads on the lesser travelled thoroughfares, T. R. Patterson, Hu ron County Engineer, addressed the Lions Club at its monthly luncheon. Mr. Patterson, -whose father was county engineer before him, told of road building and its administration from the days of the Canada Com pany to the present. Stating that salt roads had (been proven by experi ment t-o be a practical success where traffic was not too ’ heavy, he fore cast they would eventually- eliminate the need of yearly applications of -oil or calcium chloride to lay the dust. A salt road, he said, could be built for $20'0 a mile and w'ould stand up for at least three years without maintenance. Fifteen tons bof salt, mixed with clay and gravel land rolled, was sufficient for each mile and provided a hard, dust-proof surface. -Several stretches of these roads in Huron County have receiv ed the favorable -commendation of motorists. One such is between Dungannon and Lucknow. Watch Our Windows for Easter Novelties Priced from lc to $1.00 xHot Cross Buns v EVERY WEEK-END Leave your order for Good Friday WE DELIVER W. E.
