HARRIS BURG TELEGRAPH
PATROL SYSTEM
FOR ROAD REPAIRS
[Continued From First Page.]
economy of the new system will be
appreciated.
Those patrol men will be dtreotly
under the County Superintendents.
They will be required to make out a
dally report of the number of hours
they work and these reports will be
collected by the County Superintend
ents, who will make out payrolls for
the patrol men. As the County Sup
erintendents have been supplied with
light roadsters, It will be possible for
them to keep In close touch with theee
patrol men on the State Highways and
to ascertain whether or not the work
is being done properly.
Each patrol man will be supplied
with tools and equipment necessary
for his work and each one will hav«
a small red flag which he will be re
quired to place In a conspicuous posi
tion on the road when, for any reason,
he Is required to leave the roadside
during working hours. Hence, either
the presence of the patrol man at work
or of his flag. Indicating temporary
absence, will be noticeable during the
working hours.
Care In Selections
Great care is being exercised In the
selecting of these patrol men and
State Highway Commissioner Cun
ningham Is determined to have none
bat sober, honest and Industrious men
lin these responsible positions. If it
Is found that the patrol men are
neglecting their work, Instant dis
missal will follow.
System of Work
The manner in which the care
takers will work is as follows:
Along the side of the highway at
frequent Intervals will be placed small
piles of stone chips and gravel, which
will be used In patching holes as they
are found In the roadway. Barrels, or
drums, of bituminous material, con
taining approximately 4 6 gallons each,
will be placed at intervals of from
one-fourth to one-third of a mile
along the roadside. When the care
taker finds a spot in the road which
shows signs of wear, he will place the
stones and bituminous material on It,
tamping It down carefully and mak
ing the surface of the road smooth and
even. The caretaker also will look
after the edges of. the road and will
keep the bcrms clear of weeds and
grass and will protect the shoulders ot
the road to prevent water from getting
underneath. Each patrol man will be
supplied with the followin? outfit: A
small combination melting and pour
ing pot on wheels, a hand-pouring pot,
an asphalt tamper, a wheel-barrow, a
push brush, a pick, a short-handled
and a long-handled shovel; a scythe,
a snathe, a mattock, a rake, and a
brush hoc^k.
As these patrol men will be under
the constant watch of the County Sup
erintendent, it will be necessary for
them to devote their entire time and
attention to the territory to which,
they are assigned. It Is the intention,
ultimately, that no man shall have
more than six miles of roadway to
patrol and this only in sections where
the character of the road is such that
he can cover it easily and conveniently
in a day. In mountainous districts,
and in places where peculiar forma
tions make the care of the road more
onerous, the patrol distance will be
diminished.
List of Duties
The following list of the general
duties of the patrol men has been
prepared by the State Highway De
partment and each man as he is en
gaged will be furnished with a copy
of it and will have his duties explained
to him In detail:
Keep drains and ditches open at ail
times.
Special attention must be given to
defects In planking and condition of
bridge floors.
Repair all defects in the surface of
the road, maintaining same In a true
and even condition.
Repair and whitewash guard rails.
Provide protection and red lights in
case of flood washouts, or other
emergency conditions.
Remove brush from along the Bides
of the road, giving special attention
to this condition at curves, approaches
to railroad crossings, bridges, cross
roads, etc.
Keep the berms or shoulders of the
road trimmed up, in that the surface
water may be discharged freely from
the road surface to the side ditches.
Remove all advertising signs from
within the legal limits of the high
way.
Paint and keep in tlrst-class con
dition all Department Direction and
"Warning Signs.
Inspect culverts, head-walls, crib
bing. retaining walls, etc., and report
defects immediately to the Superin
tendent.
Whitewash large rocks and the
bases of poles on narrow sections of
highway and at sharp curves, (Spring
and Fall); poles to be whitewashed to
a height of six feet above ground.
All equipment, tools, and material
placed in the charge of each caretaker
must be accounted for by him at all
| times, and tools and equipment kept
In thorough repair.
Economic and workmanlike results
will be the most Important factor
recognized by the Department.
Attention must he given to the en
tire section allotted to the carfltaker,
and work not confined to special and
convenient portions.
Daily Report Postal Card must be
mailed every evening to the Super
intendent.
When working on the road. Care
taker must have flag, which will be
provided, displayed at all times near
where work Is being performed.
When conditions require additional
help, team hire, or material of any
character, permission must be first se
cured from the Superintendent.
All additional help and team hire
must be carried on Foreman's Daily
Report Form, together with regular
pay roll form, etc.
All bills for material, etc., In
amounts less than SIO.OO must be cov
ered by Superintendent's Purchase
Order; large amounts by requisition of |
Superintendent and Department Pur
chase Order.
Caretakers are to be paid an hourly
rate, and full value in service will be
exacted for every .dollar expended.
Caretakers must he courteous and
considerate of the interests of the
public at all times, and conduct them
selves In a manner becoming repre
sentatives of the Commonwealth.
Sobriety, honesty. Industry, good
character, and ability are the essen
tials required, and a falling In any of
these will be met by dismissal.
The Patrol System for the mainten
ance of highways is new in Pennsyl
vania. but has been tried with great
success in other States. Chief En
gineer Uhler is an enthusiastic be
liever in this method. When he was
Maintenance Engineer In the Mary
land State Highway Department—
prior to his employment by the city
of Philadelphia as Assistant Engineer
of Highways—Mr. Uhler inaugurated
the Patrol System, and as a rsult, the
excellent condition of the Maryland
highways has been kept up and is a
source of comment to all tourists
traveling in that State.

PACKARD "TWIN SIX" DUE HERE
One of the greatest sensations ever
produced In the automobile industry re
sulted from the announcement by the
Packard Motor Car Company that they
would produce a "Twin Six" model ex
clusively for the coming season.
One of the principal reasons why
the Packard "Twin Six" has obtained 1
so much public notice since its first an
nouncement is because of the unusual
ability provided by Its exceedingly
simple twelve-cylinder motor. This
motor comprises two twin sets of six
cylinders each, set at an angle of sixty
degrees. By reason of this construc
tion and by further reason of the ex
ceedingly light weight and recipro
cating parts an unprecedented smooth
ness of action is obtained while at the
same time the engine is shorter and
lighter and results In noticeable gas
olene and oil economy. ,
The total weight of all the recipro
cating parts, is just one-half the weight
In the corresponding six-cylinder en
?ine and there are twice the number of
mpulses per revolution. Consequently,
the motor gives the most even torque
obtainable and runs absolutely without
vibration. This very compact construc
tion makes possible a shorter lighter
car with a shorter turning radius with
out reducing tho length of roominess
of the body.
Another feature that is attracting the
attention of all those who have seen
the car is the extreme simplicity of
design of the entire chassis and the
unexpected accessibility of ail parts
about the engine.
B. B. Harrington, local manager
of the Packard branch, states the ac
tivity of the car in all kinds of driv
ing, whether In town or on country
roads Is actually amazing, and has ar
ranged for a "Twin Six" to be In Har
riaburg for exhibition and demon
atratlng purposes on Friday, July 16
