CULVERTS AND SMALL BRIDGES FORCOUNTRY ROADS INNORTH CAROLINA By C. R. THOMAS and T. F. HICKERSON INTRODUCTION The rapid progress made in the improvement of roads throughout theState in the past few years has led to the demand for a much betterclass of culverts and bridges than it has been the practice heretofore tobuild.
