128. ¶ To mende a hye-waye.

How to mend a road.

Let no water stand on it.

[Fol. 56.]

Fill up the holes with gravel.

About London they mend roads badly, putting in earth before the gravel.

Then the gravel sinks, and the road is like a quicksand.

They should use gravel only.

[Fol. 56b.]

This should be looked to.
