With the center height known the side stakes may be obtained by using a spirit level on the top of the board. If side grade stakes are set, the cen- ter and "intermediate stakes- can be quickly set, by sight rods, are shown in Fig. 40. Rods are placed upright behind the stakes at M and N with the blocks D resting on their top. The " T '' is of con- stant height and the stake upon which it is held is driven until the line of sight from A io A' coincides with its top. Several notches are cut in t...he rods A, B, and C to facilitate setting intermediate stakes. The top is used for center stake, notches A for one-fourth distance-out; B, for one-half; and C for three- fourths. It is easier to sight these rods if the farthest one is painted white and the middle one a different color. Side Ditches. — The water having been shed from the road surface by the crown must be further taken care of. For this purpose side-ditches parallel to the center line of the roadway are constructed. These must have sufficient longitudinal grade to allow the water to flow along them until a place is reached where the natural formation of the land will allow it to flow away from the right of way.
