n Is obvious that In the race for money-makingf Americans have paid little attendon to their roads no doubt unin-tentionally ignoring the fact that thehigh cost of food must uecessarlly bohigher so long as the farolll Is dependent upon railroads as the meansfor bringing the products from hIsforms Into the markets of a populouscity ThIs reminds us or the recentmeetings held In our own city of SnitLake relative to the high cost of litii g Glen good roads the farmer

Hitherto main or county roads InEngland and France have been builtup from eIther broken slag or granite-and with the introduction or motortraction engine and automobile trafficthin sort of road has been very accessi-bie for such kind of trartlc Todayboth those countries owing to the everincreasing motor and faction enginetraffic find themselves faced with theproblem of reconstructing the whole orthe main arteries leading to largelypopulated cIties and towns Americahas not yet been brought face to facewith this modern selfpropelled trafficto any great extent for the single reason that hOI roads as now generallyconstructed are not suited for suchtraffic

COST OF MLUNTDNANOEThe cost of maintenanco on macadam

roads In England through the adventof selfpropelled haulage traffic haspeeome so great an Item of expenditurethat appeals to the government for

Writer refers to the bIrth and increaseor selfpropelled haulage traffic In EngThe country is divIded Into counties rural districts urban districtboroughs anti cIties In dOlllng withEnglish road construction It Is well tonote that the arrangements as regardsdrainage and its disposal are as nearperfection fiS can be The first essentlal for u good road Js a good foundation after that drainage and if pOSIble waterprOOf surface A n practicalrend makers are agreed that the onlypractical vay to make a good road andto keep It us such is to first put In agood fountlaton and then keep the watel out ot It

IN nl BAT DISTRICTSIn rural llstrlcts or England and inprivate streets that is streets thatIlllve not been adopted by the authorltles the genoal modus operandi Is totlrst excavate and remove 12 to HInches or dirt and then place on endside lay side sandstone pitching aboutnine Inches long and fill the Interslices with broken rubble sandstoneand well roll and consolidate Thismakes un excellent foundation which Isstrong enough to carry continuousweights up to four and five tons distrlhuted on oUlwheelCd vehicles On

this foundation live or six Inches ofbroken macadam is then well rolledwith a steam roller As fur us practlclbte they cumber should be just sufl1cient for draining the water off theroad so as to distribute the traffic I

evenlyNew roads In rural lstllctsare made up In similar manlier but

rural roads already macadamized butIn such condition as to require re-making are being reconstructed onwhat they term the GladwellThis system has upset the whole theoryor tho old style of macadam road maIing The practise or building the metal together with hogging which is-practlcatly road sweepings and outerforced Into the Interstices from the tophas been substituted with the following

MACADAM ROADSThe old madam road Is scarrlfiedjust sutliclently to disturb the old met

al and on this scarrlfied surface a thinlayer of lint granite or slagtratel1 withhot tar or pitch and creosote Is spreadUpon this tarred material the ordinarybroken slag or granite Is distributedup to three Inches or four Inches thickThe whole surface Is then well rolledwith steam roller

The pressure on till lop layer orgranite or slab spues or forces the tarred material Into the voids fromthe bottom The results of this systemhave been most encouraging and satis-factory Life is added to the materialused owing to the use or tar and adustless surface formed Tho cost InEngland of n road treated In this man-ner Is not more than G per cent overthe old way and this Is more thancovered by the extra life of the rondoMacadam roads predominate In all urban distrIcts throughout England Thetraffic passing over these roads Is notnecessarily ns heavy as that whichpasses over the main county roads Itmust be observed that automobile trafJlc Is very frequent and has been veryconsiderably increased NoiselessnessIs something which has to be considered owIng to the residential nature ofthese distrIcts Instead of ordinarymacadam these roads are being large-ly converted Into tar mac roads ThisIs two Inches or two and a half inchesbroken granite or slag treated wIthtar and bonded with n tarred slagor granite dust The life of these tarmac roads Is about double that of theordinary macadam besides the elimination ot dust which is something muchto be desired Slag is more susceptibleto tar treatment than granite owIng toits porous nature-

ASPHALT AND WOOD BLOCKSIn the shopping centers or the largo

cities and towns of England the principal form ot paving Is either asphaltor wood blocks The former Salt Lakers are familiar with It significanthowever that a considerable portion otthe wood blocks used for road andstreet paving In England are shippedover from this western part of America They measure from three Inchesto four Inches It width five or sixinches In depth and seven Inches inlength These blocks are creosotedand are laid on a bed of concrete Thejoints are made with a composition otpitch and creosote It makes an idealpaving as far as appearance and noiselessness are concerned but Is slipperyand greasy it damp weather The lifeof such paving is anything from nine to14 years according to traffic conditionsand Quality or wood used

The kind of paving used In the largemanufacturIng districts and aroundand about the docks of seaport townswhere traffic conditions are congest-ed and heavy Is prIncipally granitepaving These setts are cut fromgranite blocks to any or the followingdimensions 4xG Inches 4x5 inches 3xG

inches 3x5 incites and 4 inches cubeThe length ot the sett varies from i-

to 10 Inches They are clean cut InvarIably laid on concrete and as a rulethe joints grouted with pitch and creo-sote Sometimes the joints are halttllled with pitch and creosote so as tobe absolutely waterproof and thenfinished with cement and sand one tothree The life ot a granite sett pav-ing where traffic conditions are veryheavy Is from 20 to 26 years

ENGLANDS MAIN ROADSAdverting to the question ot main

roads ot England those arterIes whIchlink together the manufacturing townsof the country the upkeep or which isso essential to tho best commercIal Interests of the manufacturing commu-nities We must remember that theirorigin frequently dates bade to thedays of the Romans so that the accumulation or granite slag or otherhard material which had been used IntheIr construction has been accumulating all theso years and forms-n foundation even LOtter than concretewould be The natter of self propelledhaulage trame has already been notedas beIng the cause for necessitatingthe reconstruction of these main roads

Tho writer has also suggested thatn system of reconstruction to suitmodern requirements both as regardsto automobile trnll1c as well ns theheavier kind has been brought underthe serious consideration of road engineers hath In England and FranceThis is also II Question that mustsooner or later force itself on the backsof American engineers and municipalcouncils So far the host substitutewhich is claimed by nil who late gl-

tel and has been universally adoptedIn Germnny Austria Italy and othercountries in Europe It has proved unexcellent armoring for macadam roads

I BUILDING METHODSThe method employed Is to scarrlfy

about four Inches front the top of anexisting macadam road the macadamtaken oft the top can always hoscreened and used agaIn on some oilierroad well roll and consolidate thescarritied portion and then lay threeand a half to four Inch granite cubesside by side In segmental rows on alayer of sand just sufficient to bedthe cubes The surface Is well rammedwith GO Ib wooden ramnters amt tinesand is lynched Into time joints withwatr rime wMhlng process consolldates the sand Into the joints so thatIt becomes hard like sandstone at thesame time artordlng a certain amountof reslllenc Laying the cubes Insegmental rows creates a cotslderable number or concentric joints Theresult Is an excellent foothold forlioness a splendid surface for nutol11ohlles and a very durable roadway forheavy traffic

Engineers who have laid thIs system claim It is practicaliy noIselessand dustless The cubes placed so asto form rings distribute the load ona ttIteel over a larger area than If setIn straight courses and no doubt thisalso accounts for the noiselessness Inappearance It resembles a broad mo-saic It Is pleasing to the eye nailfrom a hygienic point of view ox-

sellent as It can be flushed with W-ater the mama as at asphalt road It Is

I very much cheaper to lay than asphaltand much more safe for horsesMachines for rapping off the cubes areeasily obtainable The cost In EnglandIs about 20 per cent more titan macadarn but the life many times longerSome of these roads have ben laid inGermany 25 or 30 years and are Inexcellent condition today

THE DUST PROBLEMThe dust problem Is a question that

appeals to all For treating macadamroads the most effective Is by the application of tar Many engineers paintmacadam roads with tar but whileexcellent results havo becn obtainedIn England the sun would perhapsinterfere with such gratifying resultsIn this country Having regard to theclimate here the writer Is decidedlyot the opinIon that spraying the macadam roads with till under pressure would ho both economical and-effective The Toad to be treated-should first be thoroughly swept andthe tar sprayed on the road front ntar spraying umcltine The tar shouldbe boiling It can under pressure beforced Into the Interstices or the ma-cadam and usually lasts aboutthreemonths Machines self propelled carbe obtained easily enough The savingas regards tar spraying versus watersprinkling during tho summer seasonIs considerable There Is a portabletm macadam machine on the market InEngland It can be taken to the roadsidewhere slag or granite is laying Aman feeds It with the material to betreated at one end the material passesthrough a riddling process hot allchamber tar bath and comes out atthe other end tar macadam The

machIne will treat about 50 tons porday

POOR AS ROAD BUILDERSIn England the ways and means for

the poor man owning his own home areas many and varied as In this countryThe high rates of wages do not operate there as In this country but thecost or property Is not so hIgh Thuterms and advantages offered arc asa rule more seductive Every owneror property whether it be the individualWorkingman owner or the larger in-
