A road m ,de OF Charcoal

There is road leading from Washington county to
Dodge county, in Wisconsin, about seventeen miles
long, made of charcoal, and it has been successful
operation for two years The cost of this road was
from five hundred to five hundred and twenty dollars
per mile and the repairs to- the road have not exceed
ed five dollars per mile each year. The repairs were
necessary account of some roft spongy places in
the earth, where the coal not put with sufficient
thickness to prevent the ground from giving way under
the immense loads that pass during the
son. The number OF wagons that passed over this road
in the year ls47 5000, many of them carrying
$500 or 1000 pounds at load, and drawn by three
horses with perfect ease
The mode OF construction is, to cut down the trees,
place them the road, and up in making char
coal at a pit and then fired. When burnt, the coal is
raked down into shape, and with little earth thrown
on it TO I'll the inierstices, the road is complete
lit is quite common to construct roads in Britain with
the ashes of the bumnous coal burned under boilers.
Such roads, however, not TO be compared TO those
