A NEW SYSTEM OF aoApMAklNe.

Its Protector Claims Superiority and
Cheapness over tho Macadam.
Mr.. Clovis e. Reach of Burrillville, r.
l., at hearing before the joint special
committee appointed to inquire into and
report on the condition of roads in the
state of Rhode Island, explained a sys-
tenn of roadmalcng which in many re-
spects is different from any other. He
presented a communication from 81 Of
the residents of his town setting forth
that they had witnessed test of the
road and the result was very satisfac-
tory. The roadway proper is formed of
gravel or broken stone surface divided
into sections by means Of transverse lines
Of layer stones, which are flush with the
surface. These lines Of stone tend to
make the gravel or intermediate mate
rial proof against local disturbance from
the Unfortunately heavy vehicle wheels
or from the action OF rushing water.
Each side of the roadbed is hanhed by
q gutter filled in with broken stone or
cobblestones, which provides curbbke
structure to prevent the gravel from be-
ing unduly spread by the constant action
of the wheels. The roadbed is slightly
curving along the center, with slight
channel along the edges, where at suit
able intervals are constructed blind
drains that allow the water to escape in
the adjacent soil On an incline series
of oblique or transverse breakers or dams
are made to defect the water aside be-
fore it has attained sufficient volume and
momentum to be injurious.
Mr.. Reach claimed that his road was su-
perior to the macadam in many ways. In
relation to the financial side Of the ques-
ton, he believed that 81 would go as far
as Sc for other roads The road built on
the BHrrillvilie highway for test pur-
poses cost So per running rod, 8 feet in
width and from to feet in depth. In
some places it would cost less. In figur-
ing the cost he did not figure the cost Of
the stone. which was near by.-Provi-
dence Journal.

rn,.n.aa nsovement In Rhode Island.

This agitatiGn for good roads has now
become national There is no state in
the Union in better condition to meet
this problem and to solve 1t in practi-
cal, buinesslike manner The cost of
good roads will be smaller In Rhode Is
Land than In any other state because our
population is more concentrated, and the
burden of cost will be lighter because
we are almost the wealthiest state in the
Union. In less than two years our old
state debt will be wiped out, and we
shall be comparatively the richest and
most populous state in the country, free
from all membranes, with total val
uation of not less than 100000, 1000, or
about 81 100 per capita. 1t is fair es-
timation that it will take from 81 500, 900
to 81, 900, 900 to put our main roads in
Thorough condition.
The benefits arising from good roads
would considerably lessen the burden of
expense. We shall find relief in an in
creased valuation Of the land. The com
missioner of industrial statistics has been
inquiring into the number of abandoned
farms in tfisestate. Here are some of
the figures he has collected; In Burrill-
vile he finds that there are so abandoned
farms, representing $50, 100; in Coventry,
Greenwich, 65 farms. ISL representing $751;
700; in Scituate, 45 farms, representing
$4,000, and in Gloucester, 80 farms, rep
resenting $4,000.
/ do not pretend to say that better
roads will turn these abandoned acres
into fertile fields and rich pasturage. but
bad roads are to some extent responsible
for their present condition, and it is fair
to presume that there are a number of
them which would be taken up and
worked at profit if easier and cheaper
means Of bringing the produce to mar
ket were provided Many of them would
be quickly taken upas country residences
If they were made easy of approach by
good roads.
Popular as Rhode Island is as a sum-
mer resort, improved highways would
double the number of visitors that flock
to her shores. / believe the increased
value of land and reduced cost Of trans
portation will make the perceptible in
crease of the tax very small burden.
In fact, an expenditure for that purpose
may be regarded as a judicious and lu-
crative investment rather than burden.
The governor pointed out that there
was chance for Rhode Island to achieve
the distinction of being the first state to
have complete system of well con-
structed main roads.-Goyerno Browns
