COST OF GOOD ROADS.
The Novel Idea of One Man Who Is Evi.
dently kicker.


From the Allentown Chronicle.
A new contribution to the road ques-
tion comes from civil engineer of Pitts
burg. He calculates that to provide the
good roads, macademized and telford,
that the people talk about for the
United States would cost at least ST.
560,OOO,0O0, or about $120 per capita for
all the people of the United States. He
further shows that in many regions of
immense area, the stone road would be
impossible, as the hauling of the stone
to it would wear out more than the
load would make. In fact he thinks
there are not enough of available road
making stone in the United States to
accomplish the task.
Aside from this, he believes that the
stone road is behind the age. Superior
as it Is to the common dirt road 1t is
almost as far behind the iron track as
the dirt road Is behind it, He says the
railway, street car track and the tram
way all point the way of the future
road. The track for the wheel must
be of iron. 1t is the only material that
is unyielding to the wheel and smooth.
He advocates the laying of iron beams
from to s inches wide slightly con-
caved. He says it can be done for one
third of the cost of macadamized road,
and, even without providing any better
footing for revolution in trdtiic.
