road makers prefer to have the
metal thoroughly screened. When
this is done the road should be
built in the following manner {:
After the foundation has been care
fully prepared, the coarse screened
stone is spread on the road to the
depth of about four inches and
thoroughly rolled. The fine screen
ings are then spread on top of this
to the depth of about two inches,
and also thoroughly rolled. 1t may
be well to give the screenings a
liberal sprinkling of water before
rolling, as this will aid in compact
ing and binding. The city of
Bridgeport, Conn, has over fifty
miles of roads built in this manner.
and, according to Mr.. D. B. Pierce,
the street commissioner, it gives
entire satisfaction and is easily and
cheaply maintained. The perman-
ence and durability of the roadbed
will depend largely on the quality
of stone used in its construction.
The best material for this is trap
rock, after which comes felsite or
flint, and then comes granite. AS
regards the latter, however, it diff
fers in quality, that containing
hornblende being preferable to
those with mica. The latter is soft
and should not be used unless it is
difficult to get any better material.
Then good judgment must be exer-
cised in the selection of the machin-
cry to be used in the construction
of such roads as have described
as it will have an important bearing
on the matter of cost. A good road
machine, wheel and drag scrapers,
road plOws and road roller are
essential in preparing the founda-
ton. The question of cost is the
all important one in road making.
Naturally the better the road the.
greater the cost. In section of
country that is well supplied with
improved machinery, where the
stone to be broken can be obtained
free of cost, and if in close prox-
unity to the road which is to be
built, thus saving long and expen-
sive hauls, mile of the first kind
of road described, (where the road
metal is not screened, six inches in
depth and from ten to twelve feet
wide should be built for from $1,000
to $1,000. Where the road metal is
screened, as in the second kind of
road described, the cost would b.
increased probably 5000 to the mile.
To make round numbers we will
place the cost at $500 per mile for
first class road, at per cent in
terest and 5 per cent reduction of
principal, making 10 per cent an
nual payment, would save money to
the commonwealth and pay for
macadamiZed roads in 20 years,
the reduction Of interest on ac-
count of the yearly payment of
principal being sufficient to defray
all necessary expenses for repairs.
The entire expenditure of money
with exception of the machinery
alone, flowing directly into the
pockets of our own commonwealth
who will not only reap for them
selves rich reward for their labor,
but hand down to posterity an in
heritance that will be beautiful
memorial written upon a tablet of
their own construction, that will
last until Gabriel with one foot
upon the land and the other upon
the sea shall sound the last
trumpet.

should pass through a two-inch
ring. No clay or other substance
should be mixed with the stone, as
it is positively injurious. The
stone should be spread on the road
way to the depth of six inches.
Many writer's contend that in this
climate less than ten inches in
thickness will not give good results,
but it has been practically demon
strated that where the road is
thoroughly made, six inches of ma
terial, and even less, will secure a
first class roadway, which, with
proper care, will last for years.
MaeAdam in his writings often
speaks of three or fOnr inches being
sufficient thickness for the road
metal. OF course the thicker the
metal the longer the road will last.
but the main object in the first con
struction is to avoid ali possible ex.
pense, and six-inch roadway will
cost much less than a ten inch one.
The whole secret of stone road
making is to build the super
structure firmly and compactly
together, so that it will be entirely
impervious to water, and in order
TO obtain this result the stone must
be thoroughly rolled after it has
