Governor Gives Thanks.

In closing the governor expresses his
thanks to the members Of the executive
council and to his other associates in
public office. concluding:
that the Legislative body will not be
wanting in devising liberal things in the
interest Of all the people, in avoiding
anything like eXtravaganve in eXpendi-
ture, while also avoiding that semblance
of economy that is only parsimony, and
remembering the truth of the scripture
which says. There is that scattereth
holdeth more than is meet yet it tendeth
to poverty that I close this paper. Con-
fident am that all the interests of our
state are safe in your keeping: that you
will labor for the greatest good not of
the greatest number but of all. Those
interests are all very dear to me. Here
has been my only home, from early
there was an Iowa on the map. 1 have

many places special trolley cars are made for
local postal and express service. and In the Vi
cinity Of very large cities one will sometimes
find that a certain style of low-platform cars
are provided by the steam roads for carrying
into town the heavy trucks of the market gar.
deners laden with fresh vegetables.
And now still another plan has been proposed.
A Toledo man, named Bonner. has devised
special truck which is designed to run on
street railway and to carry a farm or express
wagon Inasmuch as the ordinary vehicle would
not fit the truck Mr.. Bonner thinks II better to
have his own wagon well as his railway
truck He has taken out patent on the idea.
and has obtained franchise from the city or
Toledo for running his wagons through the
streets. AZ soon as he has MANUFACTURED ana
sold number Of his special wagons to the ex-
press companies in town and has also had
few Of his trucks made he will be In position
to take the wagons the trucks through such
streets have trolley lines. The trucks are IN
tended to be coupled 10 a trolley-car. and are
not provided with electric motors OF their own.
After the city service is fairly started Mr..
Bonner will endeavOr to secure rural patronage.
OF course il will be necessary for such farmers

the right sort OF wagons and TO haul them ny
horse power near enough to town TO reach the
trolley tracks. But in Ohio there are numerous
trolley roads extending from one town to an
other and attaining length Of ten. fifteen ana
even twenty-five miles. If farmer only lives
along one " these routes he will not need TO

wagons while they stand on the latter he VIII

States is behaving In a becoming and dignited
manner. and that there Is no reason why spain
should not enter into commercial relations with
her conqueror.
The "Vosssche Zeitung says: Spain is pre-

THE MODERN MACADAM ROAD.

IDEA THAT HAVE BEEN TRIED.


IDEA THAT HAVE BEEN TRIED.
A writer In Industries and from remarks
that Macadam at first tolerated stones large
enough TO pass through a ring two and half
inches in diameter. but afterward said that
amy stone which exceeds inch In any OF its
dimensions is mischievous." lie did not lay
foundations either. as Telford did But the
modern practice differs in this respect also
in the use OF some sort OF binding material 70

continues follows
Among the earlier notifications Of Macad-
ANS system which have since been adopted
with varying success may be mentioned that
of Thomas Hughes. who laid foundation OF
gravel and lime on which he placed an ordinary
macadamzed road. AS the substratum was less
liable TO work to the surface than soft soil. the
road retained its form longer and was less pro-
ductive of mud. Another modification was that
OF Mr. Bays. who first laid 3-inch bed OF -
inch cubes, which were allowed to become nearly
consolidated by the traffic. Upon this he laid
another 3-inch bed of similar cubes. covering
the whole with thin gravel binding. rms
was followed in his suburban practice. In roads
for towns Mr. Baylis laid a 6-inch bed oi granite
cubes at one operation. covering 1t atterwara
with a coat OF clean gravel or road-metal SCREEN
ings. ,.
Another modification was that OF Joseph
Mitchell OF Inverness who introduced system
OF concrete macadam. This consisted OF granite
cubes Of the usual macadam size spread
over the road 10 the required thickness:
strong grout Of Portland cement ana
sharp sand then well raked in, and the
road was rolled to a uniform surface. Roads
thus made were found to possess greater sold.

than ordinary macadam They were conse-
quently more durable. but after a time the sur
face was found to wear irregularly. owing prin-
cipally to it's rgdty and the difficulty OF secur-
ing uniformity in the admixture OF the ma
terials
"A good suggestion for the foundation OF Q
macadam road is a bed of Stag or hard foundry
refuse from inches TO Inches thick, when
does not choke but always affords natural
drainage. We believe this foundation has peen

our iron making districts. In place OF Stag
