The manner in which the citizens Of
Milton are taking hold of the matter of
procuring fire protection shows that they
are fully alive to the Importance of the
matter. The committee reported a week
ago that $4,000 had been raised. and
there were yet number of people who
had not been asked to subscribe. AS
soon as the committee appointed to learn
the cost of apparatus are prepared to re-

Building Macadam Fs0ads.

| The following suggestions in regard to
building macadam roads is taken from
circular No. 81, U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, and may be interesting read
| Jag to our Edgerton readers, inasmuch
| as we are in the midst of macadam road
| making:
The ever increasing demand for better
| highways has led to numerous attempts
which are being made all over the coun-
| try, to build what are supposed to be
| "macadam roads," They are mentioned
in the county budgets as we'll as in reso-
lutions for the improvement of city
Streets and the indulgent taxpayer
when his eye falls on the high sounding
name, takes satisfaction in the idea that
he is now to have highways of the most
modern type. But, alas, the attempts to
build stone roads are rarely successful,
for while much excellent material is of
ten employed, the methods employed are
generally deplorable. In too many cases
the men having the work in charge are
content to simply deposit the stone upon
the wighway, frequently throwing it
right into muddy spot, and doing moth
ing further after the material has been
put in place and spread In many of the
towns and cities where road roller can
be afforded, the officials undertake to
finish their work by placing layer of
dirt or gravel on top of the stone, and
then running the roller back and forth
over the surface until it seems hardened.
All these attempts at building macadam
roads are failures, when regarded from
the standpoint of intelligent and scienti-
fic road construction To build a maca-
dam road, the material should be put
down in layers, and each layer separately
rolled and compacted. To begin with,
the subsoil, which is to serve as a foun-
dation for the stone, must be properly
crowned, slopihg down from the middle
to each side of the road, and then it
must be rolled until it is absolutely hard
A Soft earth bottom cannot support a
stone roadway intended for ordinary
heavy travel. When a road is built upon
low ground, it should be drained. Water
| finding it's way beneath macadam road
unless quickly removed by drainage, will
soon ruin it. The stone used in each
layer should be of uniform size, as near
as practical. Unless the stone to be
used has been properly broken the road
can hardly be success. No stone larger
| than 215 inches should be used. If the
| bed of stone, when compacted, is to be
more than four inches thick, it should be
put down in two layers, the material for
| the upper layer to be smaller than that
used below, say not larger than l. 3 in.
