TRACK AND SECTION OF ROAD.

TRACK AND SECTION OF ROAD.
ity. The rails are not dependent on
any system of cross ties for support,
but where the ends of the rails are
Joined the joints are firmly bolted to
common cross tie which also helps to
maintain the rails at a uniform dis
tance apart and to keep their surfaces
horizontal.
On the score of expense the steel
roadway is not extravagant, viewed
in the light of the long service and low
cost of maintenance that may be ex-
pected of it, Of the experimental sec
tions thus far built, it is said that the
total cost has been not far from one
dollar per foot, but in the event of
building such roads on a large scale
this cost can no doubt be reduced by at
least 80 per cent.
In Europe we may find a few interest
ing examples of steel road construction
in small way. The road between Grao
and Valencia in Spain was completed
in its present form in 1892. 1t is two
miles in length and consists of parallel
steel rails laid at a suitable distance
apart to accommodate the wheels of
passing vehicles. At each side of the
rails are layers of binding stones, the
road between the rails being paved
and slightly higher than the face of the
rails.
Previous to 1892 this road was con-
structed of flint stone, and on good au-
thority the expense of keeping it in re-
pair is stated to have been $500 pesetas
or about S532 annually. Since the adop-
tion of the steel rail system the annual
cost of keeping in repair the central
portion of the highway thus relieved
from heavy traffic which passes over
the steel rails, is stated to be only $500
pesetas ior about $3.50, at the current
rate of exchange.
This road has attracted some little
attention, and in response to inquiries
from various parts of Spain and else
where the municipality of Valencia has
made statement to the effect that it is
the opinion of its officers that the saw
ing in the cost of repairs by reason of a
road of this kind pays for its construc-
tion in a short time.
The total cost of the two miles of
road was little less than $4,000; 5000
vehicles pass over it daily, and toll
of about three-fourths of a cent is
charged each vehicle.
The most interesting fact in regard
to this road is that after eight Years of
service it is still in good condition, the
rails exhibiting a wear of not more than
three one-hundredths of an inch an
nually and requiring little or no atten-
tion of any kind.-Country Gentleman.
