in any way disturbing that surface.
IF thin layer only of material is TO
be added at one time, in order that it
may unite firmly with the upper layer of
the road, it is usually necessary TO break
the bond of the surface material before
placing the new layer, either by picking
it up by hand or by a steam roller with
short spikes in it's surface Gig 4S), If
such machine is at hand. Care should
be taken in doing this. however, that only
the surface layer be loosened, and that

not disturbed, as might be the case If
the spikes are too long"
In repairing roads the time honored
custom Of waiting until the road has
lost its shape on until the surface has
become filled with holes or ruts should
never be tolerated Much good material
is wasted by spreading a thick coat over
such road and leaving it thus for pass
ing vehicles to consolidate. The mate
rial necessary TO replace defects in

ties arise and should be of the best
quality and the smallest possible guam

scarcely perceptible. If such repairs are

road builder should always remember
that without durable foundation there
Is no durable road. Hundreds of miles
of macadam roads are built in he United
States each year on unimproved or I'M
stable foundations and almost as many
miles go 10 pieces for this same reason.
Says Macadam:
The stone is employed to form a Sc
cure, smooth, water-Iight flooring, over
which vehicles may pass with safety and
expedition at all seasons OF the year. It's
thickness should be regulated only by
the quality of the material necessary TO
form such flooring and not at all by any
consideration as to its own independent
power Of bearing weight. The
erroneous idea that the evils of an I'M
derdrained, wet, ciayey soil can be rene
died by q large quantity of materials has
caused d, large part of the costly and
unsuccessful expenditures in making
stone roads"
Application of the material.--The evils
from improper construction of stone
roads are even greater than those result
ing from the use of improper material.

If this method of Speeding is employed,
grade stakes should be used so as to in
sure a uniformity of thickness. After
the stakes are driven the height of the
layer is marked on their sides, and il

is stretched from stake to stake, showing
the exact height TO which the layer

not only place the stone where it is need

it on in LAYERS of any desired thickness

If the stones have been separated into
two or three different sizes the largest
size should compose the bottom layer,

may in this manner frequently be kept
in good condition without great difficult
ty, while if not attended to at once when
wear begins to show it will very rapidly
increase, to the great detriment of the
road. In making repairs by this method,
the material is commonly placed a little
at time and compacted by passing We
hicles. The material used for this pur-
pose should be the same as that of the
road surface and not fine material, which
would soon reduce to powder under the
loads which come upon it. BY careful

sether the rnacadam crust in a way that
gives il firmness elasticity and dura-
bility"
Binding material TO produce the best
results should be equal in hardness and
toughness with the road stone; the best
results are therefore obtained by using
screenings or spalls from the broken
stone used. Coarse sand or gravel can
sometimes be used with impunity as a
binder, bat the wisdom of using loan or
clay is very much questioned When the
after material is used for a binder the

\ Telford Construction.--I'he character OF
the foundation should never take the
place of proper drainage. The advisable
ity of underground or subdrainage should
always be carefully considered where
the road is liable 10 be attacked from be-
meath by water In most cases good
sUbdrains will so dry the foundation out
that the macadam construction can be
resorted to. Sometimes, however, thor
ough drainage is difficult or doubtful,
and in such cases it is desirable TO adopt
some heavy construction like the telford !;
and furthermore the difficulty of procur-
ing perfectly solid and reliable roadbeds

animals. These plans of construction can
not be too severely condemned.
The roadbed tfig. 42) should be first
graded, then carefully surfacedrained.
The earth should then be eXcavated to
the depth to which material is to be
spread on, and the foundation properly
shaped and sloped each way from the
center so as to discharge any water
which may percolate through. This cur
vature should conform to the curvature
OF the finished road. A shouldering of
firm earth or gravel should be left or
made on each side to hold the material
in place, and should extend TO the gut
ters at the same curvature as the finish
ed road. The foundation should then be
rolled until hard and smooth.
Upon this bed spread a layer of 5 or G
inches of broken stone, which stone
should be free from any earthly mixture.
This layer should be thoroughly rolled

Macadam never intended that a hetero-
geneous congloineration of stones

macadam road. The mistake is often
made Of depositing broken stone on an
old road without first preparing suit

cases, is that the dirt and mud prevent
The stone from packing and by the action

stones sink deeper and deeper, leaving
the road as bad as before.

OF spreading large and small stones over

Macadam systems can most always be
determined by the local circumstances,
conditions, and necessities under Which
the road is to be built The former sys-
tenn seems TO have the advantage in
swampy, wet places, or where the soil is

the foundation is liable to get soft in
spots. Under most other circumstances
experienced road builders prefer the
macadam construction, not only because
it is considered best, but also because it
is much cheaper.
Macadam construetion.-The macadam
road Zig. $50 consists of mass of angu-
lar fragments of rock deposited usually
in layers upon the roadbed or prepared
foundation and consolidated to a smooth,
hard surface produced by the passage of
vehicles or by usf of road roller Zig.

road is expected TO have. 1t should be
go thick that the greatest load will not
affect the foundation. The weight usually
comes upon a very small part of the sur
face, but is spread over a large area OF
The foundation, and the thicker the crust
the more uniformly will the load be dis
tributed over the foundation.
Macadam earnestly advocated the prin-
ciple that all artificial road building de-
pended wholly for its success upon the
making and maintaining. of solid dry
foundation and the covering of this
foundation with q durable waterproof
coating or roof OF broken stone. The
