MACADAM ROAD COSTS $500 MILE:
STATE COMMISSION EXPERIMENTS

The state highway commission is
pushing as rapidly as possible the con-
struction of a number of experimental
roads in various sections of the state.
There has been much delay in getting
this work started, owing to the nego-
tiations it was necessary to take up
with the various railroads for freight
rates. This has permitted to begin at
some points and to be delayed at 9TH
erS.
One stretch of road has been COM
pleted at Salem. This road is situated
in Salem township, just outside the
limits of the city of Salem. The high
way commissioners of Salem township
applied for broken stone. which was
furnished them, and a piece of road
built by the local commissioners; ow-
ing to the lack of proper methods, the
road thus laid was poorly made The
state highway commission completed

Southern Illinois penitentiaTy at Men
ard. The freight on the stone over the
Illinois Southern railroad was paid in
ballast
The contrast between the portion
of road built with the steam roller and
that upon which the roller was not
used, furnishes a most striking illustra-
ton of the Importance of proper equip
ment and technical experience in high
way construction.
The improved piece of road is at
tracing a great deal of attention To-
cally, and the travel over other routes
in the vicinity is almost entirely di-
verted to the new road, in spite of the
fact that the distance is thus increased.
There is another interesting piece
of road work in the vicinity of Salem,
which has been carried on through the
efforts of John NJ. Greene, who for the
past six years has dragged and kept
in excellent condition one mile of road
near his farm. During the past winter
it is said that the Greene road was the
best piece of road in the county. This
piece of road has been kept in better

The width of the macadam is about
IA feet and put on inches deep; part
of the work was resurfacing the road
laid by the local commissioners, at the
end of which was about 600 feet of
newly constructed road. The exact
cost of this work cannot be ascertain
ed, owing to lack of records on the
work done prior to that under charge
of the state highway commission. The
estimated cost of this work per mile,

grade, hauling the stone a distance of
about a mile and a quarter, spreading
and rolling. is about $500 The ma

Druggists Extend Closing Hours
Decision has been reached by the drug
gists of the city to extend the number
of hours during which the stores will
be closed on Sundays and holidays. A
paper which has been circulated has
been signed by the druggists to close
their places of business from II noon
to p. m. every Sunday during the
year except during the months of No
vember, December, January and Feb
ruary, when the days are shortest, and
the stores will be opened at 5 p. m.
The same closing hours will prevail on
holidays also, thereby affording more
time in which the drug store men may
enjoy a respite from work. The old
plan provided for Sunday closing and
holiday closing between the hours Of
1 and 5 p. m. all the year. Various
efforts have been made in the past to
increase the number of hours closed,
but never has there been unanimous
sentiment on this matter. Thirteen
drug stores are affected by the agree
ment.
