AUTOS DAMAGE THE ROADS.
INJURY Already Done in Massachusetts,
Estimated at $4,000.

1T is hard to say what will BE- the
ultimate damage to the roads." said n
member OF the Massachusetts commits
sion to representative of the Boston
Globe; but it has recently been est
mated by the board that $50, zee dam
age has been done already by autos.
Ihis Is small in proportion to the
cost OF the roads, but unless some new
method OF applying surface is adopted.
the damage is likely to be continuous:
that Is, repeated as fast as It is made
good. There is something about the
broad rubber tires, on wheels of small
diameter, peculiarly damaging to ma
cadam roads. A vacuum is created
by the tire, which sucks the surface
or binder, from tho road, and It ia
blown away, leaving the stones ex-
posed. The commission is experi-
mendng with tar surfacing, which has
been used In France successfully. Ex-
periments have also been made by the
park commissioners with an oil hav-
Ing an asphalt base. Something new
must be adopted, and 1 have no doubt
Massachusetts will not be behind in
its adoption"
