highway. in Knox county, Me. Ii Is
eighteen feet in width, Thoroughly
drained and cost only so cents per foot'
or s2.64O per lineal mile. This low
cost was possible because stones OIL
snitable size for the lower courses
were beside the road and granite chlps
were had for the mere hauling from tiie
grout beaps of quarrles close by the
road. A description of this road says
that it's cutters carry away every drop
Of water. The lower course of the pea
Is of stones of varying sizes, none 50
big that a man could not alone handle
each. and they were so placed as 10
tend TO bind themselves together' al
though they were fitted together rather
roughly. Smaller pieces were tnen
fitted into the crevices of this lower

men went over this and broke up an!
hits which were too large. On THESE
were spread granite chips from TIT
refuse heaps of the adjoining quarry
This top dressing was compacted VIII
