the always difficult problem OF dusty

Hubbard to conduct them. The mo-

While experts are laboring with

STATE ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

Two of the amendments to the Mis-
souri, constitution to be submitted at
the election next fall will relate to
proposed road improvements.
One of the Missouri amendments
would permit special levy of 10 cents
on the 500 valuation on all property
subject to taxation, to be collected by
the state as a special state road tax.
The other amendment referred to
would give all county courts the option
to make a special levy of 25 cents on
the 800 valuation to create a road and
bridge fund for each county.
Last year the Missouri legislature
took a more active interest than usual
in roads. 1t distributed among the
counties or that purpose $475,OOO re-
ceived from the government for war
claims, and also appropriated $500 0'p
for permanent roads on condition that
local communities provide a sum equal
to their allotment of state money.
At the beginning of the year a new
system of working the roads took ef-
feet, with state highway engineer in
charge and county highway engineers
appointed by the county courts. Com
pensation for road dragging is now al
lowed.

bases, with natural soil and sand and
compacting the preparation so formed
with q tamping roller. One stretch OF
this peculiar class of highway will be
under construction within few days.
The oiled roads of California have
saved millions of dollars to the farm
ers and fruit growers of that fertile
state in the last few years by sup
pressing the dust that formerly arose
in binding clouds with the passing OF
every vehicle. Those dust clouds,
floating to adjacent fields and orchards,
deprecated the price of farm produce
and lowered the values of real estate
to startling degree. The sprinkling
Of oil was tried and the dust was held
in check Then some of the roads
were plowed and the oil mixed with
the earth and the mass firmly rolled
to a properly crowned surface. Splen-
did results followed in most instances.
Kansas has long been dust-ridden
and the oiled roads now to be built
there will, it is hoped, prove as bene-
fetal to the people of that common
wealth as the California roads have
to that state.
There is now in course of prepara-
ton a comprehensive treatise on Dust
Prevention which will fall from the
presses of the Government Printing
Office in few days. Following it in
a few weeks will be symposium EN-

methods now in use in France and
