OHIO PIKE ROADS

w. R. Weisel has received a letter
from his brother living near the old
home place at Findlay, Ohio, telling
about the excellent pike roads they
are building in that region. They
are building one past the farm now.
1t is made of crushed rock twelve
inches deep, the lower nine inches
being of the eoarser rock and the
top is covered with three inch lay
er of screenings from the crusher.
The road way is made 10 feet
wide and the contract price for this
width is $3.50 per rod or $239O per
mile. At the same rate to make a
roadway Is feet wide like the one
being built near the new school
house would cost $3.50 per mile.
The plan of construction followed is
to put up plank 10 inches wide on
each side ard brace in position
with earth. The space inside is
then filled with 9 inches of the
coarser rock from the crusher and
the top layer of three inches of
screened rock is then put on and
the travel is allowed to do the pack
ing, no steam roller being used.
The roads have been thoroughly
tried out in the section of the Buck
eye state and have been found to be
most satisfactory. Not only are all
the main roads being thus macada-
mized but the branch roads. and
lanes are being improved and main
tanned in the same way.
