would not meet with his approval. Ii
was suggested to him that the turn
pixies might at least be made smoother
BY removing some OF the Hbumpers.s
oh, yea" said the Governor. that
might be d0n--we might take out some
Of the bumpers But we are not
making smooth roads Just for auto
mobiles, you know. What we want
is 70 set as many good hard roado as
possible"
The Governor was asked what gauge
roads the commlBHion expected to
build.
I'VE have not decided that point. : he
said. We have had Il under consid-
GRAFTON, but have come to no conclu-
sion. The general preference seems
% be for long roads. rather than vide
ones. That is, Il seems 10 be general
" felt that Il would be better TO build
as many miles as possible OF q narrow
Gauge road-~aRy a I2-fo0t road--thasi
BY building a wider road to reduce
its length. as would be necessary with
a limited amount Of money"
The Governor expressed much ln-
terest In 4 turnpike improvement ex-
pertinent begun on che Buckaystown
turnpike under the direction Of Hol-
mes D. Baker, OF Frederick. who. act
lng for the directors or the road, ls
having the turnpike surface torn up
with -ecariheF, drawn BY q traction
engine, and after Il has been rernado
with chushed stone, will have Il rolled
with . heavy steam roller.
Il am glad that ~ being done, the
Governor said. 1T will be Of great
help 70 the commission toknow what
can be done In the way OF improving
the turnplkes By this method and what
Z costs. We need information like
that
The Governor said the commission
was also looking into the matter OF
the use of tar and oil preparations AZ
binders for macadam on turnplken.
