SIX HURT.
Auto Scsres Horses Hitched to
Truck Laden with Pleasure
Seekers.

An automobile climbing the ascent on
,the greensboro Bridge, lbs exhaust go
ing like gatling gun, frightened two
horses attached to drsy in which were
forty women and children, bent on an
outing, yesterday. The horses ran the
whole length of the bridge and dashed
the dray against an electric light pole
with such force that six persons were
injured.
The team was being driven by Ernest
Laskau, nineteen years old. AS the
automobile passed the horses plunged
away in fright. They got started down
the incline, the cries of the picnickers
adding to their fright. One of the reins
broke, and then, without any control,
the team forged ahead. Bridge Police
man Connolly saw them start and took
up the chase on foot. He came abreast
of them as they dashed off the plaza,

Effect of Motor Traffic on Ma
cadem Roads.

In an address to the Oneida Histori
cal Society at Utica, Clifford Richard
son, member of the American Society
of Civil Engineers, referred to the eff
feet heavy motor traffic has on macadam
roads, as follows:
There are several points in connection
with the road problem which have re-
ceived too little and demand the most
careful attention.
1t was the damage to French roads
caused by heavy motor traffic, and the
problem of how to meet it, which caused
the congress at Paris to be called.
The general opinion expressed at
Paris by the ablest English and French
engineers was that the road, to meet
modern motor traffic, must be con-
structed with more resistant surface,
which is brought about by introducing
into the wearing surface some bitumin-
Gus cementing material.
Experiments made by the Office OF
Public Roads show by instantaneous
photography that the damage to the
roads is produced by the rear or trac-
ton wheels of motor cars, and particu-
lary at speed above 25 miles an hour.
The force with which they were pro-
PEELED was sufficient to cause marked
slip upon the surface of the hard road
bed, such as is often seen in an eXag-
gerated manner on frozen surface.
A road near Lynn, in Massachusetts,
of almost perfect macadam construc-
ton, exposed to wind, sun and high
speed automobiles, had to be resurfaced
after single years service.
w. C. Carpenter, County Surveyor in
York shire, England, reported at the
Paris Congress that the maintenance of
roads in his district was 1882 per mile in
1890, and S79S in 1908. Mr.. Hooley,
holding the same position in Noting
hamshire, states that the maintenance
cost was formerly $3.50 per mile.
