EXPERIMENTAL ROAD.
Details of One That Has Given the
Best of Satisfaction.

Samuel S. Jones of Clinton. Wis.
furnished the following details of con
struction of an experimental road built
for educational purposes under the di-
rection of the Office of public roads,
with George l.. Cooley in charge:
This road WAS constructed in the
town of Clinton Rock county, Wis,
one mile east of the village of Clinton.
In the construction of this road all
the machinery was furnished by the
government at no expense to the town.
The town. on its part. furnished all the
labor and material.
This road commenced at the top of
n clay hill and extended down the
side to and across Il black muck
slough Thus we had the advantage
of observing the construction of and
finishing under the different soil con
dtiOnS. The road was first graded to
Il width of thirty-siN feet from gutter
to gutter. The trench for receiving
the crushed rock of which the road
was constructed was twelve feet wide.
This trench was Shouldcrcd evenly at
the edges. The bed of the trench or
roadbcd was brought to n perfect
grade, having Il crown of thrcc-fourthS
inch to the foot from the center Of
crown to the side shoulders.
"When the roadbcd was in proper
shape for the Superstructure cross
drains were put in at intervals Of 100
feet These drains, which were from
eight to ten inches deep and one foot
wide, were filled with coarse crushed
stone and extended to the outside gut
ter thereby inSuring perfect drainage
for the road when finished.
The suprrStructure was built Of
limestone the first layer being crush
ed to a size which would pass through
a three inch ring This layer was then
rolled thoroughly ard covered with Il
finer grade of stone and again rolled.
This method of placing on layers and
rolling was continued until fourteen

Japan's Good Roads.

Japan is peculiarly we'll off In re-
spect of good highways. The Tokaido,
which runs from Kyoto to Tokyo, is
over 300 miles in length and is admi-
rably constructed. There is also the
Nakascndo, which IS even longer and
passes through some of the finest seen
cry in the world The reason of
Japan's excellence In the matter Of
roads Is that in the old days-not so
very long ago-the daimios, or terri
torial mobiles, had to journey to Tokyo
once a year in order to pay their re-
spects to the sovereign. They Travelled
by road with great retinucs, and If
the highways were not in perfect con-
ditiOn fcudal justice was metcd out to

During the rolling process water was
sprinliled on the different layers of
stone to help cement the stone togeth-

for traffic When the road was COM
pleted as far as the coarser stone and

The surface of the road reached that

forced into it. The finishing OF the

wide on each side Of the stone drive
