| One of the beneficial results of the
American occupation of Cuba has been
the establishment of an adequate sys-
TEN of roads and the beginning of
construction. These roads are built
primarily for the marketing of crops,
but they are used extensively by au-
tomobiles as well. They are made uni
formly thirty-four feet wide, with SIX
teen feet Of macadam in the center.
The surface finishing Is placed on
foundation of ten inches of broken
rock, and they have no grades greater
than per cent Bridges are Of steel,
culverts of concrete. bitches are dug
in the low places, and the roadway is
generally elevated above the level or
the contiguous land The main road is
complete from Havana to San Girls
tobul and from Pinar del Rio to Es-
peranza, besides numerous short
branches

Method of Construction Valuable
For Dirt and Macadam.
PRACTICALLY SELF HEALING.

Oiled Highways Are Not Only DustIess
Mudless and Noiseless, but They I'm.
prove With Use-Oil Makes Roads
Firm, but Not Hard.
In the opinion Of H. L. Smell, who
has made a study of city and country
roads In twenty states in the last year,
more good roads will be built In Kan
sas during the next twelve months
than in any other state in the Union.
Mr.. Smell investigated road conditions
for the Standard Oil company. The
big trust is seeking a market for its
surplus of oil left after the more val
liable products have been taken from
it. The surplus oil is now sold chiefly
for fuel.
'"The company expects to build a
mile Of good road near the State Agri-
cultural college at Manhattan, Kan"
Mr.. Smell said. I'VE expect to show
by the experiment that an oiled road,
whether built with earth or crushed
rock is not only the most durable, but
in the end is the most economical
'In every state there is annually
spent millions Of dollars In building
new roads In few cases is any con
siderable sum spent on the roads to
preserve them. Oiled roads are not
only dustless, mudless and noseess,
but they are practically self healing
that is, they improve with use The
dirt and oil roads give horses good
footing, while the tires of the vehicles
iron out the hoof marks"
Experiments made on Kansas City
boulevards and on roads in Jackson
county, which were coated with oil,
have been watched by men and or
ganizations interested in good roads.
The use of oil on bouevards and roads
in Jackson county was among the ear
ller experiments in its use. Adopted
for use to prevent dust, 1t was found /
that oil also is a preservative. In his
report to the board of park commits
sioners on the use Of oils on Kansas
City boulevards, W. II. Dunn, superin-
tendent of parks, said the results were
remarkable"
The city paid an average of 771a
cents a barrel of forty-two gallons for

Bills For Batter Roads.

In the Iowa legislature two bills

The other bill places a tax of S5 on
