ington county, for example, brick roads
are being built at a cost of only $1,000
to $1,000 per mile more than macad-
amized roads would cost, and it has
been found that the cost of maintain
ing the latter viii in six or-eight years
consume all the difference After that
the maintenance of the stone road con
tinues increasingly expensive, while
the properly constructed brick road
will under ordinary conditions need
no repairs for an indefinite period
One OF Washington couuty's farmers
observed, The first cost of a stone
road is only the beginning Of the eX-
pense; the brick road is an asset
Here, as elsewhere it has been found
that the best argument for brick roads
is-a brick road Two on three years
ago the first one was built for dis
tauce of half mile along the Ohio
river where the road is flooded two
or three times a year and where it was
conceded that no other kind of a road
would stay put" for 4 single season.
The brick road stayed and every farm
er who drove into Marietta over that
road is clamoring for its extension.
At the time of my visit to Wasting
ton county last fall the commissioners
were. finishing two new brick roads
One up the Muskingum valley is six
teen feet wide with two feet Of gravel
outside the curb and two feet of earth
BERN outside the gravel practically
a twenty four foot roadway. Here the
brick is laid on a seven to eight inch
gravel base with concrete curb, brick
curb and BERN all rolled TO an even
surface. The cost of this road was
$11 800 a mile, and it was built under
state aid law.
On the west side of the Muskingum
river on the ridge above Marietta, they
We're building a ten foot brick road.
This road was built on Il direct levy
made by the county commissioners,
and the fact that they dared to make
such a levy proves how generally pub
lie sentiment approves this kind Of
road building. This road has a broken
stone base with two feet of stone and
two of earth BERN, making an eight
cen foot roadway. The curb on this
road is of brick. While this is the
cheapest of all curbing, opinions differ
as to its permanence Certainly the
BERN must be kept up most carefully,
as any falling away of the support
will let the curb down. The cost OF
the different curbs used was put at
81 900 a mile for stone, 81. $50 to $500
for concrete and 81, 800 to $1,S00 for
brick. This ten foot road cost about
the same as the sixteen foot-S1l,S4O
for 6,000 fect-owing to the fact that
it was laid out among the hills, where
the grading was heavier the hauls
longer and harder and cracked stone
used in place of gravel.
The ten foot roadway re-enforced with
eight feet of stone and earth BERN
seems wide enough for ordinary coun-
try roads and met the approval of most
farmers interviewed. There was a
pretty general sentiment. however, in
favor of sixteen foot roadwayS on the

the following outspoken way His Holi-
