and i : sad that the good roads have
been the most powerful factors in at
tracing the tourist.
In the constructor II Of the gravel
roads the roadbed is graded to a
width Of about 80 feet from ditch to
ditch. The foundation is left practi-
cally flat. The gravel is spread on
! this foundation to a width Of from Is
to 20 feet, and to depth Of from q
to S inches III the center and + to 3
inches at the sides, the crown being
made Of the material itself. The
crown or slope from the center to the
sides averages from 3 to 4 inches.
This is an unusually slight crown. but
appears to be sufficient to shed the
water, and besides encourages traffic
TO use the whole surface. Earth
shoulders are built up on either side
from to 6 inches in depth to hold
the material in place. Rollers are not
used, the traffic being depended up
on to consolidate the material. The
surface is leveled off and dressed
two or three times with road ma-
chine while in damp condition, that
is. after the first two or three rains.
The writer inspected several miles
of these roads which had been built
about eight years, and which had not
been resurfaced during that time, but
in spite OF these facts they we're
still in first class condition.
The sand clay roads are built by
applying from 6 to s inches of sand
clay to the surface, which is then
shaped with road machine, and af-
ter being covered with thin coating
of sand is opened to traffic. Another
thing coating Of sand is applied after
the first two or three rains, if need
ed. This natural sand clay mixture
is found in many part Of the county,
and while it does not produce as good
road as gravel, it is much cheaper.
The gravel roads cost about from
$500 to $1,000 per mile. The mater
ial is secured from Steel creek. South
Carolina. which is about 33 miles from
Augusta. The material COST about 60
cents per cubic yard, loaded on the
cars at the pit. The freight cost $3.50
per car, the cars containing about 20
cubic yards each.
The excellence Of Richmond county
roads may be traceable not only to
the superior quality Of the material
and to the thoroughly practical meth
DDS of construction, but also to the
absence Of deep freezes and thaws-
