BRICK PAVING ON
COUNTRY ROADS
MANY SECTIONS OF THE UNITED
STATES FIND 1T BEST-FAcTS
AND PLAIN FIGURES-AN Ex-
CELLENT EXAMPLE Is FUR
NISHED IN PENNSYLVANIA.

Contracting Engineer. a publication
devoted to road building and other
associated work, gives an interesting
report of the resurfacing of macadam
streets at Easton, Pa. The data has
been taken from the annual report OF
John McNeal, city engineer Of the
city named. He has also given the
following additional information:
During 1908, 1852 lineaI feet of
macadamiZed streets, covering an area
Of 1924 square yards, were resur-
faced at a total cost of $6,376, or 30
cents per square yard. From the
damage to these roadways from
travel Of automobiles 1t is estimated
that renewal or Tesurfacing of
macadam streets under reasonable
amount of travel will be every three
years to keep this class Of roads in
fair condition, and when they are not
sprinkled regularly the deterioration
and disintegration is more rapid, be-
sides the dust becomes unbearable.
Bids for Road Work.
The state highway department OF
Pennsylvania is now asking for bids
for road work as follows: County Of
Tioga, main road; county Of Somer-
set, two roads; county Of Jefferson,
East Main street and Ridgway road:
TO be paved with vitrified brick, and
where the highway department let
contract for the paving Of these
roads in the counties, the boroughs
pave from an equal amount to double
the amount.
It has become imperative to use a
material that is not only durable IN
der traffic, but material that will not
be affected by the sun or deteriorate
from action OF the elements. While
paving brick roadways are more OK
pensive than macadam, no critic has
even attempted TO deny their service.
ableness or that this roadway IS not
largely more economical in a few
years than the many makeshifts that
have heretofore been used, besides
