rural highways and would last longer
He writes about It as follows
First prepare the road bed, having II
well turnpiked. then In rs center dig
two parallel trenches eight inches
wide the inside walls being about forty
inches apart. Then ill the bitches mp
with good concrete, in blocks about
four feet long, the concrete being
built similar to the manner of build
ing sidewalks but no top dressing
being used, and the concrete being
rounded or crowned in the center
with still more rounded or inclining
corners.
To build a mile OF this Kind Of road
will require \. 500 cubic feet of concrete
which could be built for ten cents per
cubic foot or $3.50 per mile The space
between the concrete can bs filled in
with gravel. soil or stone for the foot

side OF the concrete must also be level.

have been afflicted with eczema for
years and have tried everything with
out being relieved should take fresh
courage, for the new remedy Cadum

periments Cadum was the outcome.
