large ruts. The openings of the former
being so small and the wheels bearing
the heavy loads of such large diameter
that the jar transmitted to the edge
of the concrete IS almost nil as the
vehicle passes over. For this reason
can not see how the presence of tenn
perature cracks, which would not have
tendency to be produced where the
sections are made every twenty five
feet, need to be considered seriously
unless one side Of the crack has set
tied or heaved so as to make the bed
uneven, as they generally occur at
right angles to the line Of the road.
The contract price OF this road was
a little less than 81 per square yard for
the grading and placing of the con-
crete. I would question If a road could
be built under the specifications Of
fered by Mr.. Page at that price. The
rolling would add from Is to 20 cents
per cubic yard Of stone over the all
concrete type. A third more stone
would be used, which would offset the
saving in cost that could be brought
about in the use Of inferior stone in
the bottom course. It costs more to
sprinkle water on a macadam road
than it does to draw a tank to a mixer
and hitch on to the empty one.
consider the main features in de-
termining the life of a concrete road
to be the following:
First: AS in any other pavement,
drainage. Not only get the water to
the side bitches but away from the
road entirely, so as to eliminate mois-
ture from the subgrade, and with It,
the danger of 1eaving by frost.
Second: Wearing surface. Stone Of
good wearing quality should be thor
oughIy embedded in good mortar. In
this district, trap rock or granite costs
more than gravel, and as a result, the
latter will be used to a greater extent
the coming season. The gravel con-
crete roads built by the board have
not been open to traffic long enough TO
determine which offers the greater re-
sistancA to wear. Morter ro.snoseA Of
