appears that now the Chinese registry
certificates are being forged on a large
scale. In a printing establishment az
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, across the river
from Fl Paso, were found plates from
which these certificates had been printed.
In the same establishment was discov-
cred a complete Photographic outfit
which made it possible to attach the
necessary photograph of the holder OF
the certificate to the document.
Two prominent Chinese merchants were
and indicted in connection with
this discovery and the plant was confs-
Gated. Many Of the Cinnamon deported
held certificates originating from the
counterfeiting plates. but II is estimated
that several hundred others, if not thou.
sands, are still at liberty.

EXPENDITURE OF 100000
BituminOus Highway Succeeds Mac
adam Pike with Advent of High
to State of Not Less Than $1,000
n MiIe-ResembIes Asphalt Street.

Since 1892. when a law providing that
New Jersey should pay one-third OF the
cost of the roads built by the twenty-one
counties Of the State went into effect.
there has been paid out about s. 10000 as
her share in the improvement of 1909
miles Of highways
These State-improved roads are OF the
broken stone type invented by John
Loudon Macadam, the Scotch engineer
and are known commonly by the term
''macadamized.' Their basic principle
consists OF the laying Of a foundation OF
hard rock broken into pieces that will
pass through an iron ring two and half
inches in diameter, over which are placed
layers Of smaller stones. the whole form
ing a compact and smooth mass.
So seryiceable have these roads proved
until within the past several years that
New Jersey gained a reputation OF pos
.sessing one OF the finest systems Of high
ways in the country.
Use BItumen Surface.
With the advent OF the high speed mo-
tor car, however, IL has been found that
the macadam roads tend TO disintegrate
and lose their surface largely II Is be-
Ieved. by reason of the suction exerted
by the broad automobile tires. To meet
this difficulty the State commissioner Of
public roads has made q number OF ex-
periments. the result Of which have led
him 10 adopt what IS termed a bitumin-
Gus road.
This type Of highway consists Of the
use OF the macadam base, but with a top
dressing composed either Of heavy as
phaltum oil, put on while heated to
about 200 degrees Fahrenheit. or OF a tar
preparation, The commissioner. in his
annual report, says that this type of
pavement resembles an asphalt street: in
fact. for suburban streets and country
roads it is just as desirable. While pos
sessing most Of the virtues OF an asphalt
street, Il is more resilient and less slip
perry, consequently better adapted for
horse travel It is as nearly dustless as
a pavement can be made and the surface
is not disturbed by the action of an au-
tomoblle passing over it"
Costs $1,000 Mile.
The average additional cost of this type
OF roadway over that Of the macadam is
estimated at from $1,000 TO $3.50 per mile
for a fourteen-foot width, the cost vary
ing according 10 the richness Of the top
dressing, the method by which II is put
on, and the locality Of the road improved.
AS an Offset. however. it is believed that
the maintenance Of these roads will cost
little or nothing during their first two
years. and after that period will not ex-
coed $50 per mile as compared with the
annual cost Of 500 for the proper up-keep
Of the macadam highway.
From this the inference has been drawn
that the bituminous road is to be the
road Of the future. although 1t will re-
quire tests of from five to six years to
Justify the accuracy OF this prediction.
