"Old Macadam Will No Longer Stand
Strain Of Automobile"

Nelson p. Lewis. chief engineer OF
the board Of estimate of the borough
of Manhattan. New York city. believes
that the roads Of every civilized coun'
try will have to be rebuilt because
the old macadnm. the best thing until
now for highways. Is unable to stand
the grind OF automobiles RMdS will
have to be rebuilt to suit automobiles.
because the automobile is a good thing
for roads of the kind that can bear Its
peculiar pressure. Speaking on this
subject recently. MIR Lewis said:
"While | believe that only a bitumi-
nous substance. such ns tar. asphalt or
mineral oil. should he used as binding
material for loose rock and sand in
place of water and that all our roads
should be rplaid. as they must be soon
er or later. many engineers seem to
think that by spreading cohesive
mixture over the surface of the roads
as they are will be all that Is required
Some others believe that new mac
adam may be laid and the surface
treated with this bituminous mixture.
They assume that II will penetrate
through and make the rock fittings
fast.
"On one point there IL no disagree
ment 1t Is that no roads anywhere
except those newly built according to
some of these more modern processes
are able to withstand automobile traf-
ic. When vehicles were drawn by
horses the only damage done to the
roads was by the horseshoes. The
drawn vehicle was benefit to the
road. having the effect of steam roll.
