a great deal to destroy the confidence

he said that limestone was satstac-
tory. He also said that stone roads
are built i'm most cases according TO
the principles laid down by John L..
Macadam. while some are built on the
methods encouraged by Telford.
Speaking of road building In Sus-
sex county General dupont said that
to his knowledge they never prepare
the road bed or foundation but dump
the stone. gravel or shells on the old
bed and In the holes and ruts After
