DIX FAVORS MOVEMENT To

Agrees With Superintendent of Pris-

Albany.-With Governor Dix pre-

Prisons Scott in efforts he may make
to have capital punishment abolish
ed in New York state and bill under
preparation to accomplish this pur-
pose indications are that the ques-
ton of doing away with the death
chair will be brought squarely before
the legislature for action.
The interview quoting Colonel Scott
as opposed to the taking Of life by
the state, was responsible for a series
of happenings that provoked unusual
interest in the question and caused
senators and assemblymen to as
sumo opposing positions with respect
to how they will vote on the bill.
When the interview with Colonel
Scott was shown to Governor Dix he
read with interest the reasons given
by Colonel Scott for believing that
capital punishment does not act as a
crime deterrent. Governor Dix said:
Il am in sympathy with Colonel
Scott's views on the subject 1 think
it would be the right thing to do"

SOME GOOD
ROAD POINTERS.
Suggestions to Supervisors on
the Care Of Highways.
SIMPLE BUT USEFUL DON'TS.
Expert Tells How to Keep a Road In
Good Condition and Avoid Trouble.
Don't Be Satisfied, He Says, With
Anything but the Best.

Excellent advice on the care and con-
struction of roads is contained in the
following set of suggestions to road SUI
pervisors, which We're compiled by
Robert A. Meeker, state supervisor Of
roads in New Jersey:
Don't leave grass and weeds on the
shoulders and in the cutters.
Don't dig the mud out of the cutters
and throw it upon the road.
Don't leave dirt in piles on the road
Don't throw grass and weeds upon
the road surface.
Don't dump stone or gravel on an old
road without first preparing the sur
face to receive it, because you thereby
cause willful waste and woeful want.
Don't place new material on the road
without leveling and shaping it so that
the grade and cross section of the road
will be unchanged.
Don't expect travel to spread and roll
the new material. Onehalf Of the mon
ey spent is wasted by this method.
Don't put new material on an old
hard road surface before first picking
or loosening the old covering 1t is

sFCTIOE OF THE ROAD BEFORE BEING RE
PAIRED.
summer months. 1t is located in a
sandy stretch, where the scarcity of
stone and the distance from a railroad
would have made macadam road
very costly. While the entire length
Of this sand oil road cannot be termed
success, still certain portion shows
that sand mixed with a suitable bind
er will afford a surfacing that will
withstand modern traffic and do away
with the dust nuisance.
The surfacing is n mixture of sand
and asphaltic oil, and while the meth
cd of construction was the same
throughout, various kinds of oil We're
used with different results. Where
the lighter oils were used it took a
longer time for the road to become
hard, and in some places the surface
was never hard during the heat of the
day. But where the thicker and more
viscous binder was used the surface
became hard and firm and could be
opened to traffic in about six hours.
The road was graded as for ordinary
macadam, and the sandy subgrade was
hardened with about three inches of
clayey loan, after which it was shaped
and rolled and was then ready for the
sand-oil mixture
The work was performed by a con-
tractor 1t was found necessary in
order to obtain the best results to heat
both the sand and the oil. The con-
tractors plant was composed of six
ovens used for heating sand, four 100
gallon kettles for heating the oil, two
horse roller and the ordinary hand
TOOLS
Many ways for mixing the sand and
oil were tried, but it was finally decid-
ed that the following was the quickest
and gave the best results: A bottom
less measuring box that would hold
fifteen cubic feet was placed ON the
platform, and while one man contin-
ually shoveled in sand from the front
of the oven another dipped oil from an
oil carrier Two men, one at each end
of the box, constantly raked the sand
and Oil. After about fifteen cubic feet
of sand and ten gallons of oil were
mixed the box was lifted and the
whole mass was turned with shoyels
until each particle of sand was coated
with oil and the mixture was black.
The road is now one year old. and
the maintenance cost of the successful
portion has not exceeded that of a
new macadam road. 4 sample taken
from this part of the road shows that
hard crust has formed on the outer
surface. The rest of the sample shows
that the binder is still adhesive and
has not become brittle.
The success of this part of the road
shows that if sand is mixed with a
proper binder it will make q surfacing
THAT is cheap, durable and dustless
and will probably become the most
popular road surface in sandy dis
tricts, where a scarcity of stone and
the distance from freight depots would
prevent successful macadamizing.

EXPERIMENT WITH A
SAND AND OIL ROAD.
One Highway at Falmouth, Mass,
Standing Traffic Well.

Macadam roads have now found
their way into many localities where
there is little or no stone. This sea-
ity of stone and the resulting high
cost of macadam would naturally sug-
gest the question. Is there local ma
terial available that is suitable for the
construction of a highway that will
withstand modern traffic? This ques-
ton seems to be answered. at least in
localities where sand is plentiful by
the construction of the sand oil road.
