(the oity engineer) published In Tho
Times-Diapatch OF February 20, and
beg to say that have never seen tho
piece alluded TO In the issue OF the
Times-Dispatch of February 20, MOI
DO recall having had any Interview
in regard to the condition OF Grove
Avenue and Cary Street west Of the
boulevard. However, 1 diatinotly wish
10 stEte that have not In any intor-
view, or at any time, ascribed the bad
cohuit on OF these two streets to tho
use OF Same by automobiles.
These streets arc In very bad con-
dltion. and the causes, IN my opinion,
are quo. first. TO tho fact that tho
grading OH these streets was done in
the late fall and early winter. and,
when excayated to grade, for tho
greater part on each street the sur-
face was soft and what we term
"crawiish clay" The best gravel we
could get was then placed on these
Etrccts, which was rolled with light
rollers. and proper crown In cross-
section waa given to these streets.
The worst speli OF weather / have
ever known then came, alternately
freezing, showing. thawing and rain
Ing. which resulted not only in the
streets being cut up very badly, but
this weather caused the gravel 10 work
down and the clay to work up, thus
making soft and muddy road. Tho
worst conditions on these streets were
caused by this weather and by the
fact that 1t was used. In my opinion.
BY narrow tired vehicles, which cut 1t
UP Into deep ruts. We have had no
weather since In which these streets
could have been put into proper con-
dition-
While i d!sclaim that 1 have ex-
pressed IN opinion that the bad con-
dition OF these streets was caused by
automobiles. 1 have on former occa-
gions stated that during times OF wet
weather. our graveled streets were
being badly cut up and injured by
automobiles running over them, some
times at high speed, with chains at
tached TO the rear wheels. 1 have
frequently seen these chains pick UP
the gravel and throw same for some
distance when the streets are in a wet
condition.
Knowing that autom obiIes have
needed not only for other vehicles. but
automobiles as we'll, 1 have recon-
mendcd that. in constructing ouch
roads. We use b'tuIninous or tar
filler or binder, so Is to bind the
particles OF gravel together. and have
invariably given instructions that such
roads be brought to q high crown, as
compared with the paved streets. so
that the water will shed Off readily.

expense of making such roads. re-
