BEST ROADS IN THE WORLD.
The Splendid System In France That
Has Brought This About.

The Splendid System In France That
Has Brought This About.
In France. where they have the best
roads Of any country in the world, the
highways are divided into several
classes, but ali OF them are supervised
by the national government, which
maintains bureau of roads and
bridges and supports school for the
education Of the engineers and inspect
ors who are employed IN the bureau. 4
This method Of building and main
tanning roads in France was started by
the first Napoleon, who appears to
have been the earliest European states
man who clearly saw the economic ad-
vantage of proper highways and who
at the same time had the power to car
ry out what he wished. The effect Of
these good roads in France has been
wonderful. They have brought all Of
the various parts Of the country nearer
together, they have made country life
less lonesome, and they have reduced
the cost of transportation Of country
produce to a minimum. France is the
only country in Europe where the agri-
cultural classes are not dissatisfied
and where they do not feel that they
have harder time than those who la
Dor in other fields.

marked reduction In fire losses. both

instances:
If city councils and town boards will
pass ordinances to provide for build
ing and chimney inspector. give him
the authority to enter and inspect all
buildings and chimneys, and then see
to it that he does his duty:
If they will prohibit the burning Of
trash. paper and other combusdble
material upon the streets and alleys
and in the congested parts Of town,
except when 1t is burned in a brick,
concrete or stone tightly closed re-
ceptacle where the contents cannot be
blown around and endanger and ig-
mite property;
If they will provide that all stoves
shall have metal or asbestos protec-
tion placed under them;
If they will prohibit stovepipes
through roofs and sides of buildings
and compel the use Of substantial
brick chimneys;
If they will provide that all ashes
shall be deposited in closed metal re-
ceptacle and carted away where they
can be emptied out and not endanger
property:
If they will compel dealers in gaso-
line to store it in steel tanks under
ground and handle it in safe man.

If they will prohibit the washing
and cleaning Of clothing in gasoline in
the congested part of towns:
If they will compel all buildings in
dilapidated and dangerous condition to
be either repaired or removed;
If they will provide their fire CON-
panies with adequate fire apparatus
which will enable them to extinguish
fires in their incipiency-
Then the losses by fire will be great

The MUD NUISANCE ON
OILED MACADAM ROADS.
A Question That 10 Psrpiexing Road
Engineers.

With the coming of summer mu-
nicipal engineers have brought again
before them the perplexing question
which has been giving many Of them
gray hairs for several seasons past:
What shall we do this season to cope
with the dust nuisance on macadamized
streets?
Probably the most generally adopt
ed plan has been the sprinkling of the
macadam with some asphaltic oil. 1t
has been demonstrated that where
horse drawn traffic does not predomi"
nate such sprinkling is a success In
preventing disintegration and undue
wear by building up rubbery traffic
mat on top Of the stone.
But in escaping from the chorus Of
complaints Of the dust nuisance the
engineer runs foul Of a new set Of pro-
tests from indignant citizens who flnd
carriage varnish, clothing and floor
coverings ruined by the black, greasy
mud which covers these roads after
every hard rain.
The cause Of this nuisance has been
variously explained, but the condition
has seldom been remedied. It has now
been shown that asphaltic oils and wa
ter will form an emulsion whenever
colloidal matter like clay b added.
This is what happens to the asphalt
bound traffic mat under the soaking of
rain and the kneading Of trafnc. Con-
siderable loan and litter are carried
on to the road in the course Of ordl-
nary traffic, and the rain and wheels
complete the process. After the rain
has ceased the emulsion gradually dries
out, and the traffic mat eventually be-
comes as effective as before, but 1t is
again converted to mud by the next
heavy storm. When the mat contains
a large proportion of bitumen and is
dense and rubbery this emulsifying is
delayed, but only delayed. When the
mat grows older and so much dirt and
litter have been ground into it that the
proportion of bitumen is lowered, then
its earlier water shedding qualities are
lost and its surface is Shiny, slippery
and nasty after every shower.
Several remedies are conceivable,
but practical objections arise to all of
them. For instance, before applying
the binder great care must be paid to
removing the last traces Of fine dust
and litter and in throwing on gravel,
small stone or screenings as filler
The finest dust is to be discarded.
Moreover, this filler must be Of a ma
terial not easily reduced to an impal-
pable powder under traffic. Every
means must be taken to prevent the
carriage Of dirt and litter on to the
traffic mat, as by providing frequent
ly cleaned approaches. The un-
avoidable accumulations of dirt and
litter must be removed before each
storm. More oil should perhaps be
added from time to time during the
season to keep the bitumen percentage
high and the water shedding qualities
Of the mat unimpaired. The expense
involved in these measures is obvious
So impractical, therefore, seem all
the present expedients for preventing
this greasy mud that the trouble seems
