This exhibit was designed and prepar
ed by the office, and since the exposi

shown in many parts of the United
States, partly through the medium of
expositions and partly by means of ex

in reality schools of instruction in road
building.
Graduates in engineering are APP
pointed from colleges each year after
a competitive examination, and are

engineers is being built up, which will
aid the development Of road building
along proper lines, both during and
after their connection with the gov
eminent. This work was begun in the
fiscal year 1905.
Investigations into the decomposition
Of rock powders under the action OF
water have led to important discover
les with reference to increasing the ce
menting value Of road materials. The
investigation into the cOrrosion of iron
and steel culverts has brought out i'm
portant results. The generally accept
ed theories regarding the rusting OF
iron have been demonstrated to be in
correct, and il has been shown that
by treating the surface Of the iron
with a strong oxidizing agent the rust
ing can be inhibited.
In May. 1907, the Office inauguratet
n project designed TO introduce tn,
best possible systems Of construction

AS a general rule, when trairs
