ment. In such cases the unstable ma
terial should be removed and replaced
with gravel or sand, and wherever
practicable the earth subgrade should
be thoroughly rolled, preferably with a
steam roller, and made to conform in
crown or Gambler to the surface Of the
finished road. Sandy %subgrades may be
improved by the use of a thin layer of
clay or soil.
There are two forms Of drainage es-
sential in road building, ~ surface
drainage and (2) subdrainage. There
are three essential points to be con-
sidered in connection with surface
drainage. a. The surface Of the road
should be of such a shape that water
will quickly drain from it to the side
bitches; (2) the side bitches should be
adequate in size to carry, without
overflow, the maximum rainfall, and
they should be Of such depth and
grade that water will travel easily to
low points on the road, and 81 from
the low points there should be suitable
outlets to convey the water to the
natural drainage Of the country.
Water should never be permitted to
remain under a macadam road; con
sequently subdrainage must be resort
ed to at times. Water softens the
foundation, allows the broken stone to
be forced into it by the traffic, and in
freezing it expands and dislodges the
broken stone, destroying the bond.
There are several ways Of removing
the subsurface water, ~ by raising
the s%ubgrade; ~ by side drains con-
sisting Of narrow trenches filled with
broken stone, with a pipe five or six
inches in diameter near the bottom. A
drain Of this type should have fire.
quent side outlets. On hillsides a pipe
or culvert is carried under the road at
suitable points.
Another type of subdrain that is
much used in Massachusetts, is the ''V''
drain. It consists in shaping the sub.
drain in the form Of a ~" the angle
being at the center Of the road. This
IL filed with coarse stone up to the
Foundation grade and has frequent side
outlets. This type is rather expensive
and very frequently can be dispensed
with by raising the subgrade with
suitable sand, gravel or clay.
Another type Of drain practical fol
hide hill locations Is a subside drain
located on the upper side of the road
to intercept and provide an outlet fol
surface and ground water before i
reaches the road proper.
Great care should be used in properly
grading a road.
The practice in America is general,
to place the maximum grade at 5 pc
cent for important roads, as a hors'
ean trot without difficulty up such
grade, and another important consider
alton in connection with grades is tina
q macadam surface can only be main
tanned at great cost on steep grades.
In fixing the grades the enginee
should so adjust the cuts and fills as t
make the least possible waste of mate
rial, and in this he must not overloo
the fact that some materials shrink t
q great extent when taken from TN
cuts and placed in the fills. This Va
ries with the material. but average

ruts should be filed as soon IS they
appear with the same kind and size of
stone as that used in the surface course.
If small defects are attended to when
they first appear it will be unnecessary
to resurface the road until 1t Is worn
entirely through to the foundation
course. When the surface course is
worn out it ought to be spiked up with
a steam roller or scarifer and this fol
lowed by the spreading of a three inch
layer Of one and one-half inch rock.
This is rolled. bonded with screenings
and sprinkled in the same manner as
the top course was originally construct
ed, after which the road will be as
good as new.
