congress approved March 8, 1893. max
ing appropriation of $4,000 for the de-
partment Of agriculture. The clause
relating to this work provided that the
secretary Of agriculture should make
inquiries in regard to systems of road
management throughout the United
States. make investigations IN regard
to the best methods OF road making.
prepare publications on this subject
and assist agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations in disseminating In
formation.
Since 1893 the total amount appro-
priated for the Office Of public roads is
$50. SEQ. and since its establishment
the Office has issued 40 bulletins. 90
circulars. farmers bulletins. 81 year
book reprints and Is annual reports. q
total Of 1873 publications.
The Office has directed the constrl1c-
ton Of about BAG object lessons and
experimental roads, illustrating macad-
am. bituminous macadam. brick. gray-
ell. sand-clay. shell and earth construc-
ton. The approximate expenditure on
these object lessons and experimental
roads by local authorities has been
$600, 762. and the subsequent road work
due directly to the object lesson roads
represents expenditures running well
up into millions. Lectures and person
al advice by engineers and experts have
constituted a prominent feature of the
work OF the Office since its establish
ment. The road material laboratory
was Installed in December. 1900. and
from that time to July /, 1911. about
$500 samples of road material have
been received from practically every
state In the Union and tested to deter
mihe their character and value for road
building.
A Photographic laboratory was In
stalled in January, 1909, and has now
q complete outfit. This was the direct
result of a great need for illustrated
lectures. The Office has now collec-
ton of about 6.0O0 negatives and about.
1900 slides. many of which have been
colored. These illustrate all phases OF
road work.
Experiments have been conducted
with oils. tars. rock asphalt and vari-
Gus preparations for the purpose OF
preventing dust and preserving mac
adam roads from destruction under
modern traffic conditions. The office
has conducted investigations to deter
mine the feasibility Of the sand-clay
method OF road building in the south
ern states as well as in the prairie
states. and this method Of construction
has been found to be quite practicable,
especially In the south:
A study OF the construction OF roads,
of natural soils by treatment with as
phaltic oils. has been made and was
published in circular No. 90 The office
Is conducting investigations on the use
of Stag as road material and the
Improvement of sand roads in parts OF
the country where clay is not accessi-
BILE. Practical efforts have been made
toward bringing about the more gener-
al use of the split log drag in the main
tenance Of earth roads.
One of the unique and striking
exhibits at the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition consisted of series of min
future models Illustrating every known
type OF improved road and the various

This exhibit was designed and prepar-
ed by the Office. and since the exposi.
ton closed similar exhibits have been
shown in many parts OF the United
States. partly through the medium Of
expeditions and partly by means or ex-
hibit trains operated by several rail
roads. Lecturers and demonstrators
accompany these exhibits. making them

Graduates In engineering are ap-
pointed from colleges each year after

given thorough training while render
ing practical services to the govern
ment. In this way an efficient corps Of
engineers is being built up. which will
aid the development Of road building
along proper lines. both during and

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 Inn

ed theories regarding the rusting Of

The number Of tile employees OF the
Office has Increased from one on july

present appropriation of the Office is

for rent. leaving s1.7.1E0 to pay the
salaries OF these 157 employees. as well
as travelling expenses. the purchase of
equipment and supplies. and the usual

The most thorough and systematif
methods OF organization have been in
troduccd into the administration Of the
Office. and the great library on all
phases of road work Is the best in the
western hemisphere. and the library Is
being added TO constantly.
The policy OF the Office In recent.
years has been to cooperate with the
officials in charge of road work in tie
various states as closely as possible,
and the endeavor is being made so to
correlate road work In each state by
voluntary cooperation as to constitute
one great movement along uniform
lines and make the progress and meth

1895. The three escaped, but Wells
was afterward captured and lodged
in the Westminster Jail.
He and his friend Cost broke jail,
and made their escape, sleeping one
night in Jehu Rogers barn near here.
They were captured and Wells was
sentenced to 40 years in the Peniten-
tiary on the charge of shooting "a
trolman Doyle and Of robbing the
home of Mr. Asbury Watts, near
Pikesville. His sentence was later
reduced to 25 years and finally Judge
Burke, then sitting at TOWson, and
who tried the case, reduced the time
to 20 years, but he was pardoned out
on December s last.
Cost was sentenced to- Fl years in
the Penitentiary, which term he Is
still serving.
