BRICK FOR WEIGHT.
Makes Good Road Material For Heavy
Traffic.


Erie county is the most important
In the state in the matter OF road
maintenance. according to III. X Bish-
op. first deputy highway commissioner.
Westchester county, with its roads
leading into New York, Is the next,
but It does not concern the commits
sion so much because the city takes
care of the main roads. Erie county
has nearly 200 miles of state roads, a
considerable portion of which have
been paved with brick. Mr.. Bishop
considers that brick paving is pecu-
liarly adapted to the roads about Buff
falo because OF the heavy traffic.
While the initial cost is greater than
macadam or asphalt macadam, Mr..
Bishop believes IL win be economical
in the long run. Macadam roads. he
explains. will stand up well under
light usage. but II s another PROPOSE
tion where heavy wagon and automo-
bile traffic is concerned. The automo-
biles alone would Tot wear macadam
greatly. In Fact. Nv applying an oil
coating they tend TO pack the road,
but when the wheels of wagons and
the calks Of horses shoes loosen the
covering the auto trafhc tends to whip
OF the surface.
