The advent OF the automobile has
brought the good roads problem to the
front all over the world and It's first
effect was to seem to make 1t more
difficult. From Europe comes the wall
that even the wonderful roads OF Eng
land and France break down under
the heavy traffic. Abroad as well as
in the United States. special bodies OF
experts have been at work to discov-
er the secret Of more resistant sur
faces. and on both sides of the Allan
tic the conclusion seems to be In favor
of bituminous ad-binders-and that
the most available country road from
all points of view is the bituminized
macadam. The elements entering into
what constitutes a good country road
include cost, length of life. quality Of
surface and freedom from dust The
bituminized road is not long lived un-
der heavy traffic, but the old water
bound macadam Is converted to dust
by the procession Of tearing touring
cars. and the dust is blown away. The
bituminized macadam may not be the
best thing In the road line ideally pos
sible, but II is the best attainable at
the present time.
