some are expressing opinions
through the newspapers and some of
the opinions are to my mind not
correct. / will give few facts con-
cerning cracks in pavements. 1t is
not strange that the cracks come or
that they are plenty. 1t is a law
of the elements that pavements
cracEs Why? It is known fact
tnot a theory that all material us
ed In construction will expand by
.sheat or contract by cold. wood hav-
ing perhaps the least of this element
sof any material used in general con-
struction, and steel or zinc the most.
Next perhaps is masonry or artific-
ial stone when exposed directly to
the weather, such as sidewalks, paw
ing, etc. 1t is quite definitely known
as to the amount of expansion or
contraction of steel in this climate.
From the extreme hot season of
summer to the extreme cold of win
tee or zero weather. the difference in
elongation being about / X inch per
100 feet.
Many will remember the Ashtabu-
la disaster where many people were
killed. That was among the first
large steel bridges built and had
been loaded many times with very
heavy loads perhaps more than
twice the load that broke it. But
the structure was not provided
with adequate expansion or contrac-
tion and one cold Eorning when the
material was strained by contraction
little jar OF the comparatively
light passenger train caused thel
swapping of the trestle and the
bridge and train fell to the river.
Since that time there has been no
steel or iron work of that nature oy-
er eighty feet long constructed
without ample provision for expan-
sion and contraction.
1t is not SO definitely known the
exact amount Of expansion and con-
traction of other materials as II is
OF steel. But 1t is well known that
1t is considerable, and the contrac-
ton is greater than the expansionl
in this cold climate. All materials
are affected by 1t. Even the crust
OF the earth. for, We have seen very
large cracks in roads and especially
across grades. s
Ihen is II strange that the new
pavement is cracking (and clearl
lhiousn pase and all) since the tenn
