A very remarkable bill has been in

ing for its purpose the changing of

to be accomplished is problematical,
but in the event it proves successful
We may confidently expect the enact.
ment of law changing the center of
a circle to the outside of its circum-

Talks on Macadam.
: The last address Of the evening was
that delivered by Il M. Whiteh0use,
civil engineer for the city and county
of Honolulu entitled Experiments in
the Use OF Asphaltic Binder for Mac
adam Roads. One -of the features of
this address were the tables of statis-
tics showing the rise and fall in the
cost-of building roads on different sec
lions in and about Honolulu. He
spoke. in part, as follows:
7eTen years ago the streets and high
ways Of what is at present known as
the City and County Of Honolulu we're
entirely constituted Of waterboupd
macadam, coral and $ earth. The
streets in the downtown district na6
been maeadamized for years and the
streets in the RESIDENTIAL districts
were being rapidly built in the same
manner. AT that time the maintenance
cost of the InacadGmized streets
amounted to approximately the. orig
inaI cost in FIVE years In the next
two or three years it was noticed
that the maintenance cost had about
doubled and Vasa increasing every
year. This additidnals cost OF main.
tenanee was due entirely to tho adj
vent of the automobile and its con-
stantly increasing use. We have no
complete records in the Office of the
road department or the actual in
crease in repairs to macadam roads for.
this period but from reports from
various cities In the states where ac-
curate cost records have been kept,
it is recorded that the auto has In
creased the maintenance of nacadana
roads in the ratio Of about s to L.

cents; repair effective, but may in
time require one or two applications
of the first stage remedy; dirt and
sand may be substituted for the fin

The cantonier Is also required to
keep clean all cutters and drains, so
they are ready at any, time to take
care Of all rain water. At odd times
when there is no urgent work. the
cantonier sets out and cultivates a
narrow strip of grass at the. edge of
the macadam, which acts as a curb,
preventing the edges of the macadam
from breaking off; holds the BERN in

on Kauai. He spoke as follows
Building: While am not suppos-'
ed to say anything about road buiIds
ing it might. be we'll to give you the
benefit of "a few facts that ! have
learned from experience, to be OF
value. Our improved roads are all
OF the ordinary macadamiZed type
and are built in the ordinary manner
except as to the following details
which possibly are not in common use.
"(1st) A compact roadbed, is irls
sisted upon. After the subgrade is
thoroughly rolled it is examined for
soft spots, which, if found, are hand,
tamped to the firmness of the sur
rounding earth, such spots are one Of
the causes of future pot holes or small
Irregularities of the surface.
(2nd) In rolling in the first layer
of metal, apply barely sufficient wa
ter and keep on rolling until the earth
is forced through the interstices and.
begins to appear on the surface over
the whole area; the balance of the.
work is done in the usual manner.
This precaution will also guard.
against uneven surfaces which would
appear after the road has been in use:
"(3rdl On Kauai we are making
the macadamized strip wider on turns
and much wider on sharp turns than:
on the straight stretches. We also
elevate the outer edge of the, road on
all lateral surface grades a straight.

very popular and as described above.
there will be small patches of surface
metal which viii not bond and would
never bond if not aided to do so. Such
places. if not remedied in time, be-
come pot holes or depressions. The
remedy is simple and effective and.
costs next to nothing. A little sprinkle
of red dirt from the nearest bank will
supply the aid necessary, and within
two or three days the bond viii be
complete. 1t is one of the cantonier's,
duties to attend to such matters. The
cantonier is on the job for good and
is no doubt a highly profitable invest
