hand or power screen. Gravel roads
built Of screened gravel are usually
superior to those built of unscreened
gravel, although there are exceptions
to this rule.
When the gravel Is separated, the
coarse is used for the foundation, the
medium sized pieces for the wearing
course, and the fine gravel and dust
for the binder as in regular macadam
construction. If there is an excess Of
earth, sand. or clay. as is often the
case, these can and should be removed
by screening.
An outfit consisting of a gasoline
engine, hopper, elevator, revolving
screen and medium sized bins for three
sizes of gravel will cost in the neigh
borhood of $1,000. For small addi-
tional outlay drum and cable may be
attached to the engine with which to
operate bucket conveyor to carry
the gravel from the pit to the hopper.
There are many different methods
of building gravel roads in use in va
rious parts of the country Most of
them, however, are built without meth
cd or plan. Some fail because
the material is poor, but the majority
of the failures is due to the fact that
the material is not properly applied to
the road.
The following are the principal
causes Of failure. First; poor mate
rial; round water-worn gravel; too lit
tie binder or too much sand, earth
or clay. Second: unstable founda-
tions; placing gravel on surfaces filed
with ruts and holes. Third: poor drain
age; too fiat, or too high in the mid
die, side bitches too deep or not deep
enough, culverts which are too small,
or which are laid 30 fiat that they are
soon filled with silt or trash. Fourth:
spreading gravel in dry weather,
dumping 1t in piles and leaving it for
the traffic to spread. Fifth: making
the road too narrow to accommodate
the traffic, OF so narrow that wagons
will track and soon cut the surface
into ruts. Sixth: failure to keep ruts
and holes filed with gravel
With good binding or cementing
gravel satisfactory roads may be made
by surfacing the prepared earth sub
grade with one or two layers of this
material. The earth road is first
shaDed with road machine and II

A properly located and well-drained
earth foundation is the prerequisite of
good gravel road. says the Office of
public roads, department of agricul-
ture. 1t is waste of material and
labor to apply gravel to the surface
of road which is full of ruts and
holes. A smooth, solid foundation is
just as necessary as In macadam con-
struction.
There are SO many kinds Of gravel
that it is almost impossible to lay
down principles of construction which
will hold good in all cases. road
building gravel should bind well. The
qualities of hardness and toughness
are important, but not so important as
the cementing value. The angular
gravels with square, sharp fractures
are the best Water-worn creek or
river gravel, which is round and clean,
will seldom produce a satisfactory
wearing surface. Such material may,
however, be used for foundation and
bonded with layer of suitable pit
gravel
Two deposits Of gravel are seldom
found which are exactly alike. When
there are several pits to choose from,
hand samples should be selected from
each and carefully examined and if
possible test made to ascertain the
cementing value of each. By separat-
ing the gravel, sand and clay fair
idea of the relative value Of each

any doubt as to which is the best,

will indicate within a few months,
not only the cementing value, but also

very small pieces to large pieces,

possible, rolled with an eight or ten
ton roller. The earth foundation

Of gravel will depend upon the traffic
and, to some extent, on the material
as well as the earth subgrade.
Some varieties of gravel must be
sprinkled and rolled before they will
consolidate, while others bind well I'M
practice is to apply the gravel in
wet weather, or to wet the gravel be-
fore it is applied to the road. In some
cases little clay or loan will hasten
the binding process. Care should be
taken, however, not to use too much
clay or loan, as these will soften in
wet weather. An excess of clay makes
the road dusty in summer and muddy
in winter.
If it becomes necessary to build the
road without a roller or sprinkler, the
work should be done in the spring of
the year before the rains have ceased.
The traffic will pack the material
much better then than in the summer
or fall.
The width of the gravel road will
depend upon traffic conditions It
should be surfaced 70 width OF at
least "a feet, and II possible, 10 width
of from IA to Is feet. A narrow strip
of gravel will wear out much more
quickly than one which Is little
wider. If the road is surfaced to
width of 16 feet, then the center of the
road should be from five to eight
inches higher than the outside edge
of the gravel. This is sufficient for
drainage. If the crown is higher than
about an inch to the foot, the traffis
will be forced to the center of the
road and cause it to wear more
quickly.
The cost of building gravel roads
varies greatly In different parts Of
the country. depending principally on
the distance materials are hauled and
the cost of labor and teams. So far
as can be ascertained, the average
cost of building $4,000 miles of gravel
road in Indiana was $1473 per mile.
The average cost of building 237 miles
of gravel road In New Jersey was
$2,425 per mile. The New Jersey
roads we're surfaced to an average
width of 1853 feet and an average
depth Of 8.4 inches. The average cost
of building 20 miles in Connecticut
was 1874 per mile. The Connecticut
roads were surfaced to an average
width of 1916 feet and to depth Of
8.3 inches.

CITY SCHOOLS GIVE
CREDIT FOR READING

In some classes Of our schools
credit is given for the reading OF
certain books. This caused an I'M
usual demand at the public library
for standard works, and Thursday
brought the number of borrowers
and reference workers together up
to sos, an exceptionally large
mid-week run.
This system of credit for outside
reading is to be extended. AS the
library has no catalog, the librarian
last year sent to teachers in the
grades list OF over 100 books, part
listed by topics, part by grades, ac-
cording to the grading given by the
Carnegie library o. Pittsburg, Pa.
Special lists are furnished at re-
quest. Copies of all these lists, and
also lists furnished by teachers for
their classes are on file. at the IL
brary for the use Of the public.
