Hummeistown Pike, Considered q

built In 1908. using the telford-maca-

Birdsboro trap rock for the top. says
writer In Northwestern Agricultur-

There are certain sections of this
highway that were flooded during a
cloudburst. and the top surface
which was washed of the road was
replaced by grouting with one part
cement and two parts sand.
The road was built nine inches in
depth. five inches telford and four in
ches macadam course. Shortly after
completion there were several surface

EXPERTS MUST BUILD ROADS
Explanation Of Failure Of Authorities
Generally to Maintain Roads
and Streets.

The astonishing results of census
taken recently on secondary thor
oughfare leading out OF London
showed only per cent of horse-drawn
vehicles. The exact count was Is We
hicles OF the latter class to 500 We
hicles propelled otherwise than by
horses. Herein lies both an eXplana-
ton OF the failure of public authorities
generally throughout the world TO
maintain roads and streets in good
condition. and also presentation OF
the difficulties that road constructors
now confront.
A similar example OF the extraor-
binary change that has occurred in
the use Of roads in recent years is
that OF a furniture manufacturing con
cern in Easton. which delivers on its
own trucks in New York city instead
of using the already-constructed steel
roads. namely. the railroads. This con
.ern uses the ordinary roads. A con
