ADVOCATES BRICK ROADS.
Initial Cost Comparatively Heavy, but
Maintenance Much Less.

Initial Cost Comparatively Heavy, but
Maintenance Much Less.
w. o. Griffith, editor Of the Monthly
Bulletin Of the Automobile Club Of
Philadelphia. has studied the results of
road building of various kinds in differ
ent states and concludes that brick
roads are far superior for mixed heavy
traffic. including horses and motor
trucks. as well as pleasure cars
Cut stone, or Belgian blocks. and
brick are both too noisy for use in
cities, where wood blocks are the most
efficient. For building roads in the
country, cut stone is too expensive.
and where there is heavy traffic the
cost of maintenance of macadam roads
is also too expensive. Mr.. Griffith ad-
vocates the use Of brick on all well
Travelled roads as real economy. The
initial cost Of laying down good
macadam road varies from $1,000 to
$4,000 per mile, and brick road varies
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile. The
maintenance cost of macadam road.
however. is approximately $1,000 per
mile per year, while for brick 1t Is
estimated at SIS per mile per year-in
fact. New Jersey has spent. $500 per
mile per year for her macadam roads.
1.-THE vital principle In road construc-
tion," MI. Griffith says. ''fs that of the
cost of maintenance, New York has
used patent bituminous pavements
since 1908. and the experience Of west
ern New York in the vicinity Of
Rochester and Buffalo is that for the
market roads in the towns. where
horse traffic is heavy. brick Is the only
possible road to use. although its first
cost is high. They find that for high
speed automobile roads. bftumfnous
surfaces Of a good. grade. such as
coated stone. have been found salts
factory. However. on such roads
where horse traffic becomes heavy. or
at curves. maintenance cost immedt-
ately increases rapidly. while the same
does not appear to be the case With
brick roads under similar conditions

THE ROAD MAKER.
The civilized man makes roads;
the savage does not. That is the

r sL
The civilized man makes roads;
the savage does not. That is the
safest test Of civilization. ~
Among us, in all communities,
are individuals who are not real
~ civilized. They do not take
any interest in roads.
A mans scale in civilization is
very correctly tested by bis atti-
tude toward the stone which has
rolled into the road or the tree
which has blown down across 1t.
The man who drives around the
obstacle day after day is one
sort Of man; the one who stops
: his team and rolls or drags 1t
away is another. And a person
passing along a road which he
does not expect to retrace who
removes the obstruction for the
sake of the stranger who comes
after him responds to a very
high test of civilization. He
feels socially.
When the snow piles up in the
road the man who goes ahead
and breaks the path for others
bears the burden which he who
has made progress always must
bear. There is snow in every
road-to cooperation, to better
schools. to better business meth
DDS. There must be road break
ers for every path. The road
maker is the great civilizer-

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Remarkable Progress Made In United
States During Recent Years.

Remarkable Progress Made In United
States During Recent Years.
That remarkable progress has been
made in the building Of good roads
throughout the United States during
the pastafewsyears II proved BY data
recently published in the official Good
Roads Year Book for 1915. It has lHpes,
found that more than $4,000 miles Ut
surfaced roads have been constructed
during 1913 and 1914 and that during
the ten year period from 1904 to 1914
more than $4,000 miles have been COM
pleted. That this progress has been
really amazing may be understood
from the fact that in 1904 there were
only $4,000 miles Of surfaced roads Of
all types in the United States. That the
movement is attaining momentum as 1t
goes is proved by the fact that while
the average mileage constructed per
annum during the past ten years ID
9,GOO miles. the total completed for
1914 exceeded $4,000 miles. The report
shows that something like 10000 miles
Of highway have been completed with
the aid Of state funds. Of which over
500. 900 have been expended. The
state aid movement began in 1892 and
has therefore continued for twenty
two years. Only recently has It got
well under way, az the results accom-
plished for 1913 and 1914 comprise a
total Of 10000 miles Of state aid high
ways completed. or in two years time
one-third Of the entire mileage con-
structed. with the aid'of state funds has
been completed.
Only six states now out Of a total of
forty-eight are without state highway
departments. and thirty states have
granted actual money aid to the build
ing of. roads.

HOW ARE THE STREETS OF
YOUR ToWNi

The various associations that
have been formed to agitate the
building Of good roads between
large centers and from coast to
coast are accomplishing q work
that must benefit every automo-
bile owner and each manufac-
turer. The object Of these assoe
Citations Is u worthy one, and
they should be given all the as
sistance possible.
But In thus promoting the
building Of good roads through
rural districts are not many Of
US overlooking the local condi-
lions or. at least, trusting that
these will take care Of them
selves?" With how many cities
and towns are we familiar Il
which the resident. apologixinx

are 6ne-out in the country
and will seem to believe that IN
thus bringing forth the fact that
the rural highways are in excel
lent condition he is Offering SUIT

Of the public. The first effort to stop
jitneys in the court has been made in
San Diego and has failed. The conten-

gally operated without a franchise. In
denying the petition for an injunction
Judge W. A. Sloan held that in the alb

the legislature to enact a law giving
municipalities authority to require fran

Sloan said IL the city had a right to
regulate jitneys by ordinance there
was no ground for injunction In the
absence Of such ordinance.
Among the legal restrictions that may
be applied by a city are prescribed
