to carry out the work for which it is instituted there should be co-opera- ton between the towns and the highway department in sne general improvement of the road. conditions on roads other than state roads A few experiments along these lines have been tried with considerable success. Advice has been given in the maintenance of the ordinary earth roads and wherever this ad- vice has been followed the results have been justified.
 This report would not be complete without the statement that Connecti- cut stands well up in the list of states along the lines of highway develop ment. The highway system of Con- necticut is Extensive and good, the work. extending over period of nearly twenty years, and is as near completion as any other state.

Commissioner Bennett. Details Work of DepartmeI It For
 Two Years.

The biennial report of thth highway department summarizes the work ac- CoInplished by and the pres ent condi- ton of the highway depar tzr1esnt uI1- der the management e CoCnaFniss1on- CT Charles J. Bennett, who Fnas just been reappointed for smothe7 term.
 The work itself is separ ated in ttfIee parts, namely, cpnstrucuon of .41ighwaxs; repairs of lhighWays; ae- counting and records. TAle men at actually in charge of EH9e work to which they are assigned shut confer ences on ali important zzlatters are held with the comn1issig Fsers so that in effect each decision F. policy re. ceives not only the cons liberation of the commissioner but of these sub- ordinates, whoe are actual fy in touch with the work These tn rec officials in charge are known as the deputy highway acorn11aissi oner, i'm charge of construct on super1ntendeI It of re- pairs, in charge of repairs; and chief clerk in charge of accoul Adng and records These men are practically equal in authority except that the deputy conarrrissioner acts TOT the coTnrnissi orner in his absence or dis ability.
 The construction department, un- der the deputy com m l5ssnoneE., has control of the. construction of new highways aIo1le and the work done IA this sectiorr is in charge of division ergineers as provided by law The state is at present divided in seven parts. each under a division engineer, ] who has cornpletAe charge of the con- s4ruction Of highways in his particu- lar district The deputy commits sioner makes freq snent trips to each division and to each piece of con strucfiof work in that division.
 All the construed on work of the state on highways has been sadver- tised nnder the unit system during inc paststtvo years; that is. instead of securing prices per foot for the construction of roads regardless of the amount of cut and HI. the work is now done and paid for4by the cubic yard square yard, tons etc, resulting in increased facility in handling the engineering work
 Repairs or Maintenansee-
 While this division is placed second it is unouesti onably the most import ant feature Of the highway depart nnent's work and on account of it's inheritance has been separated from the construction in order that the men in charge of repairs may put their entire time upon the repairs of highways.
 Under the superintendent of re- pairs the state is divided into nine districts. each of which is in charge of a supervisor of repairs. The de- partrnent is considering increasing order to get more frequent examina- ton of existing roads.

such roads which were properly de- signed when originally built, but travel has developed to such a de- gree that it will. be necessary to place on these roads a large amount of money for the reconstruction of the surface This work should be under taken before any extension of the trunk line system is made so that the l so-caI1ed fmproved roads, may be actually hard surfaced roads suitable to the traffic to which they are sub jected.
 Elimination of Grade Crossings.
 No report of the highway depart ment would be complete without a word of warning as to the existence of grade crossings on trunk line highways: Dangerous grade cross ings exist frequently on trunk lines and these crossings are becoming more and more a menace to the pub lie safety. as fast automobile travel increases.
 At the present time there is no ap- propriation made by the state for the purpose of eliminating grade cross ings and it would seem, that in the future, when. the financial condition of the. state shall warrant the expen- allure, certain amount of money should be appropriated for this pur- pose and the highway department given the right to petition for the 1 elimination of grade crossings in the same manner as is now provided for i in the towns. It would seem almost this character rather than to extend | the trunk line system to any great l amount
 Trunk Lines
 In the construction of trunk line 1 highways by state appropriations, there has been no attempt to divide | the money equally between counties I@G- TTNI- T. rather to ycomp1ete continuous roads without regard to imaginary lines of this character. This practice carried to a successful issue will eventually result in a complete trunk line sys- tenn, giving rapid and safe means of 1 of population.
 Cost of Supervision.
 The overhead charge of this de- partment has been low. in spite o1 1 the fact that the department is sep 1 arated in two parts, namely, Con struction'' and "Repairs.',
 The actual overhead charge, in cluding all inspection, engineering and supervision of repairs, transpor- tation, amounts to about 6 per cent 1 of the total amount of money appro- lpriated. This item includes this ex- pense and commissioners salary.
 Conclusion.
 The above report covers in detai 1 the doings of the highway depart rnent along lines specified by the 1 highway law. There seems, however I to be a further field for the depart ment's activities; namely in the i'm provement of the general road condi- itions all over the state. No matter how. generous the appropriations fol [ highway construction may be, it is | idle to suppose that the entire road system of Connecticut can ever be 1 constructed as state road. There are | approximately 12.O00 miles of high ways outside of cities in the state. O1 l this, Slightly more than one-tenth has been constructed in nineteen years at total cost of about $12,OOO, 900. There can be no question, however, that the increasing travel to which all roads are subjected shows a neces- sity for a general i1nrrovem ent in road conditions, and assuming that the highway department is competent ' Y F T
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-03-12

the highway department during the past two years, it seems well to ad- vance the general theory of separat- ing the construction of roads into three types.
 For roads of extremely heavy travel not already constructed, the principle of constructing so-caIled permanent pavements, should be ad- hered to-. All these pavements should be constructed with a concrete foun- dalton. It does not seem to this de- partment that the concrete road is absolute perfection of road surfaces claimed, but there does seem to be a reasonable use for the concrete road for a certain term of years.
 Second, for roads of lighter travel with a preponderance of automobiles, the use of a bituminous- bound native stone road is recomm ended; that is to say, a road built either by the so- called penetration or mixing method cured by crushing the local native material, and the binding. material consists of a proper grade of coal tar or asphalt.
 Third, for roads subjected to light travel. mixed in character, the con struction of gravel or native stone macadam roads @s recommended.
 Probably the most economical and successful type of road which can be built is the gravel road, providing a source of supply is available.
 Seven Trunk Lines.
 The trunk line system of Connecti- cut is a layout of main roads amount ing to about 1,520 miles. Of this about 60 per cent are already con- structed and in the apportionment of the last appropriation for trunk lines, the money was used to complete. so far as possible. seven roads which were considered to be the main routes of the state. In. main, the seven trunk lines which are now practical ly complete as state highways are as follows:
 First, the road from New York to westerly along Long Island Sound.
 Second, New Haven to Springfield, by way of Meriden and Hartford. Third, Stratford to Winsted, up the Housatonic and Naugatuck val Fourth, New London to Thompson, passing through the French River valley.
 Fifth. Danbury through Water bury, Hartford. Manchester, Will nmant1c. Putnam, and thence to the Rhode Island line.
 Sixth, Norfolk, throughN Winsted and Hartford, adjoining the road to the east mentioned above.
 Seventh, the road from Saybrook to Hartford, and thence branching east and west, adjoining the two roads mentioned above,
 Road Reconstruction.
 Possibly the most difficult problem with which any highway department has to deal, is the reconstruction or resurfacing of existing nacadam roads. Tn many eases these roads have been allowed to fall into disre- pair or have been overoiIed, so that some treatment must be applied which requires the entire reconstruc- ton of the road surface itself. The nacadam road having been thor 1 oughIy compacated by time and travel, constitutes an excellent foun- dalton for the application of some bituminous type of surface. One of the worst problems with which the highway department of Connecticut is concerned is the re- construction of roads which were originally, built as graded roads and on which no hard surface was con- structed. There are many miles of

The net to- tai of all construction since July g., 1895 is 1,246.27 miles.
 The Repair Work.
 Generally speaking, the repair work has been carried on by em- ployees paid directly by the depart ment and considerable surprise has been expressed and some criticism noted on account of the fact that such large sums have been paid directly to supervisors of repairs j. for this purpose
 In explanation of payments to su- pervisors of repairs, it is well to say that no expenditure is made by them without securing a proper voucher Each man paid signs receipt for his money before he received it.
 By system of allowing outside contractors or individuals ito carry on repa1rS, the DlllS are not presented until after the work is completed, and no adequate system of checking up the amounts is feasible, so that there is a great chance for unnecessary work to be done and amounts paid under a system using contractors or outside individuals for repairs than under the one at present employed. The character of the work to be done on repairs is not such that it can be contracted for practically. The work should be done by force account with men working either by the hour or day and the cost of work to be done cannot be determined until it is actu~ ally under way If work is done by outside parties, the supervision must still be in the hands of the highway department so that overhead charges would not decrease, and in the, case of contractors, a profit must be paid.

An order OF the interstate com.
merce commission, that became ef-
fective Monday, allows to Aberdeen
and other Grays Harbor mills the
same freight rates to Idaho and Salt
Lake territory that are enjoyed by
Portland and other Oregon mills. This
means the opening of huge territory
to local lumber manufacturers.
Until this week local mills have been
compelled to pay a differential of 21a
cents per 100 pounds over the Port
land territory. This partically was
prohibitive.
