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 $4,000 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 por
mile per year. while for brick il is
estimated at SO per mile per year-in
fact, New Jersey has spent $500 per
mile per year for her macadam roads.
The vital principle in road construc-
tion,' Mr. Griffith says, lis that Of the
cost of maintenance. New York has
used patent bitumlDous 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, bituminonS
surfaces OF good grade, such AZ
coated stone, have been found salts
factory. However. on such roads
where horse traffic becomes heavy, ei
at curves, maintenance cost irumedi
ately increases rapidly, while the same
does not appear to be the case with
brick roads under similar conditions"

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
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 past few years Is proved by data
recently published in the official Good
Roads Year Book for 1915, It has been
found that more than $4,000 miles OF
surfaced roads have been constructed
during 1913 and 1914 and that during
the ten year period from 1904 to 1914
more than 10000 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 is
1890 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 mid OF state funds, of which oyer
5000. CG0.CcD layo been expended. The
state aid movement began in 1892 and
has therefore continued for twenty
two years. Only recently has 1t got

piished for 1915 and 1914 comprise a
total of 1900 miles Of tate, aid high.

Give Us a Real Primary or Nothing.

Give Us a Real Primary or Nothing.
The cowardly attitude of the Yer
mont legislature toward the direct
primary cannot be too strongly con
demmed. For. several years all polit-
ical parties in the state have been de
claring in favor of the primary. There
has been one referendum and large
majority of those who voted said they.
wanted primary law. The entire
state has expected that the present
legislature would pass real primary
law as a matter OF course. When the
lower house turned down the measure
last week there was genuine surprise
and, as the facts become known, dis
gust all along the line. Governor
Gates came to the front with the pro-
position for second referendum and
saved the day in a measure. We say
in measure because the bill that
the House finally. passed, is not a real
primary law only a piece of a law.
What Vermont wants, If it wants any
law on the subject, is a primary that
covers all elective offices. president
ial electors, members Of congress
state officers, county officers an,
town and city representatives. If we
must have another referendum, let
us have something worth voting on
and about. To submit the emascula''
ed measure that passed the House
last week to the thoughtful consider.
alton of the voters by referendum
will be an insult to their intelligence
