which there should be two At the
end of the second application the
grout should completely fill the joints
flush with the tops of the joints. The
final step is to cover the completed
pavements with one.inch layer of
fine earth. This is done to protect the
pavement from the weather and to
keep it in a moist condition while the
grout is hardening.
The objection frequently made to
the grout-filled brick payement-that
it is extremely noisy-may be over
come by the proper use of longitudinal
expansion cushions placed alongside
the curb. These expansion cushions
are bituminous layers from one
half TO one and one-quarter inches
thick. varying with the width of the
pavement.
In addition to the description Of the
various problems the new bulletin
contains in an appendix complete typi-
cal specifications for the construction
of brick road.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1915-09-24

considers that the ability of pavement
to resist wear depends upon the
smoothness of the pavement and
firm foundation. IL the foundation IL
poor one OF the bricks may be easily
forced down, causing unevenness in
the surface. Where the traffic is COM
paratively light and the subgrade
composed of material that does not
readily absorb water, broken stone
may make a satisfactory base. For
heavier traffic or where the material
composing the subgrade is at all I'M
stable a concrete base is necessary.
The stone base should be constructed
much as In the case of first-class
macadam roads. Concrete bases may
be constructed OF concrete composed
of part Portland cement, parts of
sand and from to parts of broken
stone or screened gravel. Above the
concrete base sand cushion to cor
rect slight irregularities and to secure
an even surface for the brick Is most
desirable. This cushion is usually
two inches thick, though in some
cases it may be only ". II is impor-
tant to have the sand clean and dry.
After the brick has been laid upon
this cushion and the pavement gone
over carefully to remedy all defects
and remove all imperfect material, IL
should be rolled with a heavy power
roller, gone over carefully once more
and the joints then filled with some
material to prevent the brick edges
from chipping. OF the various mate
rails used for this purpose grout
made of equal portions of Portland ce-
ment and sand mixed with water is
recommended. Sand alone is some
times used because Of its cheapness,
but 1t is open to several objections
and its use in the end is probably not
economical. Portland cement groEt,
on the other hand, binds the indiyid-
ual bricks together and converts the
pavement into what is practically 8
monolith. Before the grout il APP
piled the pavement should be swept
clean and be kept moist by gentle
sprinkling during the application. OF

Vitrifled brick roads, according to
the road specialists Of the department
OF agriculture, possess three distinct
advantages. First, they are durable
under all traffic conditions: second.
, they afford easy traction and mod
erately good foothold for horses; and
third, they are easy to maintain and
keep clean. On the other hand. they
are unQuestionably expensive to con-
struct and the effort to reduce the
high first cost frequently results in
inferior construction and consequent
e defects.
The cost OF q brick pavement de-
ponds SO much upon so many variable
factors such as the locality, freight
rates and the distance from brick
kiln that It is not possible to make
any definite estimates. The cost of
the rough grading, however. should
be considered entirely apart from the
cost Of the pavement, for the grading
would have to be done no matter what
kind of road was to be built. Elk
GLIDING this item, the bulletin already
mentioned mo. 246) furnishes the fol-
lowing formula as a rough guide for
the probable expense of brick road
with q six-inch concrete foundation
and suitable grades: Cost per square
yard equals IDOL, plus 213-C, plus
1883, plus .157-A, plus .040-B.
In this fomula c equals cost of
cement per barrel, 8 equals cost OF
sand per cubic yard, A equals cost of
coarse aggregate per cubic yard, B
equals cost Of paving brick per 1000,
and L equals cost of labor per hour.
Thus, IL labor costs rs cents an hour,
the labor cost per square yard OF
pavement will be 100 times 25 cents,
or 1880 cents. The cost Of the cement
per square yard will be .213 times the
price of barrel and so on with the
other items. II is assumed in this
formula that all materials are deliv.
cred on the work. About 10 per cent
should be allowed for wear on tools
and machinery, and for every inch sub
tracted or added to the thickness OF
the foundation there will be a CORE
