CThe following article on concrete
roads was contained in a recent copy
OF the Weekly News Letter published
by the Bureau OF Roads Of the u 8.
Department Of Agrieulture) ~
The mileage Of concrete pavements
In the Emitted States has increased
rapidly and Il IL likely to continue TO
increase, according TO new bulletin
os the department. This bulletin
gives the estimated amount OF con
crete pavement Ia the United States
in 1914 as 1920, 900 square yards; IN
1909 Il was only $4,000 square yards.
The principal advantages Of con-
crete pavements which have led to
this increase in popularity are said to
be:
Cd DURABILITY under ordinary traf.
fic conditions.
CD A smooth. even surface offer
ing little resistance.
CD Absence of dust and ease with
which Il may be cleaned.
t4) Comparatively small cost Of
maintenance until renewals are neces.
sart
fS) Availability as base for an
other type Of surface II desired.
t6) Attractive appearance.
Not Proved BY Practice, a
IN commenting upon these advar-
tages the bulletin states that the dur
ability of concrete roads has not yet
been proved by actual practise be-
cause there are no, very old pave,
ments as yet In existence. but from
the condition OF those which have IN
dergOne several years service It seems
probable that they viii be found to
wear well.
The disadvantages Of concrete as a
road surface are:
Cd Its noise under horse traffic.
CD The wearing OF the necessary
joints IN the pavement and the ten
dency to crack, with its consequent
rapid deterioration
go The difficulty Of repairs when
these become necessary.
In the past efforts have frequently
been made to overcome these objec-
tions to certain degree by covering

how times have changed. The Chi

know what to say on the subject and
few are making any comment.
No information has been received
by the foreign office at Toxic as to
the extent of the movement for a
monarchy in China. An official Of the
foreign office gives his opinion that
as far as President Yuan, himself, is
concerned It makes no difference whe-

some of the supporters of President
Yuan have started the movement of
their own accord =.
1t is generally believed that the
Yuan men are only feeling their way.

the members OF his command He held
his position until his retirement from
the service a few years ago, in the

The funeral of Mrs. John Healey was

Safeguarding New Pavement.
The contractor who is to build the
new ameisite pavement in Main
street, having guaranteed its wear for
a period OF five years, has, through
the state highway department, required
the water company and the electric
light and gas company to excavate
and lay concrete over all surface along
their lines where excavations have
been made recently. This precaution
is to protect the new pavement from
cracks that might occur as the result
Of the ground settling under 1t where
digging and filling recently took place.
Town Bull Subject of Legal Decision.
The town bull kept at the town farm
in Dayville, doomed large in the public
questions that came before the select
men for consideration Saturday. The
point that the animals services should
be free when demanded through a
taxpayer was raised by one such and
he really started something before the
matter was finally adjusted, the ad-
vice of town counsel in the meantime
being secured on the subject. 1t was
finally agreed by a majority OF those
| giving their attention to the momen-
| tous question that the service could
| no more rightfully be demanded free
than could a bushel of potatoes. a
share Of the hay or corn or other things
| grown on the town, farm.

Representatives of the company that
is to do the paving in Main street are

is to begin at once. The first thing 70
