CONCRETE ROADS DURABLE.
Wayne County, Mich, Replaces Maead-
am Roads With Cement.

Wayne County, Mich. Replaces Maead-
am Roads With Cement
Cost OF maintaining all the highways
in Wayne county, Mich, outside Of the
city Of Detroit. was reduced to 49,
1913 last year. representing q saving Of
S7,14O over the previous year, accord
ing to the eighth annual report OF the
board Of county commissioners. This
reduction is credited to the replace
ment Of certain macadam roads with
cement concrete pavement.
Ample justification for the adoption
Of the concrete road as the standard
type Of construction Is found by the
commissioners In the fact that there
are over 100 miles Of concrete road IN
Wayne county, some Of it In It's sixth
year Of service. without the Semblance
Of q rut and without a single twenty
FIVE foot section having been taken up
and replaced since the county has been
building and developing this type Of
road. It is comparatively low In first

good traction for all types Of vehicles:
it is not slippery: It IS durable; It does
not require excessive yearly mainte-
nance charges: It Is disable 3G5 days In
the year irrespective Of weather.
AS a result OF the succe OF the
Wayne county roads the city Of Detroi:
built or let contracts for 139.1O7 square
yards Of concrete streets previous to
1913 and laid eight similar streets in
that year agereSating 1902 square
yards. Wyandotte. Mich: Oakland
county. adjoining Wayne, md Windsor
and walkervTle. Ontario. have all built
or contracted for 4 considerable yard
age Of concrete streets and roads. 1t
is estimated that So. 100000 worth Of
the type OF construction will he built
this year in this country and Canada.

ne Unfted States department of ag-
rculeurs Is now gathering information
Which, when complete, should not only
Epo the total mileage of public roads
hEhe United States and their cost.
but Should serve as q basis for estl-
mating <te relative value OF the differ
ent kinds Of highways. Some 1900
- Of inquiry blanks have already
been distributed through the state
Midway commissions, and some Of
these are now beginning to come back
70 the department. Each set consists
1t four cards.
OF these the first asks for informa-
don on the mileage Of different classes
Of roads in the county to which It Is
sent. The mileage does not include.
Of course, streets In cities and towns.
The roads are divided into ten classes
Is follows: Brick paved, concrete.
macadam. with the addition Of some
substance such as asphalt, oil or tar;
plain macadam, gravel, shell, other
hard surfaced roads. sand and clay
mixture properly graded and drained.
ordinary earth roads properly con
structed and. finally, unimproved roads.
The second card asks for information
IN regard 10 the tax rate for the roads
and the amount of work and money ex.
pended on them.
The third blank Is concerned with
the names Of local road officials and
the fourth with facts in regard to the
bond issues and the Indebtedness OF
tie counties for their road systems.
As there are approximately 1900
counties In the United States. in many
Of which the mileage has never even
been estimated. It Is hardly probable
that this preliminary survey will be
exact. The department, however, viii
be able to detect any excessively mac
curate report, for the road mileage per
.quare mile Of territory does not vary
excessively. Except in desert or IN
developed country less than half y
mile Of public road to every square
mile Of territory Is rare, while in the
most thickly populated rural sections
the maximum IS no more than two AMI
one-half or three miles. Thus IL
France there is an average for the en-.
tire country of 1.T6 to a square mile.
In Italy, however. this has fallen to
os6, possibly on account Of the noun
tainous character of much Of the pen
tnsula and Of Sicily and Sardinia.
In America the average is approx
mately o.s0 mile. which in view of the
fact that much Of the country is sparse
~. settled seems unduly high. An ex.
PLANTATION, however. is TO be found in
the fact that in many states the law
provides that each section line shall be
apnbiic road. Thus. for example. there
are in the state Of Iowa alone more
than 10000 miles of legal highways,
manifestly q much larger mileage than
is required by traffic.
When the information in regard to
the existing roads which the depart
ment IS now seeking is complete it is
ths intention TO continue the inquiry
year after year III order to ascertain
the desirabEtity and economy Of the
various highways. The data thus co..
hetsd should he useful to road eqsi

j. By establishing good roads the
highway becomes IN indueenent
to the farmer to transport farm
produce In motor trucks, which
make possible more trips to mar
. ket each day when the distance
is not too great. 1t also has the
. economic effect OF expanding the
farming area from which a city
. may draw its produce. By thus
drawing more lands into its gar
. den area it increases the value Of
. those lands and enlarges the sup
. ply Of produce in the market.
This exerts a twofold influence
. first, By increasing the supply
. Of produce In the market. and.
. second. by reducing the transpor-
tatIon cost. The logic may be
, explained as follows: To make a
rough and soft road smooth and
hard is the equivalent to reduc-
ing n railroad curve to a straight
line-it shortens the haul-for
distance may be shortened as
well by hours and minutes as by
miles.-E. A. Jones, Pennsylva-

WHITE WINGS" IS SOLD.
American Schooner Noted for Speed
Passes to Portuguese Ownership.

The three-masted schooner White
Wings. one of the fleet of exceptionally
speedy vessels that made famous the
clipper ships that traded between the
Chesapeake and Rio Janeiro in the
coffee trade, is to end her days under
foreign flag. The White Wings
was formerly a barkentine. and was
built at Baltimore in 1889 as one of the
Stewart fleet of coffee clippers.
With the decline of the business the
White Wings was sold by her original
owners to David Baird of Philadelphia,
who changed her into three-masted
schooner. The new owner is Moraen
Limtoda. a merchant of Lisbon, Por-
tugal, who paid $1,000 for the vessel.
She registers 64S tons gross and is l6S

OYSTERS PLENTIFUL TODAY.
Dealers at Wharf Say Demands Will
Re Fully Met

Late yesterday afternoon the few
vessels lying at the wharf had aboard
less than 300 bushels OF oysters, but
the dealers stated it is pretty certain
that two or three of the oyster-running
fleet will be here this morning early,
so that there will proba bly, be no scare
ity Of fine oysters at the wharf today
Those who visit the wharf for their
Sunday feast of freshly shucked oysters
should find vessels there with both Po-
tomac and bay stock. and It is stated
that the oysters on hand are exception
ally fine.
Oysters from the Potomac beds should
sell at about so cents a bushel In small
lots. and from that figure prices will
range up to dollar and higher a
bushel for oysters from the eastern
shore of Chesapeake bay. The water
in the river is now becoming cold
enough to make oysters fat and good,
and with stock fresh from the beds no
better oysters can he had anywhere.
