CONCRETE ROADS

While in Wisconsin on my vaca-
ton | had an opportunity TO in
spect some of their concrete roads
and am convinced they are the
coming thing.
They are building them ten feet
wide and six 10 eight inches thick,
using a mixture Of one part &C.
ment to two parts gravel or crushed
rock.
They told me, where material was
at hand the cost was practically the
same as macadam, and Of course
once built, very little repair is ne
cessary. for there are no mud holes
10 splash deeper with every pass
ing rig, and no binder TO be blown
away by speeding autos. There is
no exposure Of rough stone to des-
troy tires; no mud and no dust.
Why not build them in Kentucky A?
Very sincerely yours.
