The sum of $525 per mile. en- ar aver

Of trafiic are not excessive. It must
be understood, however, that in many
instances where macadam snfiiced for
the volume and character Of traffic
prior to 1905, it win not Withstand the
action OF the motor vehicle traffic
which has developed since that time.
Many miles, of ordinary Or water
bound macadam road have been re-
surfaced with 5ituminous materials.
and many miles of new bituminous-
macadam have been constructed. The
logical maintenance of such highways
is . surface treatment with bitumi-
nous material and rock screenings.
clean gravel. or sharp sand. The cost
of such surface treatment is from
TO IL cents per square yard, and It
may be expected to last from one to
three years, according to the density
of trafilc and the success of the appli.
cation. theoretically, perfect surface
treatment would constitute absolute
maintenance for bituminous-mac-
adam road. Such maintenance 10
seldom or never realized and bitumi-
nous-macadam roads doubtless require
resurfacing at intervals. The cost of
such resurfacing is not yet known.
Repair and Maintenance. e.
The average cost for repair and
maintenance nf 1900 miles Of highway.
In Connecticut, Massachusetts, New
York. New Jersey and Rhode Island,
for tie year 1912. was about $500 per
rnile. A large part Of this money was
expended for bituminous resurfacing
and bitumfnous surface treatment.
There is some question whether the
expenditure correctly n easures the
average cost Of repairing and main.
taining bituminous-macadAm roads.
In the state OF New York, however,
for the years 1911 and 1912 the aver
age cost for repair and maintenance
was $724 per mile upon q total aver.
age of 1851 miles. The annual cost

ckusetts state roads for the years
1916. 1911 and 1912 was. respectively,
$s42. e647 and sS76 per mile for about

setts represent the cost per mile oi

bombardment of increasing intensity
is reported in the French official
communication issued Monday.
Fierce German attacks were deliv-

Germans suffered serious losses. the
French line between LIE Mort Homme

Exceptionally heavy French losses
are reported by Berlin in connection
with the German advance south of
Haucourt, by which the Bavarian and
Silesian troops now occupy the
heights of the so-called Termiten hill.

cials to face frankly the cost of the
maintenance and repair of bond-built
highways at the time the bonds are
issued and before construction begins.
A q matter Of fact, Investigations
made by the department show that In
the majority of cases where bonds
have been issued by local authorities
there has been no provision whatever
foF maintaining the roads when built.
This is perhaps the greatest defect in
the method of building highways by

Maintenance is necessary in order
to insure to the community the maxi

and also to preserve the Investment
The cost Of maintenance and repairs

Cost ef Malntsnanes.
The following opinions as to main
tenance cost represent the results of
careful analyses Of state highway re-
ports, as we'll as much. first-hand in
formation gathered by the depart
ment's specialists:
Well-constructed gravel roads will
sometimes sustain several years of
farm traaic without showing marked
deterioration. even when there has
been NO maintenance. Such roads
sometimes actually improve during
the second season; more frequently,
however. they show ruts or chuck
holes. It cannot be expected that the
average life Of gravel surface will
be greater than that Il . macadam
surface. which in the New England
and eastern states IL between six and
seven years. II . sum equal to two
thirds Ut the original cost of the
gravel surface itself IL provided for
renewals at six-year intervals, 1t
should be estimated at frem $3.50 to
$3.50 per mile per year. II $50 10 then
allowed for annual dragging and small
repairs, the total annual cost Of re-
pair and maintenance for gravel roads
would be from $50 to $3.50 per mile.
The annual cost Of maintenance alone

nington county. VT. during 1919, ITS
miles Of gravel roads were maintained
At cost Of s2070 per mile. The an
nual cost OF maintenance and repair
ON sand-clay roads, including all nec
essary resurfacing at periodic inter.

10 per cent Of the original cost.

The cost Of repair and maintenance
for water-bound macadam roads has
been determined with considerable ex-
actness from Massachusetts figures

other states and in Germany. Prior

DURANGO REPORTED DEAD LINE
BEYOND WHICH AMERICANA
WILL NOT PURSUE VILLA.
OUTLAW NEAR PARRAL
RELATIONS OF DE FAcTo TROOPS
AND AMERICAN SOLDIERS
IS FRIENDLY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

San Antonio, Tex, April 12.-News
from the front indicating contact with
the Villa troops was awaited with
anxiety at headquarters by Gen. Fun
ston, who realized fully the dangerous
position in which the commanding Of
iicers of the cavalry detachments be-
yond Satevo had placed themselves.
Ell Paso.--To keep pace with the
rapidly lengthening lines of communi-
cations the wireless station at Nami-
quipa has been moved farther south.
The field telegraph already extends
to Galeana
In the meantime Villa was south
of the Durango state line, which ru-
mors persist is the deadline beyond
which President Wilson is reported to
have ordered American forces not to
pursue Villa.
Villa, with force of 200 followers.
is reported making his way to Du-
range to make conjunction with
Canuto Reyes and his band.
American troops are not believed to
have crossed the Durango line. al
though they probably are close to it
around Parral. Villa is at least fifty
miles ahead of the most advanced
American column and in territory ul-
favorable for swift pursuit.
Confirmation of reports that Fran
cisco villa was in the neighborhood of
Parral, or had passed it was brought
to Juarez by Gen. Francisco Bertani,
the Carranza commander at Madeira.
The last fight between Carranzistas
and Villistas occurred at San Fran
cisco de Borja four days ago. the gen
eral said. the Villistas being defeated
and leaving behind them a number
of dead and wounded.
Gen. Bertani said he had absolute
confirmation that Villa had been
wounded. The bandit was shot in the
left leg, he sail, and was further
injured when his horse fell on him,
breaking the bones of the leg.
s He reported detachments of the
American forces at Santa Ana and
Namiquipa.
Both Gen. Gavira and Gen. Bertani
asserted they had no knowledge that
limit had been placed on the opera
tions of American troops in Mexico.
Il understand, however" Gen. Ber-
tani added, that the American forces
will be willing to withdraw as soon as
the villista organizations are thor
oughly broken up. So far the re-
Iations of the de facto troops and the
American soldiers have been friendly
and cooperative There has not been
"a single unpleasant incident"

Secretary Baker both declined to
comment Monday on border reports
that an agreement between Washing
ton and the Carranza government had
fixed dead line" beyond which the
American troops would not go in pur-
suit of the villa bandits.

or tolerant and reasonable; selfish or
unselfsh; conceited or modest
thoughtful or unthlnking; these and
many others are samples Of vast va

from which every person may choose
as they desire. But every person
