SergeantsviIle Revival Ends.

The MacClure Evangelistic services
held in the Sergeantsville M. E.
Church were completed Sunday even
ing after fonr weeks course, and
Rev. James B. MacClure received a
free will offering of STAT.
While the meetings were not so
highly successful in the number of
trail hitters, the total being but
eighteen-seven one night and eleven
another-it undoubtedly awakened
spiritual life of the community, as
Mr.. MacClure was a forceful speaker,
who did not hesitete to drive home
to the people what he thought their
duties should be. Mrs. MacClure,
and Miss Bessie O. Lane, the singer,
left with the Evangelist for Tamaqua.

Active work will be continued in

arranged for the Brethren church
on Thursday evening, to be held at
the parsonage, and one for the M.

adam or penetration" surfaces on or
dinary traffic highways.
Another factor In the spread Of as
phaltic highway construction is thai
old macadam and other hard-surface
roads can be used as foundations foI
new asphaltic wearing surfaces, while
In the case of other types of roads II
is necessary to throw away the invest
ment in old macadam and to build
from the ground up.
The Most For the Least Money.
Taking $25O0O as the maximum cost
of a 20 IT. roadway, the thinking com
munity will ask itself the question
Can we get something that will an
swer the same purpose for less money
Dirt roads will not answer. Plain mac
adam will not stand the traffic But
asphalt macadam properly constructed
has proved that it can carry any traf-
fic encountered on a country road and
at saving of thousands of dollars a
mile, not only in first cost but in the
interest charges that must be provid
ed year after year. At $50 a $25,000
road costs $1250 annually for interest
A $4,000 road costs only $3.50 year
for interest Here is saving Of $500
a mile or more than enough to keep
the lower cost highway in repair In
definitely.
OF course this is only the A, B, @ of
road construction and economics, but
everything said here is worth thinking
of In connection with our local road
problems.

Chamber Of Commerce Busy

A special meeting of the Board Of
Trustees of the Lambertville Cham
ber of Commerce was held Tuesday
vening at Secretary Hayhurst's Of
flee with Messrs. George w. Arnett,
Walter F. Hayhurst, Jonathan M.
Lambert, George w. Massey and
Theodore G. Kitchin present, to con-
slider two or three possible industries,
and act upon other matters.
Two industries are under consider
alton, and Secretary Hayhurst was
directed to continue the correspon-
dence with view to making arrange
ments for their location here.
The annual meeting is scheduled
for May 4, and whether a banquet
will be held at the same time will be
decided by vote of the members
who will be sent cards. A most
successful banquet was held lastyear
but whether it is desirable this year
the trustees could not determine
without hearing from the other
members.

The A, 3, G. of Road Building

What is the best road2 is foolish
question on the face of it. The way
the question should be put is this:
What kind Of road will give US the
most service for our money!
1t Is possible to pay too much as well
40 to pay too little for a road, al
though the latter is the fault into which
most communities fall. There are good
roads Of several types. and bad roads
Of almost every imaginable type
Asphalt, brick and concrete are the
A, B, G of roads. Brick at once DIFF
ferentiates itself from the other two
by reason of the fact that 1t is a pave
ment composed of small units, while
asphalt is a monolithic or one-piece
pavement Asphalt and concrete are
most clearly distinguished one from
the other by the fact that asphalt is
malleable and plastic, while concrete Is
hard and brittle.
Tried -out Merit.
In one community a certain form Of
construction will be very popular. In
The Lambertville record., 1916-04-27

another community the same form of
construction would not be tolerated.
Local prejudice, cheapness and other
considerations only incidentally con-
nected with the real merit Of type
of road determine these variations.
Throughout the country, however, but
more particularly in the states where
road building along advanced lines has
been going on for many years, as
phaltic road construction is found to
an ever-increasing extent. This rep
resents experience and the tried-out
merit of bituminous construction rath-
er than local prejudice.
Neither Most Costly Nor Cheapest.
Where systematic road building has
been going on for twelve or fifteen
years, every form of construction has
been tried, and conclusion reached
as to which form gives the most road
service for the money expended.
In such communities we find neither
the most expensive nor the cheapest
roads We find asphaltic concrete on
heavy traffic roads and asphalt mac
