do nothing. The reasonableness of a
set of conditions depends, according
10 Mr. Alderman, upon the people liv-

He refuses to limit his definition OF
the term. city planning. 1t Is not
merely series OF legislative acts i'm
posing set of conditions TO which n
peoples life must be worked into con-

Something like three-fourths OF all

ESTIMATING COST OF ROADS
Much Depends on Type Of Construc
ton and Amount OF Grading to
Re Done-Some Figures.

The cost OF road Is dependent
upon not only the type of construction
but the amount and character OF
grading to be done, the cost OF labor
and materials, the width and thick.
ness of surfacing. the character and
amount OF drainage required, and
other factors OF equal variability.
Based upon general averages. II has
been ascertained by highway special
lists VI the department that under
average conditions macadam roads can
be built in southern states at from
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile, gravel roads
at from $500 to $500 per mile, and
sand.clay and topsoil roads at from
$500 to $1,000 per mile.
In New England and the other east
ern states macadam roads are report
ed at from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile,
gravel roads at from $4,000 to $1,000,
and bltuminous macadam from $4,000
