TWO WAYS OF SEEING THINGS.

A robin and O sparrow sat on the
limb of a tree, sheltered from the rain
which was softly falling, making every
thing green and sweet.
Il never saw such weather" said
the sparrow; everything will be wet
and the grounds muddy" H.
Il think IT is nice,' said the robin;
everything will be clean and the
whole country will be green" Y
This weather is too hot" said the
sparrow; II do not like It,"
"Oh! l like II, said the robin; "the
corn will grow and the cherries, too.
Do you like the cold weather." he
asked the sparrow.
NO." replied the sparrow; that is
the trouble with this world; 1t is all
wrong; it is either too cold or too
hot"
why do you not go South, as l do.

robin.
1T is too far to travel" replied the
sparrow. Now look at that sun shin

rain did ont keep on falling, as Long
as 1t had started"
I'VE can find plenty OF worms
now"
"They will all be big ones" said
the sparrow. II like the little ones
best; besides, It is too muddy. l shall
stay here a while where 1t is cool"
Yes, 1t ia nice and cool after the
shower" said the robin; "the breeze
will soon dry the trees"
"And wen all get cold, suppose,
said the sparrow; "the idea OF breeze
like this blowing after shower! Yes,
l am sure | shall take cold"
There is the maid throwing us
crumbs" said the robin; "let us fly
down and get them"
"She is probably putting them
there 30 the cat will get us when we
pick them up" said the sparrow.
"Oh! no." said the robin. she is a
kind-hearted girl and often throws
them out for the birds"
So the sparrow flew down with the
robin.
They are nice crumbs, remarked
the robin as he hoped about.
They are too big" said the spar.

Those hens have everything where
they can find It," said the sparrow.
I'VE have the benefit of 1t also,
said the robin.
THAT may be-" said the sparrow
but no one ever put out a basin OF
water for us. II Is hard world. This

repairs, such as patching, cleaning
culverts, etc, and from $500 to $425
per year was the necessary annual
charge in order to resurface at pc
RODS varying from six to seven years.
The sum of $525 per mile, on an aver.
age, should therefore maintain mac
adam roads IL changes and increases
of traffic are not excessive. 1t must
be understood, however, that in msny
instances where macadam sufficed for
the volume and character of traffic
prior to 1906, 1t will 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 bituminous materials,
and many miles of new bituminous-
macadam have been constructed. The
logical maintenance of such highways
is a surface treatment with bitumi-
clean gravel, or sharp sand. The cost
Of such surface treatment is from 4
to IL cents per square yard, and 1t
may be expected to last from one to
three years, according to the density
Of traffic and the success of the appli-
cation. theoretically, perfect surface
treatment would constitute absolute
maintenance for a bituminous-mac-
adam road. Such maintenance is
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.
The average cost for repair and
maintenance of 1900 miles of highway
in Connecticut, Massachusetts,, New
York, New Jersey and Rhode Island,
for the year 1912, was about $500 per
expended for bituminous resurfacing
and bituminous surface treatment.
There is some question whether the
expenditure correctly measures the
average cost Of repairing and main
tanning 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 1924 per mile upon a total aver.
age Of 1851 miles. The annual cost
of repair and maintenance on Massa
chusetts state roads for the years
1910, 1911 and 1912 was, respectively
S642, SCAT and $676 per mile for about
| $50 miles. For the most part these
| figures for New York and Massachu
sets represent the cost per mile OF
resurfacing with bituminous material
and Of maintaining bituminous-macad
am and water-bound macadam roads
by surface treatment with bituminous
material. 1t is clear, therefore, that
for heavy traffic trunk line roads $70(
per mile is not an excessive estimate
at present for the annual cost of all
repair and maintenance on bitumi-
nous-macadam roads.

Gals to face frankly the cost of the
maintenance and repair of bond-built

AS a matter of fact, Investigations
made by the department show that in
the majority of cases where bonds

there has been no provision whatever
for maintaining the roads when built.
This is perhaps the greatest defect in
the method of building highways by

Maintenance il necessary in order

The cost of maintenance and repairs

Well-constructed gravel roads will
sometimes sustain several years Of
farm traffic 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 q gravel surface will
be greater than that Of a macadam
surface. which in the New England

thirds of the original cost OF the
gravel surface itself is provided for
renewals at six-year intervals, II
should be estimated at from $3.50 to
$3.50 per mile per year. II $50 is then
allowed for annual dragging and small
repairs. the total annual cost OF re-
pair and maintenance for gravel roads
would be from $3.50 to $3.50 per mile
The annual cost Of maintenance alone
Is sometimes below $50. In Ben
nington county. VT, during 1912. lie
miles of gravel roads were maintained
at cost of 5000 per mile. The an
nual cost of maintenance and repair
on sand-clay roads, including all nee
essary resurfacing at periodic inter
walls, should not be fixed at less thar
10 per cent of the original cost.
