In the making Of these roads a good
grade Is first thrown up, and afterward
an eight inch coating Of gravel is
placed In the center OF the highway.
1t requires approximately 300 yards
per mile OF finished road, and most OF
this has been put in place at cost Of
70 cents per yard. This cost includes
the leveling OF the gravel to a width OF
