PLAN FOR ROAD MANAGEMENT
Essential to Successful Highway Ad-
minstration Outlined Briefly
Cut Out Politics.

Summarized briefly, the essentials
to successful state highway admins
tration, as. demonstrated by the eX-
perience Of the various state high
way departments, are as follows: (a)
The elimination of politics as a fac
tor in state highway work; Cd the
control by the state highway depart
ment of all work on which state funds
are expended; (c) adequate appro-
priations for continuous maintenance
of highways under efficient super
vision from the day the highways are
completed; (d) state supervision as to
surveys, plans, and specifications of
roads and bridges constructed UNI
der bond issues, and supervision of
such other road and bridge work as
requires considerable cash outlay and
the exercise of engineering skill and
nowledge.--Y earbook United States

QUESTION OF BETTER ROADS
Poor Policy for Farmer to Refuse to
Listen to Arguments for Improve
ment of Highways.

1t wouldn't do any of us any harm
to look thoroughly into the question
of better roads. Don't be narrow
enough to take one side of the question
and refuse to listen to any facts or
opinions advanced on the other side.
A man told us the other day that he
had been trying to talk to another
man who had an entirely erroneous
opinion in regard to the federal aid
proposition. HE literally wouldn't
listen to me-" he said. His head was
SO full of the wrong idea that no sound
seemed able to penetrate it." To
listen is not necessarily to be con-
WINGED, and to refuse to listen Is to
refuse to be broad minded enough to
hear both sides and form real opin-
ion.-Twentieth Century Farmer.

MOST ECONOMICAL OF ROADS
Macadam Is Reaainin9 Favor With
Modern Builders, Who Are Now
Looking at Annual Cost.

few years ago road builders
Joined in a universal requiem for the
old-fashioned water-bound macadam
road in New York state. 1t served its
purpose when vehicles were all horse
drawn, it was acknowledged, but with
the advent of motor vehicles it was
laid aside with the muzzle leaders,
crinolines and other prides of depart
ed days. But recently the macadam
road has come back again into
favor. This is because road of
ficials are now judging the cost
of road by its total annual expense,
including maintenance and sinking
fund. On this basis it has been dis
covered that macadam road is an

Macadam Road in New York.

economical one for certain classes OF
travel. This was the opinion expressed
at the recent meeting of the New York
State association of County Highway
superintendent by many of those
present.
Practically all the recent roads built
by these men have two courses Of
broken stone, and frequently it is pos
sible to build the roads with lower
course of cheap local stone, using the
more expensive stone from distance
for the upper course only. This re-
duces the first cost without causing
any reduction in the life and strength
of the road. When they are finished
they are sometimes treated at once
with tar or asphalt, but usually this
treatment is deferred long enough for
travel over the road to reveal any
weak spots, so they can be repaired be-
fore the oiling is done. 1t is this de-
velopment of efficient and economical
methods of maintenance with the help
of road oils which has led to the
renaissance of water-bound macadam
in New York. 1t is one of many recent
indications that where the work OF
maintenance is thoroughly done and
cost records of it are properly kept
important light is thrown on the best
types of construction to carry travel
of different classes and intensities.
