Inquiries regarding the cost OF
maintaining roads in different sec
tions, received by the American High
way Association, indicate that there
Is a quite general misunderstanding
of the nature OF the records frequent
ly made public by road officials. AS
a result OF this misunderstanding
statements made In good faith on good
grounds concerning the cost OF main
tanning various types OF pavements
are sometimes severely criticized as
intentionally misleading. The reason
for this misunderstanding lies In the
different points OF view regarding
road maintenance costs which are
held by some road officials and the
advocates OF special forms OF surfac-
ing The road official usually con
siders only the maintenance charge
against the whole road, which in
cludes cleaning the cutters or bitches.
keeping the culverts clear. maintain
ing the shoulders adjoining the paved
roadway in NJ condition to carry We
hicles forced to turn out on them,
cutting down the roadside vegetation
and other work OF a general charac-
ter. as well as the repair OF the paved
roadway itself Consequently part
OF the maintenance charges OF paved
roads. as ordinarily reported officially,
depends upon conditions with which
the character OF the paving has little
or nothing 10 do. On the other hand,
those advocating the use OF certain
types OF payements often base their
statements OF the cost OF maintaining
these types on the expense incurred
on the pavements themselves, regard
less OF the shoulders, bitches and
roadsides. This is perfectly legiti-
mate and II public officials reported
their maintenance costs in the same
way TO a greater extent the are OF
roadbuilding would be benefited. An
other source OF Misunderstanding re-
garding the expenses OF road main
tenance lies in the fact that the traffic
on some roads has increased to an
amount for which the pavement is
unsuited. For one reason or another
more suitable type OF pavement has
not been laid and consequently the
cost OF keeping the inadequate type
in fair condition is very high II is
plainly misleading to give the cost OF
maintaining this pavement subjected
TO excessive traffic as a fair average
OF the cost OF maintenance OF similar
pavement under the traffic for which
II is satisfactory. There is no exact
agreement among engineers as to the
amount OF traffic for which pavements
of different types are economically
suited, but an indication OF the range
is given by the following limits tenta-
lively adopted by the State Highway
Department OF Michigan 9-foot
gravel roads, up to 200 vehicles daily;
16-foot gravel and macadam roads,
200 to 500 vehicles; 16-foot macadam

PACK YOUR CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS IMMEDIATELY
FOR THE MEN IN FRANCE

Editor Star: Will you kindly give
the widest publicity to the necessity
of early mailing of packages intend
ed to reach our troops in France by
Christmas and the fact that such
packages must not exceed seven
pounds in weight.
The department advices me that
unless packages intended as Christ
mas presents for the troops in France
are deposited in the postofice on OF
before November 18th, it will not be
possible for them to reach destina-
ton by Christmas.
The department further advises
that on account of the postal regu-
lations in France, packages weighing
more than seven pounds can not be
forwarded by mail.
If you will give these facts wide
publicity it will doubtless be appre-
ciated by your many patrons.

temptation and who have strength to
resist it. 1t is no particular virtue to

do so. Others behave themselves be-
cause they are afraid to do other

One of the uses to which a portion
of the big war fund of the Y. NJ. C.
A. is to be put is that of caring for
the war prisoners. There are about
100000 men under arms for the
Allies and some six million prisoners
of war. These prisoners are really
suffering more than any of the men
under arms because they are far
from home, can get no news, never
enjoy the flush of victory, and never
see a friendly face save those Of fell
low prisoners. They are to be helped
with the money which America is to
raise between Nov. IL and 10.
