DIRT FLIES ON
STATES ROADS
Highway Department Issues
Statemen About Start
of Work

Road construction and mainte-
nance is under way in earnest on
the highways in PENNSYLVANIA. The
spring oiling of highways is proceed
ing in many sections of the State,
and much reSurfacing of macadam
roads is being done. necessitating
the use of bituminous compounds
on which is placed stone chips or
pea gravel. Temporary inConven-
fence is resulting because of the
great activity of the Highway De-
partment and contractors, but this
inconvenience is part of the cost
Pennsylvania is paying for better
highways.
The Highway Depar ment has is
sued the following statement: The
State Highway Department in lay
ing out detours past highways
stretches on which construction is
under way chooses the best possible
thoroughfares. 1t very frequently
happens that the best possible de-
tour is a township road, not under
the direction of the State Highway
Departm ent. Where this occurs the
department will ask township su-
pervisors TO pay particular attention
to the condition of the detour. so
that the unusual volume of traffic
may be cared for as eXpeditiously as
possible.
There are many detours now in
Use, and so many are contemplated
during the departments four-year
program, that it has become neces-
sary to discard the old cardboard
system of direction: and in the
near future metal signs will be in
use, arrows pointing the proper di-
rection,
I'm the case of surface road treat
ment, where dust-layers are employ
ed or resurfacing being done: Orders
have been issued that only one-half
the thoroughfare may be treated at
a time. Weather conditions govern
the period in which highways so
treated will resume normal condi-
ton. Rain will interfere with pene-
tration, but in warm, dry weather
oiled or resurfaced roads are in ex-
cellent condition within three days
of treatment. while a week after the
date of treatment. absolutely no in
convenience should be encountered.
Pennsylvania road users will find
more detours necessary and more
surface treatment under way this
summer than ever before-because
the State is building more roads and
making more improvements than
ever before. Temporary inconven-
fence is part of the cost the State
must pay for better roads"
