Greater usefulness and economy are

BRICK PROVES TO Be MOST
DURABLE FOR ROAD BUILDING

Wayne county. in the new road pro-
gram embracing the pavement OF
twenty-nine miles or roads to cost
something over $3.50. 900, wants the
best and most durable road at the
most reasonable price. That Is good
business and good sense.
The life Of brick road is known:
1t is about thirty-eight years under
fair conditions. and Main street, bear
ing heavy traffic, laid down from
twenty-six to twenty-eight years ago,
although 1t IL now an obsolete type
and is not as long-lived as the new
types Of brick street, bears witness
that brick under any conditions lie
long-lived. The life OF concrete and
bituminous macadam roads are not
known SO well. but have been guessed
at.
But will not the taxpayers of 1857
thirty-eight years from now, be most
thankful that the first cost Of these
20 miles OF roads, the main arteries OF
county traffic. was small, or that they
were laid durably and stoutly. and Ii
that year are still being used?

are, as The Palladium said yesterday.
going down badly. The North Tenth
street highway, laid in 1914. and a
good piece OF concrete road building,

except for patching and other repairs
to the New Paris pike and Hawkins
road, the streets and roads OF this
type have cost very little for main
tenance. Fifty dollars per mile will
cover the six years work on the New
Paris pike, says Jones.
Hilly Read Costa More
Now, the probable present cost OF
this type Of road Is easily obtained
because the county has just let the

Ohio estimate.

compelling its removal, and in these
places, the city has gone only to thG
expense Of replacing the brick proper
ly. Therefore, it Is fair to assume that
the maintenance Of this type OF road,
way will be negligible. even for the
thirty-eight years OF our experiment.
At the end of thirty-eight years, 1t
is safe TO say, both concrete and
bituminous roads will have been re
placed. There may be some doubt
about the concrete; there can be none
about the bituminous macadam
Therefore, it Is fair to add the cost OF
new roads, which hardly will be less
than $4,000 mile, to the probable
cost Of these two types to the count,
in thirty-eight years. The brick pave
ment may have been replaced, bu
with fair treatment 1t will not. Now
what is our cost to the county, for tn,
three types Of road at the end OF tn,
experiment?

slightly more expensive per mile than
the proposed pike

slightly more expensive per, mile than
the proposed pike.
The cost OF the county's share Of
this improvement, which Is an eighteen
foot roadway, is SIS, 099, or approxima-
tely $685. per square yard for 1924
yards. The cost Of the proposed six
teen foot roadway, therefore, would
be slightly under $2.65 per square
yard for 1887 square yards per mile.
Therefore, this road would cost $24,-
SIS, or slightly less per mile.
Now, the cost of maintenance of the
concrete roadway will be SO mile,
perhaps, increasing as the road grows
older, but it will never be very large.
It will be found cheaper at the end
of certain period to replace the road
than again to repair it. Contractors
Of Richmond say it is believed that a
good roadway Of this type should last
for twenty years and perhaps longer,
although II may not last this long,
under modern traffic 1t Is safe to
say that at the end of twenty-five
years time, however. the replacement
of the roadway will be under consider
alton, and in thirty-eight the new
road will certainly have been made.
Now, for a brick roadway. The es.
