CONSTRUCTION OF GOOD ROAD
Concrete Highway Is Composed Of
Mixture of Sand, Stone, Portland
Cement and Water.

The concrete road Is composed of
a carefully proportional mixture of
clean, hard, well-graded sand, peb-
bles or broken stone, portland cement
and water. This mixture is faid upon
the subgrade to a depth of Z inches
or more for the entire width of the
road. and soon hardens into a mass
bonded together by the cement so firm
ly that 1t Is impossible for traffic to
loosen or separate the particles. For
this reason no expensive maintenance
is required.
The foundation or subgrade is COM
pacted where the concrete is to be
laid and the roadbed is drained so
that no water will remain under the
slab, writes A. L. Pettibone In Dakota
Farmer. Upon the foundation con-
crete is laid in one or two courses.
A one-course concrete road consists of
a relatively rich concrete mixture
throughout. A two-course road con-
sists of q somewhat leaner mixture for
a base with a richer top or wearing
course, applied before the concrete in
the base has begun to harden. FIRE.
quently reinforcement in. the form of
wire fabric or steel rods is embedded
in the concrete. This assists to pre-
vent cracks in the slab and aids in
keeping cracks which may form from
opening to any appreciate extent.
The high wearing quality of the o
crete road results from using properly
graded, clean, hard sand and pebbles
or crushed rock. These must be COM
bined with portland cement in care

"Ah! !" he said In utter despair, show

All of a sudden he heard a splash
and, looking around. he saw his friend
Green struggling In the water. With

off to the local house agent.
Quick he gasped. Screen has

ENDANGERED BY
WATER sEEPAeE


 PHOENIX, April 2S.-Sepage water is now rising in the basement of the capitol building and with the floors of the two furnace rooms covered with nearly foot of water, serious situation has arisen. Unless some thing can be- done to prevent the fur ther rise of the water, the furnaces will be subject to considerable damage as well as the walls of the building itself, it is admitted
 According to H. M Alexander, su- perintendent of the capitol building and grounds, seepage water has al ways given more or less trouble, bu; the situation this year is far more than in any previous season. In dis cussing the matter he said:
 The furnace rooms were dry all winter as the water was not turned into the big canals until March 15. Shortly after water began to make it's appearance and we have had trouble ever since. 1 understand the same difficulty has been encountered in the new addition, though the seepage there has been stopped, I believe"
 The water is now standing on the floor of both furnace rooms at about eight inches, and whenever the lawns are watered the level rises muca higher To overcome the difficulty it is proposed to tear up the present concrete floor and put down new con crete a foot or more in thickness.
