MAINTENANCE COST OF ROADS
Ultimate Economy of Concrete Road
Depends on the Small Amount
Needed to Keep 1t Up.

The cost of a road involves not only
first cost but the cost of keeping it
in continuously disable condition. If
this were not so the cheaply built
gravel road would be entirely suit
able for our main travelled thorough
fares The ultimate economy of the
concrete road depends upon the eX-
tremely small amount of money re
quired to keep it in excellent condi-
tion. The only maintenance needed on
a well built concrete road is that nee
essary to keep filed with tar the joints
and the cracks that may develop. The
1919 report of the state commissioner
Of highways of New York gives the
average cost of maintenance for the
three years 1915. 1916, and 1917 as fol-
lows: Macadam, $4,000 per mile per
year for the maintenance of 2,40S
miles; gravel, $S24.0O per mile per
wear for the maintenance of IT'S miles
first-class concrete. $124OO per mile
per year fer the maintenance of 264
miles.

INDIA HOME OF TREE FERN

Dignity of a Splendid, Full
Grown Tree.

When we visit a botanical gardeT
and behold specimens OF palms and
ferns so luxuriant that their crowns
nearly touch the gIass-dOmed conServ-
atory, we rarely pause to realize
that in their native haunts these trop-
zeal plants are trees. AT Darjeeling,
India, for instance. is the tree fern
found i'm its greatest glory. The first
few miles of the 2-foOt gauge railway
journey from Calcutta passes through
dense jungle. with a vegetation of
tropical Iuxuriance. Grass is Is feet

There are no tree ferns in the Unit

portions of the mountains of jamaica.
tree ferns form half or more OF the
forced vegetation, their trunks vary

AS to Brevity.

OF course brevity can be carried too
far, may be awkward and inarticuIate
and incomplete. We may be brief and
tedious at the same time. Some one

voltaire. Every good. but 1t drags in

of a dull oaf: 1.-The laconic ass makes
brevity ridiculous" We do not want
to make brevity ridiculous or let 1t
make us So
Nevertheless, we should all do well
to cultivate and practice brevity. and

Meredith, secretary Of agriculture,
stated his belief that in the western
states. where large areas of govern

government should adopt a system Of
financial cooperation more liberal to
the states than is the case IN the rest
Of the country.
= think we must recognize the fact
that the existence Of these large areas
Of government lands places these
states III somewhat different situa-
ton from the remainder Of the coun-

would be only equitable for the fed

centage of cooperation over the
present basis I am also heartily in
favor Of continuing the appropriations
for the building Of national forest
roads These forests constitute a
great natural resource, and their
preservation and development is ma
tional responsibility which ought to
be met in fun measure.
Mr. Meredith advocated active con-
tinuatlon Of present federal and state
cooperation in connection with state
road systems with the systems Of adj
joining states in order that the work
