TEST GOOD ROAD MATERIALS


II is believed that the bureau Of
public roads. United States depart
ment OF agriculture. through its test
ing division has done more than any
other single agency in developing the
intelligent use Of bitumens In road
construction For example. expert
ments conducted under service con-
ditions by this bureau decided whetb-
er soft stone could be used In
bituminous macadam and bituminous
concrete: whether rocks having
marked cleavage could be used to adj
vantage In such construction; what
quantities Of bitumen give the best re-
suits when used as surface treatments
on water-bound macadam and what
kind of covering material and what
quantities should be used in any case.
A large amount Of detailed techni-
cal information valuable to highway
engineers generally has been secured
by the bureau In the course OF Its
research and experimental work. The
ability Of the highway engineer to
construct roads which would accom-
modate automobile traffic has. In no
small degree, been the underlying
reason that the automobile industry
has developed to Its present enormous
proportions.
In 1915 the passage Of the federal
aid road act marked new epoch in
highway construction in the United
States. The war then In progress EN-
phasized the need Of further develop
ments in road building. The bureau

Many reasons initiate against the
