ROMANS AND GOOD H "
Reads Buiit Two Thousand Years Ago
Are Still in Active Service
How Constructed.

Two thousand years ago the Romans
built roads. solne Of which are still
in active service. These roads have
lasted through the centuries simply
because Of their massive construction.
The Romans built four successive
courses Or layers on the earth sub
grade. carefully prepared and drained.
First came the statumen or founda-
ton. then the roduS. next the nucleus.
and finally the pavimentum or wearing
surface, says a writer. The statumen
consisted of large fiat stones, while the
two intervening courses were built Of
smaller stones laid In lime mortar.
To carry the chariot and packhOrse
traffic Of Roman times. these roads
were seemingly ridiculously heavy, vet
the wisdom Of the builders was amply
demonstrated by the 800 years dur
ing which the Roman road system
formed the backbone of the transported
ton system OF what was the greatest
empire of al time.
We a learn a mighty profitable
lesson from the Romans. and If we
teke the lesson to heart now, standing
as we do on the threshold Of a new
highway era. we shall save ourselves
much pecuniary sorrow.
