The state has approved the plan to
have stretch of the Edgerton-J anes-
vile cement road now under construc-
ton built without expansion joints.
The custom has been to have expansion
joints every so or so feet. This is the
first attempt in this state to build with
out joints. If it proves success the
autoists will welcome the even smooth
road which does not give them the
rhythmic jolt experienced on sill jointed
cement highways. Enough bonds have
been sold to push the construction of
this road to finish. Five hundred and

struck by the gang of cement pourers
! on this road
