has consistently Followed this prac-
tice. The originally improved roads
In Maryland were comparatively in
expensive. costing only what the tax
payers were willing to pay for. The
irst few years the average cost was
less than $4,000 a mile, In some
cases the work entailed considerable
grading and drainage, but In others
It amounted simply, to ~resurfacing the
old turnpikes, which had already
been graded and drained,
Generally the roads built at that
time were, maeadam.s IL feet wide
and six inches thick, Soon the width
was increased to IA feet, Later many
were widened, still farther, some very
successfully, by adding concrete shout
ders on each side of the existing
macadam. This method of improving
roads makes 1t possible for traffic to
continue unimpeded on the road while
the work Is going on. sssfess

the mouth of the pitcher. The Dnies-

of the province, Flowing out Of the
crown lands at Galicia. the river runs
east in general direction for approx
mately fifty miles. Then 1t turns
southeast for ninety miles to Dniester
bay, an arm of the Black sea- some
fifteen miles from Odessa, Russia's
principal porte ON that inland body Of
water. The Pruth river, flowing out
Of Gaiicia, runs east for about twenty
miles, then turns southeast for a hun

west of south to its confluence with
the Danube. Sense.
