MATERIAL FOR ROAD MAKING
Careful Study of Amount and chsrae
ter Of Traffic Is First Important
Essential.

Professor House of the Colorado Ag-
ricultural college is one of the best
known engineers in Colorado. He has
been head Of the civil engineer depart
ment at that college for several years
and has always been in close contact
with the affairs Of the state. In speak
ing about roads, Professor House
says:
"a great deal of agitation is being
carried on at the present time, con-
corning the construction of concrete
roads for Colorado. That some of our
roads should be paved in this way.
there is no question, but I think we
should carefully guard against over
doing the matter. In order to be justi-
fable, road improvements must return
in economic and social benefits an
amount at least equal to the interest.
depreciation and maintenance, over
and above those of the old road.
at is exactly the same as in ordi-
nary business. The amount that should
be invested in road improvement is
that sum which will give the largest
annual returns in benefits to the peo-
pie OF the community.
at may be real economy to spend
$4,000 per mile for one road and only
$1,000 per mile for another, if the for
mer carries more than ten times the
service and costs just ten times as
much.
Before we run wild upon the sub
jet of concrete surfacing for roads of
Colorado the proper classification OF
the roads, and a careful study of the
amount and character of the traffic
