ton TO the effect of the various road
surfaces ON motor vehicles instead of
considering only the damage by the
motor vehicle to the road. Compare,
for instance, the smooth residence of
Fifth Avenue. New York. paved with
sheet asphalt. with the rough. gritty anI
fiin.y surfaces so often encountered on
country roads, and try to imagine what
a tidy sum in tire bills would be saved
il We could all travel on avenue sur
faces"
Investigation shows that during the
years 1915 10 1920 the price of bitumi-
nous paving materials increased only 65
per cent while highway labor increased
$50 per cent and the price of other
$50 per cent. Costs of both labor and
road building materials rose from 90 10
materials are now on the decline, how.
ever. and there is a strong reaction in
favor Of reduced freight rates. All of
this, of course, means cheaper highways.
