GOOD
GRAVEL FOR ECONOMIC ROAD
Summary o. Important Points Brought
Out in Recent Address by Wiscon.
sin Engineer.

Gravel roads are given q strong roc.
ommendation as economic highways by
A. II. Hirst. Wisconsin state highway
engineer. Not only SO, but he Is Of
the firm opinion that the economic
service of a gravel road il proportion
ate to its worth. In other words, IL Z
gravel roadway Is feet wide has a life
or service of three to five years. then
the addition of 10 feet will increase
Its ~serviceable life to six or possibly
ten years.
"These figures are not definite"
says Mr.. Hirs1. "they merely express
the comparison which 1t is sought to
emphasize. Moreover this comparison
does not hold true, nor is any broad
assertion Of the worth OF gravel roads
quite true unless there is continuous
maintenance. Wherever gravel roads
are giving notable service good main
enance is as much the reason as is
good construction in the 1rSt place"
Mr.. Hirst recently gave nm import
ant address on this subject and the
following is q condensed summary of
The main points in his discussion:
/. The prime factor In determining
the relative service value OF highways
is whether they serve traffic effective
~ and i~nexpensively.
2. Preliminary traffic censuSeS art
valueless as aids in pavement type sc
lection.
3. Traffic counts have value only In
giving information upon traffic
changes, and operation costs over
varying pavement surfaces.
4. What has been is no indication
Of what will be.
5. States must adopt uniform loads
to he borne by roads Of varying classes
of Importance.
6. All highways cannot be made 15-
ton highways every day in the year.
Z. Expressed in terms of real serv.
Ice value. tyne means little unless SO.
