SOIL MOISTURE
AFFECTES ROADS
Bearing Power Of Highways Influ.
enced by Damp Conditions;
Samples Undergo Analysis.

Moisture in the soil beneath hard
roads has much to do-with the life
of the road. according to the State
Highway division. Samples of the
soil taken from the subgrade of the
Bates experimental road, south
west of Springfield, showed a wat
er content Of 40 percent last spring.
The bearing power of the soil in
this condition was of a very uncer-
tain nature, says the department.
A load of six pounds to the square
inch was sufficient to deform the
soil two-tenths of an inch. Expert
ments are being conducted to de-
termine the effects of this moisture
on the pavement.
