Concrete Roads.
These states had found that no re-

were necessary on their concrete roads,
under the hardest usage while

nothing but concrete on its state

at as low cost we build ours.
Oregon made its first trial of Con

miles of it in that year. And it liked
the sample. In 1920 it built almost
halfas much again In 1921 there
still another increase.
Maricopa County is fortunate in not
having to experiment in building its
