NIGHT TRAVEL WEARS ROADS
More Destructive to Highways Than
In Daylight, According to Re-
cent Experiments.

The experiments being conducted on
the Bates experimental road, show
that night travel is more wearing on
highways than is day travel, accord
ing TO Clifford Older chief highway
engineer.
The road expands In the day, ac-
cording to Mr.. Older, and the center
becomes convex. The heat is absent
at night, and the road assumes con.
cave shape, the edges curling up and
forming slight hollow in the cen
ters. From these discoveries II is de-
duced that heavily loaded vehicles
travelling along on the edge of a road
way have a tendency to cause 1t to
crumble.
The testing Of the Bates road was
begun late in March and is still un-
der way. 1t was delayed for time
by the floods.

that large number Of the projects
will be completed this season.
Practically all the roads TO be built
