WIDER HIGHWAYS ADVOCATED
Experts Urge Importance of Adopting
20 Feet as Standard Width Of
Improved Roads.

Experts have been urging upon the
American good roads congress the i'm
portance of adopting 20 feet as the
standard width of paved roadways.
They hold that in the end the wider
road will cost no more than the mar
row track. Some Of them even say that
a width in excess of 20 feet may prove
economical in the end because a wider
road secures more even distribution
Of the traffic, there is less rutting, and
smaller danger exists of damaging the
shoulders of the road by running Off
the pavement An ultimate width Of
80 feet is urged in approaches to
large centers where the traffic is ex-
ceedingly heavy. A variation in the
width Of the highway to accommodate
different denslties of travel will be
worked out in time. The claim that 20
feet should be the minimum whenever
the traffic reaches 1000 vehicles a day
is one Of the interesting developments
Of modern road building.

a great variation in the conditions
under which grading for highways is
done in different sections of the United
States is reflected in cost data COM
piled by the bureau of public roads,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, on 1850 miles of federal-aid
road. The figures cover the four-year
period 19l7-1921 and are based on
total Of 24l5 million yards of earth.
For the groups Of states the average
price per cubic yard is as follows:
New England and Middle Atlantic
states, S1.33; East North Central,
SO.6S; West North Central, SO.49;
South Atlantic, S0.61; East South Cen
trail, S041; West South Central. SO.35:
Mountain, S0.52; and Pacific states,
SO.61. The general average price was
S0.56.
Probably the most important factor
affecting the cost was the amount Of
grading TO be done per mile, the guam
tity being very small in the groups hav-
Ing the highest prices. In general it
is noticed that where mostly old roads
are rebuilt. the light work and tearing
up the old pavement greatly affected
the cost. The amount of fine grading
or trimming required for the higher
types Of pavement was also a factor

graded, climatic conditions, time limit

traffic also affected the cost.
While each group of states did not
have the same volume of grading each
year, and therefore the average figure
for the whole country is not truly rep
resentative, it is interesting to note
that the average cost of grading grad
ually rose from $O.49 In the first quar-
ter Of 1917 to $0.67 In the fourth quar-
ter OF 1919, and then gradually de-
clined to S0.34 in the third quarter of

Set Blaze to See
New Fire Engines Go

Nyaclz, N. Y, Nov. 12-Boredom and
desire to see their new motor fire
engines in action drove three youthful
members of Nyack's volunteer fire de-
partment to arson. one of the trio told
the police today. The three-Fred Me-
tinsky, 21 Edgar Wannamaker, is: and
Frank Kirk. 19-are held in Jail with
out bail awaiting trial for arson.
The volunteer f1remen were unusual
ly busy the past month. and when
someone told the police that incendia-
ries planned to fire factory last night,
detectives found Metinsky nearby.
His confession implicated his friends,
the police said.
