ALTOS CHANGED
CHARACTER OF
PUBLIC ROADS

When John Louden Macadam. in
1910, began to experiment with
broken stone for building roads, he
met with much opposition from the
..stand-pat' road builders, who con
tended that the expense would be
prohibitive and that anyway, broken
stone in courses of assorted sizes was
no better than broken stone Of one
size in one course.
Time proved the merit of Macad-
ans idea, although the country and
his first practical experiment was
nine years which have elasped since
tried at Bristol, England, in 1915
have greatly altered the practice OF
macadami7ed road building.
I'm to the advent of h auto
mobile, Macadam's principles were
employed in their entirety, h prok-
en- stone being bonded with rock
dust and water, the former replaced
by the impact of iron shod vehicles
and hoofs. the latter by the rain.
When the automobile. with lts
rand movement and broad rubber
tires. sucked the rock dust from be-
tween the stones in spite OF the gen
tie bonding effort of the wafer, IL
was realized h a something was
lacking in the ROADS useu ioi last
s~oft-shod traffic. which lack was not
felt under slow and steel-shod trat-
fc. That something was a better
pond than water. 1t was found IN
oils and tars and bituminous com
pounds. Luckily for the millions OF
dollars invested in macadamlzed
roads, an oil, tar, or bituminous
binder could and was, applied win
success to existing roads, thus saw
ing to the taxpayer miles OF high-
wayss which were otherwise doomed
Today, all macadamized roads are
built with the bituminous oil or tar
binder applied during the building

fundation and smaller upper course

crushed rock and dust, bound III

ed. Macadam's greatest monument
is the dropping of the capital letter
in his name and making it the label
for all roads built of crushed rock
