of a federal city in Camberra and is
DESTROYS of ascertaining the exper-
fences of other countries.

When Washington was made the
Capital of the United States the land
not retained by the Government for
public buildings and parks was sold
and became private property. II WAS
explained to Mr.. Garges that Australia
is considering retaining title to all OF
the land embraced in the federal juris

uais the portions not required by the
government.
Mr.. Sulman inquired in detail as 10
the merits Of the commission form of
government. and. before returning
home he may attend the conference OF
city managers at Montreal. Canada, to
learn something of that form of
municipal control.
Mai Wheeler said the distinguish
visitor was much impressed by II,
beauty and attractiveness of Amer
ica's Capital City. He was especially
attracted by the method of handling
traffic at Scott Circle. where North
and South bound vehicles are sepa-
rated from East and West traffc by
semi-circular islands of safety. He
asked Maj. Wheeler to send him
drawings Of the scheme.

When John Louden Macadam. in
lolO, 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 pro-
hlbltive and that anyway broken stone
IN courses of assorted sizes was NO
better than broken stone of one size
i'll one course.
Time proved the merit of Macad-
ANS idea, although the century and
nine years which have elapsed since
his first practical experiment was tried
at Bristol, England, in 1915, have
greatly altered the practice of macad-
amized road building.
Up to the advent of the automobile,
Macadam's principles were employed
in their entirety, the broken stone be-
ing bonded with rock dust and water,
the former replaced by the impact OF
iron shod vehicles and hoofs, the latt-
er by the rain.
When the automobile with is rapid
movement and broad rubber tires,
sucked the rock dust from bteween
the stones in spite of the gentle bond
ing effort of the water, it was realized
that something was lacking in the
roads used for fast, soft-shod traff c,
which lack was not felt under slow
and steel-shod traffic. That "some-
thing" was a better bond than water
1t was found in oils and tars and
bituminous compounds. Luckily for
the millions of dollars invested il
macadamized roads, an oil, tar, or BIZ
luminous binder could, and was, ap-
piled with success to existing roads
thus saving to the taxpayer miles O.
highways which were otherwise
doomed.
To-day, all macadamized roads arr
built with the btum nous oil or t2,
binder applied during the building
but the basic principles of larger four
dation and smaller upper course
topped by a wearing surface of fine
crushed rock and dust, bound in place
+ vsomcthne is still employed. Ma
cadam's greatest monument is th'
dropping OF the capital letter in hi
name and tn mixing il the label for al
roads built of crushed rock laid i
