found 1t necessary to construct pave ment that will not only withstand the disintegrating effect of fast-spinning wheels but the crushing effect of the s, 10 and 12-ton loads now carried by your auto trucks. To withstand these actions, the pavement must pre- sent tough surface and be structural ly strong within itself Concrete pave ment is acknowledged to the best an- swer to these requirements.
 High Type Roads Demanded
 With the rapid change in the traffic to be carried by our highways and streets has come the insistent demand on the part of automobile and truck owners throughout the country for a greater mileage of high type roads. Where previously the daily travel of a team and wagon would probably be six or seven miles, 50 miles is now c6nsid- cred the average for our automobiles and trucks. In order to make this operation possible, our city and high way engineers have been called upon to perform the greatest road building feat in the history of the world.
 Reports from the United States bu- reau of public roads show that until July 1, 1924. 51 ,09S miles of highway have been constructed in the United States under federal aid plan. It is significant to note the large mileage of concrete as compared to other types laid by the federal government, as in- dicated by the following tabulation:

TROY DECIDES
 FOR CONCRETE City Lays Total Of 79 Blocks During This :.
 Year

TROY, Ala, Nov. 2G.-(Special.) - Troy has joined the many other Ala bama cities which have of late been giving concrete preference in paving projects. A total of 80 city blocks of concrete have been laid to date in Troy. Of that amount @, city blocks were lad in 1924.
 Back in 1911 Troy laid about ten miles of concrete sidewalks. These walks today are in practically as good condition as when first put down. Last summer when an extensive street paw ing project was undertaken, concrete was the choice of the citizens. Property owners who formerly opposed paving of streets with concrete, today are much pleased in fact, so general is the satls- faction among citizens over the good results obtained through use of concrete they again insisted on that style Of paving. A factor in converting the peo- ple to concrete was the present good condition of some concrete streets lad several years ago in Troy.
 When the present paving program IS completed Troy will have had practic- ally every sidewalk and every street in the city paved. This improvement will not only make the city even more beautiful in appearance, but a more healthy place in which to live.
 Contractors on the present concrete paving program at Troy is the Couch Construction company. M. D. Pace and J. NJ. Boyd are the engineers.

the November election. A total of $140,O00,O0O in bonds was voted in November for road and street con- struction. The outstanding community indicated above. is the state of Illinois, voted $100,O00,000 to carry on her highway construction program. The question will undoubtedly be asked by hundreds interested in the good road and street movement how Illinois can afford to spend S100,000,000 on concrete highways, when she is just completing the expenditure of $G0,000,- 900 on these high type roads. The answer is-Illinois could not afford not to pass the bond issue and put S1OO,- 100000 additional into her concrete highways The farmers and towns men of Illinois in travelling over their present 5000 mile concrete road sys- tenn have discovered the real economy of concrete roads and did not hesitate to indorse the tremendous sum neceS- sary to carry this work forward.
 Big Saving To Motor Car Owners
 "A person not familiar with high way research of recent years, can only see the first cost and maintenance cost of a paved road. not stopping to con slider the tremendous saving to automO- bile and truck operators in gasoline, oil and depreciation. when tlRir ma chimes are driven over concrete streets and roads. In order to determine ac- curately this saving, the low, State College at Ames, Iowa, cooperating with the Iowa state highway department conducted an elaborate series O tests last year. They operated trucks over level stretches of various tyIes of roads and learned that one E; Hon Of gasoline would send one ton fourteen miles on level dirt road; twenty one miles on level gravel road and thirty one miles on level concrete road.
 Tests made by the White Company of Cleveland, Ohio, manufacturers of motor trucks, in whcih twO-ton trucks were used, loaded to capacity and ope- rated over various types of roads showed that one gallon of gasoline would send the twO-tOn trucks 0.1S miles on dirt road; 7.19 miles on Il fair gravel road and 11.7S miles on a concrete roal Reducing this loading to d onc-ton basis, we find the results check very closely with the test con ducted in Iowa.

 FOR CONCRETE
Chiffon County Highway Project Will Be Ideal
 Roadway

J. R. and J. B. Miller, contractors of Baconton, Georgia, were recently awarded the contract for seventeen and | one-half miles of concrete paving on Federal Aid Project No. 100 in Chiffon county. .,E These contractors realizing the im- portance of rapid progress and work n.anship on this thoroughfare between Birmingham and Montgomery have equipped themselves with the latest road building machinery. Practically every piece of this new equipment was purchased from Yancey Bros. Machin- cry company of Atlanta, of which Judge Al Driver of Montgomery is the repre- sentative. Barber Greene conveyors and ioaders are used to load the Ford trucks which haul the aggregate from the stock piles to the mixer. An enormous Rex payer is used to mix the concrete the final finish and wearing surface. The excellent results being obtained with the materials, and equipment used is best shown by the daily tests con- ducted on the concrete by the Southern Testing Laboratory of Birmingham. Their tests show, that an exceedingly strong concrete IS, being obtained with less cement than the state had origin- ally intended to use.
 The sand and crushed slag for this project is being furnished by the Bir- mingham Slag company of Birmingham, Alabama.
 The progress of this project is caus- ing much favorable comment among construction men of the state. At the present rate of speed the seventeen and one-half miles included in this contract highway, beginning at the Shelby county line, have been opened to traf- fife, and presons using this short stretch have been much impressed with its ex- cellent riding qualities. A joy is in store for motorists of Birmingham and Montgomery when they strike the white ribbon" of concrete. winding it's way through Chiffon county on their trips between the two cities.

IA FAYETTE FATORS
 CONCRETE STREETS

Any one doubtful as to the advant- ages of street paving to a city would have obtained an ample object lesson had he seen the court house square at lafayette before and after paving. Where last year existed on the streets about the court house mud holes in wet weather, chuck holes. dust and irregular contour in dry weather is now Il modern, smooth, clean con. crete street. Citizens of Lafayette de- manded this spring that their city take on new life and do some paving, asking the city council to take bids on various types of surfacing.
 Contract was awarded this summer to the Whitley Construction company of LaGrange, Georgia for the the con struction of about twenty-eight blocks of paving. These contractors are old and experienced in the construction of con- crete streets and roads and executed quick, first class job of paving this summer at Lafayette.
 Citizens of Lafayette are so well pleased with their new paving. sI- ready there is talk of additional streets being paved next year.

Old Surfaces Inadeauate

From the above one can readily see how concrete has come into her own in Alabama during 1924. While the building of the new cement mills in Alabama is largely responsible for the new stimulus given concrete pavement construction, it should not have all the credit. With the large increase each year of the automobile and truck traffic in the state, those interested in the construction of street and highway paw ing have begun to realize that the sur- face suitable for the traffic a decade ago is entirely inadequate for the pres ent-day situation. Some ten years ago when the automobile and truck were in the minority, and the horse-drawn traffic principally used on our high ways and streets, there was little need for the present-day concrete pavements.
 "On city streets where paving was necessary, the engineer was more in terested in laying Il type to withstand the abrasion caused by the steel shoes of the horses and steel tires of the buggies and wagons. The loads of those days with probably maximum of three tons did not cause him much trouble. With the rapid increase, in recent years, of the fast-moving motor driven automobile and truck, he has

CONCRETE PAVING
 INCREASE IS RAPID
New Pavement Originated In BelIefOntaine, Ohio, In 1892

Concrete streets are a development of the last few years. While the total area of these streets is small compared with some of the older types, the in- crease in yardage has been 10000 per cent in IA years.
 The first six months of 1923 saw 22.OOO, GOO square yards of concrete street pavement either built or under contract. Since streets vary in width this figure can better be visualized by saying it would make 2,20O miles of standard 1S-foot roads. There is at present more than 10,5O0 miles of concrete streets in the various cities based on the same method of calcula- tion.
 The origin of the concrete pavement is in Bellefontaine, Ohio. In 1892 this city constructed strip of pavement ten feet wide and 222 feet long on it's main street. Although the construc- tion methods used at that time were not nearly as good as those govern ing the laying of pavement at the present time this original venture in street pavement is still in service.
 The advantages of this type of pave ment are that it gives the taxpayer long-wearing streets at the same price that he might otherwise pay for pave ments that were not durable. Con crete is of the rigid type and originally was used in paving street car tracks. However, observers found that traffic seemed to gravitate toward the con crete, particularly on rainy days when other types were slippery. Several other cities tried them out and found them satisfactory.
 Specifications were opened to con- crete in a number of metropolitan dis tricts in 1923 and large yardage built in a number of other cities whose specifications already included con- crete. Among these cities can be named Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo, Chi cago, Milwaukee, New York City, Phil adelphia, Seattle, Washington, D. c. Los Angeles built or placed under con tract upwards of POO miles of city pave ment figuring the yardage as concrete roads are figured.

stantiate his judgment, Mir. Older su- pervised for the state of Illinois during 1923 and 1924 the construction of ap- proximately 2,5O0 miles of concrete roads. Not only Illinois but practical ly every state in the Union, including our own state of Alabama, who has placed more than fifty miles of con crete road under contract this year have profited by the lessons learned from Mir. Older's experimental road.
 Another elaborate test. similar to the Illinois experiment, has been completed by the state of California. California having decided long ago that concrete was the most suitable paving for her highways, conducted an experiment dur ing 1921 and 1922 at Pittsburg, Cali fornia, to determine the design for con crete surfacing. California built an ex- perimental road. incorporating thirteen different types of concrete paving. The experiment itself was conducted much as the Illinois test described above and with practically the same results The six inch concrete pavement with nine inch edges, identical with the type now being laid in Alabama. re. ceived the highest rating in the Pitts burg test.
 Uncle Sam" FaVOrs Concrete
 More recently the L. $. Bureau of Public Roads have conducted expert ments at Arlington, Virginia, and their results would indicate concrete to be the standard pavement best adapted to carry our 1924 vast fleet of 15,000,0O0 automobiles and trucks. A report of the results obtained at Arlington is contained in the April and May, 1924 issues of Public Roads, published by the U. $. Bureau of Public Roads.
 An indication of the manner in which highway commissioners and cn- gineers are responding to the demand of automobile and truck owners for more and better highways is shown by the bond issues voted by various communities throughout the country at

Alabama County To Put

 On October 13. the highway commis S;oners awarded to the Houston Con strnction company of iIouston.. Texas tbc contract for twcnty-three miles ol grading, drainage and pavement con struction on the north and south hlsn. way through Calhoun county.
 The highway starts from the Iaiia' deea county line where it connects with the road to Talladega and extends north through Oxford, Anniston, Camp MIG Clellan, Jacksonville and Piedmont.
 Already several miles of this road have been graded. and MT. David war field of the Houston Construction com pany spent the past week III Annlsooh' making preliminary arrangements TOT the laying Of concrete pavement MT Warfield states he will work from two points: one located at Oxford to lay the pavement from the Talladega county me to Anniston and another locatca Ill Jacksonville for the section from Camp Mcclellan to Piedmont.
 Company With A Record
 The Houston Construction company has established quite record for first class construction, promptly executed, and point with pride to long stretches of highway recently completed near Little Rock, Ark, Shreveport, La., and Houston, Texas. Those familiar with this company's work predict they will establish a record in Alabama for speedy construction. Mir. Warfield says: santa Claus can visit Piedmont, Jacksonville. Camp Mcclellan, Anniston and Oxford in 1925 over one of Alabama's best con crete highways"
 At the same time the highway com mission received bids on this project there was some possibility of type ot road other than concrete being laid Citizens of the county feeling that the best highway obtainable was none too good for the cities it would serve, at a mass meeting in Anniston indorsed a resolution asking the state highway com mission to give them concrete road When found necessary the county board of commissioners of Calhoun county agreed to pay half the difference in cost between the cheaper construction and the first-class concrete highway they finally obtained.
