Italy and France Adopt Motor Road Idea
AS Relief for Congestion in Big Cities

ungs and a mighty span bridge at
Neuilly, so that other traffic may not
interfere.
OF course, the expense will be great.
The Italians have shown the way,
although the French made it possible
by purchasing the land before the
war. The Milan-to-the-Lakes road is
the private property of a company
which charges each auto ~ cents per
mile. For its 25 miles and 1000 autos
per day it makes 1915 daily earnings.
These, with profits from building lots,
which are not as great along the
Italian road as they will be along
Paris-St. German, have balanced the
budget.
The building Of these exclusive auto
streets has increased and put into the
limelight all the difficulties in making
durable roadbeds for swift and heavy
traffic.
All sorts of new compounds are be.
ing tried. With horse locomotion, a
road outside Paris was supposed to
stand from five to seven years with
out much need Of repairs. Only the
roads from the outskirts to the CEN
trail markets had ruts and holes in
them then. 1t was the same for all
France, where roadbeds were as
smooth as the landscape was beauti.
full. How the first automobiles en-.
joyed French roads!
The wear and tear began. A road
bed did well to last two years with
out serious repairs. When the giant
trucks came, no macadam could re.
sist six months, sometimes not six
weeks! 1t was only then, after the
war, that travellers began speaking
with less respect of French roads.
This year France is trying heroic
measures. Last year Paris spent the
limit for these hard times-over a mil
lion dollars-just for the central por.
tion of Paris. 1t Was considered suf-
ficient to double the thickness Of the
macadam beneath the gypsum sur
face, but it cid not prevent ruts and
holes reappearing.
To hastily fill up such holes without
remakin8 the road at the same time,
they have a machine and a process.
OF course, it is only temporary and
forms no part Of last years million
dollarss work in central Paris.

did what he had known all the
time he would do-he swung over
the grassy wall, gripped his stick
and, with Flip at his heels, picked
his way across the moor toward the

listened. There was no sound to be
heard. Then he raised his voice.
"Hullo. there!'
There was no reply for a moment.
He kicked against the side Of the
rock. Suddenly a. voice issued from
the darkness-a voice which came to
him as a shock.
"Hullo yourself! What do you

"a word with you."
There was the sound now Of light
footsteps. Goade drew back, puzzled.

both the cadence and the quality Of
a voice belonging to a man Of edu-

pared for trouble. Then the heather
bushes were parted and Goade, accus-
toned to surprises, gasped.
A slim, clean-shaved, well built
young man in ancient but excellently
cut tweeds calmly presented himself.
He was unarmed, and his single
monocle looked as though 1t had never
left his eye.
"Hullo, Goadew he exclaimed. What

This year new methods permit Paris
to spend only little more than half
the expense of last year. Some Of the
new methods came from the United
States, others from Italy, Belgium or
Germany.
For stone.block roadbeds, the blocks

dunn, 100000. For wood-block road.
beds wonderfully smooth and elastic),
100000. It is this, particularly that
tourists have noticed in the Champs.
Elysees. For smooth-surface expert
ments, like porphyry-asphalt, about
$500, 900.
Such smooth roadbeds must never
theless be solid and resisting beyond
anything previously known. They
must hold against all traffic and frost
and must not let the speeding motor
car skid.
The most interesting seems to be
what they call here ''black concrete, -
as distinguished from the gray con-
crete" already in use. 1t is also called
melted concrete" and Is applied
from furnace motor trucks, melting
great black blocks, on the roadbed
itself.
The great black stone.like blocks
are about 10 inches square by 4 inches
thick. They consist Of flint already
mashed or ground up and run into
the melted bituminous mass. and they
are brought to the spot Of the road
where they are to be used.
But they are not put down in any.
thing like block surface. At that spot
OF the road, the tractors have lined
up the great furnace trucks, which
remelt the blocks then and there. So
they flow into the roadbed, where
their molasses-like mass is spread
and smoothed while yet semi-liquid,
as is done with all smooth surfaces.
Smooth surface" is a manner of
speaking. 1t is polished and shines,
but it is grooved deep diagonally
against skidding. These grooves re-
main hard edged. which shows the ex-
treme resistance of the material. In
a word, as the mass of this flint
asphalt Is hardened from pulverized
granite, It Is hoped that the heaviest
traffic will not wear 1t skiddable 1t

main is that it viii furnish Paris with
habitations in reach of business.
Since the war Greater Paris has re-
ceived a million new inhabitants, and
there is no proper room for them all.
Paris is congested: can scarcely
breathe, and no building boom within
can do much.
At Milan the auto street goes
straight across country which is
sparsely settled, without much to in
terest traffic until you reach the rich
mans goal. at the romantic Italian
lakes. Between Paris and st. Ger
main there is already an unbroken
line of little suburbs or city outskirts
to profit by quick auto locomotion.
The electric tram which now follows
the turning main road has more than
80 stops, and takes you an hour and
a half to go through.
The auto street will speed you
through in 20 minutes. Time is
money-but pleasure also.
But the expense of building the
auto street might be prohibitive.. The
French state has no money to con-
tribute, and the city of Paris little
enough. Happidly, the shorter part,
which Is inside the limits of greater
Paris, has already a beginning in the
long. straight, three-drive avenues
already used for traffic.
For example, beginning at Ma
poleon's Triumphal Arch, as far as
the River Seine, at the end of the
residential suburb of Neuilly, the
present avenue has two side drive
ways. each wide enough for three
motor cars to meet and pass, while
the central part, only separated by
double rows of trees, easily gives
room for six abreast. Beyond the
Seine, through villages for miles
more, the road is already wide enough
for six autos abreast.
The remaining miles were already
planned and approved as "of public
utility" and most of the land bought,
before the war. The surveys were
made and cuttings begun 1t was to
be a geometrically straight highway.
with electric tramway In the middle.
1t Is this plan which they will now
change into their exclusive auto
street. #

"Shes all right" Goade assented
tonelessly. "She's gone off home with
the young man."
"And, by Jove." Erriscombe re.
flected, won't the countryside be
prowling round here in a day or two
to see the wild man."
"All right" Goade acquiesced. "I'n
have a look at your quarters" he
added, peering through the heather
bush.
The young man indulged in a slight
grimace.
I'D rather you don't" he confessed.
I'm by way of being a little fastidi-
Gus, and it's more than ordinarily
stuffy and untidy down there. I've
slept out of doors the last two nights"
Goade nodded thoughtfully. Sud
denly Flip darted past him through
the opening and disappeared in the
gloom. A moment later he heard her
sharp bark from down below.

BY STERLING HEILIG.

" HE American members of the
Fifth International Road Con-
gress, Just closed at Milan,
were given a triumphal show
of a highway exclusively for
automobiles leading straight across
country from the great city to the
Italian lakes, where the worlds tour
lists gather.
It's engineers say Of this latest pride
Of Italy:
Here is the final form of high
speed traffic
The Italian "Autostrada" grand
Auto streets 25 miles long and it
has had 1000 autos passing every day
for two years.
Now the same engineers propose to
repeat it for PariS-from Paris to St.
Germain and it's forest, Is miles as
the crow flies. The distance by the
winding River Seine is nearly 40
miles; but the new auto road, inexo-
rably straight, will cut across the
river. three times.
The prime difficulties are expense
and roadbed able to resist continuous
heavy auto traffic.
Here las in every great city, the
expense has to be shared between city
taxpayers and those of Seine-and- -Oise,
in which department Tor county, more
than three-quarters of the road will
pass. 1t was already completely
planned for all sorts of vehicles be-
fore the war, but now the automobile
demands everything. All the land al
ready had been bought, so that build
ing lots, all the way, can give great
profits.
AS to roadbed resistance, Paris and
all France have to do something right
away. The old roads in their day
were the best in the world. but now
the thickest and most solid macadam
cracks and breaks into holes and ruts.
This is why Summer tourists have
found the greatest Paris avenues SO
confusedly cut up-workmen seeming
to be laying queer roadbed in long
sections.
The new roadbed sections look
queer because much is experimental.
The effort is, above all. for durability.

Goade rose to his feet and looked at

He suddenly gripped him by the

''All right" he added, as he released

WORK ON
PONTIAC PLANT

PONTIAC, Mich, Sept. IA
bulletin from the Oakland Motor
Car Company states that work on
the new $1,000, 900 Pontiac six-story
factory is slightly ahead of schedule
and that according to all indica-
tions production capacity Of 1000
cars daily will be available at the
beginning Of next year.
More than one-half Of the entire
foundation for the 80 acres of floor
space that will comprise this nam
moth new plant has already been
laid and by the end Of the month
the entire foundation will be in.
Excavation has been practically
completed.
The scene Of the construction re-
sembles the building Of one Of the
mammoth, far-flung cantonments
that came to be such a common
sight during the late war. The
foundation for the assembly plant
alone extends a quarter Of a mile
into the distance-built upon
nine-acres-of- -floor.space basement.
While 200 men are now engaged
in the construction Of this new
factory, this force will be recruited
up to 1000 men before the end of
October. Every type of dirt remov-
ing machine known in construction
Is being employed. A 78-inch storm
drain, large enough for the needs
Of a small city, is being installed
to take care of the rain that will
fall upon more than 1000, 900 square
feet Of roof, and for other needs of
the factory. Already two car tracks
have been built into the factory to
help in construction, but when the
factory has been completed there
will be nine miles of trackage under
roof to bring in raw material and
carry out the finished product.
That there is need for this new
factory may be CLEANED from the
fact that more than $4,000 Pontiac
and Oakland Skies were built dur.
ing August and that during this
month the 100,000th car was turned
out for 1925.
To build this number OF cars has
required the largest working force
in Oakland's history. In fact, the
present force is more than twice as
large as ever previously employed.
The total at the present time is
more than $500. Early in Febru
ary the force was slightly more
than $500, but practically 500 men
were put on each month since until
at the present time peak facilities
Of the present factories have been
reached. The biggest jump in en-
ployment was from May to August,
though since that time approx
mately 100 persons have been added
| each week.
