ROAD UPKEEP
COST CUT
Pavements are Cheapest, De-
spite Heavy Traffic; Oiling
Reduces Maintenance.

Paved trunk highways, carrying the
heaviest traffic, require the smallest
maintenance expenditure, according to
figures given out by c. M. Babcock,
commissioner of highways. Mainten-
ance of the slab in 1881 averaged $97.6l
per mile. This included crack filling,
lifting says with mud jack" and re-
placing broken spots in the older pave
mentS. Adding shoulder repair, snow
removal, moving, repair OF bitches and
culverts, signs and miscellaneous, the
total expense averaged $24s.36 per mile.
The paved routes carried an average OF
1900 vehicles per day.
Gravel roads, with less than one
third as much traffic, cost more to
maintain. The average cost of main
tanning 2,948 miles of untreated gravel
road was 1899 per mile, all items except
regraveling. The maintenance division
regrayeled 1901 miles at an average
cost of $3.50 per mile.
The more heavily travelled gravel
roads were bituninous treated. The
average cost per mile of 1889 miles of
new treatment or retreatment was
$1,069. There were POI miles of BIZ
luminous gravel on which retreatment
was not required. These showed an
average expense of $176 per mile for
maintenance of the roadway, and a
total of $28060 per mile with snow re-
moval, roadside maintenance and all
other items.
Total maintenance expenditures were
larger in 1881 than in 1880. Unusual
conditions due to the drouth necessi-
tated maintenance work on many
routes, and extensive construction made
1t necessary to maintain BOZ miles OF
detours. These two factors were re-
sponsible for an increase from S2,311,
1872 In 1890 to $2,34026 in 1881, in So
called routine maintenance, or work
done by section crews.
Snow removal decreased from 1911, ;
181 in 1890 to $139,376 in 1881. Re-
crawling, bituminous refreshments
dust layers bridge repairs, workmen's
compensation, signs and markers anc
traffic patrol brought the total main
tenance expenditures to $3,712,30 in
1881, compared to $510,324 in 1880
About two-thirds of the expenditures
for "betterments' was for new bitum-
nous treatments.
I'VE have undertaken an extensive
program of bituminous treatment OF
gravel roads which for medium heavy
traffic will give better service than un-
treated gravel" Mr.. Babcock said. "Ir
the long run this will be cheaper thar
maintaining gravel, but at the start il
win be more costly. This, together with
the many detours and the drouth, was
responsible for the increase in main
tenance expenditures"
