COTTON HIGHWAYS

Thousands of Yards of
LACE Curtains" Being
Laid by Commission

~ ~ MA CEX IND VIII
nv

Raleigh, Oct 22-Thousands of
yards of "lace curtains" are being laid
on the Rhamkatte road, just south of
here, and then being covered with hot
tar. The "lace curtains" are the thou
sands of yards Of cotton fabric being
used by the State Highway and Pub
lie Works Commission in the con-
struction of the so-called cotton
roads" and in which this fabric,
which looks more like fish nets or
is used as binder between the sand
clay base of the road and the btu
minous surface.
The highway department has been
busy all this week putting down this
cotton fabric on the "a miles Of the
Rhamkatte road, which was formerly
the old road to Fayetteville. Within
the next week or two it will start put
ting down the fabric on 1.6 miles of
another lateral road that intersects
the Rhamkatte road and connects
with Route 15A, the paved highway
from Raleigh to Fayetteville. Both
of these stretches are to be expert
mental on which the effectiveness of
the cotton fabric, in different weights,
will be compared with stretches on
which none is used, according to w.
Vance Baise, chief highway engineer
of the highway commission.
On the present project, Grade A
fabric, weighing So ounces per square
yard will be used, on six-tenths of
mile, Grade b weighing 4.25 ounces
per square yard will be used on an
other six-tenths of a mile, Grade G,
weighing 3.3 ounces per square yard
will be used on another six-tenths of
a mile, while no fabric will be used
on another sector of six-tenths of a
mile Baise said. These sectors will
be carefully marked off and the man
ner in which the different sectors
stand on will be regularly studied and
recorded. This same procedure will
be followed on the second stretch of
road, with the exception that each
sector will be four-tenths of mile in
stead of six-tenths.
