BAY STATE ROADS.
Somo FncCa About the Hlewhra o(
Slnasnclianctta.
It cost3 on an average $9,000 per
mile to build a state road Iu Massa
chusetts, says the Dostou Globe, but
tho actual cost depends on locality and
conditions, hardly two cases being
alike. One-fourth of tho cost of u
state road l Loruo by tho county In
which It is situated, the balance bclug
contributed by the state.
The woil; of (lie highway commission
has developed 11 number of high class
professional roadbullders. Mauy of
the youuger and moro ambitious have
entered flic employ of the nutlounl gov
ernment in Cuba, Porto Ulco and the'
Philippines In the same lino of work.
Most ot the state roads aro of broken '
stone, but a few are of gravel. The
type ot road built Is determined by the
engineer, wno ma tea cqreiui examina
tion ot soils, drainage, gravel, stone,
grades and tratUc.
The thickness ot stone on stato roads
varies from four to sixteen inches, tho
lesser being placed over good gravel or
sand, tho greater over heavy clay. Tho
broken stono used on state roads passes
through half Inch, Inch nud a hnlf'and
two nud a hnlf inch screens. The lar
gest bIzc Is placed on the bottom, tho
second size 011 top of this and tho
crown is made with half inch material.
All nro rolled separately nnd thor
oughly. Tho cost of trap rock for rondbdlld
ing varies from $1.10 per ton to 1.G0
per ton. Tho statu owns seventeen
steam rollers, which are employed in
stato roadbulldlng. The' standard
width of stone rondwayB hi Massachu
setts built by the commission is fifteen
feet. Thoro arc somo only ton and
twelvo feet wide, but thoy nro not
deemed economical to maintain.
When a state rond Is constructed, It
remains under the control of tho stato
highway commission. Tho local au
thorities nro taxed an amount not to
exceed $50 per mile for mnlutcnauce.
