GRADES 0?i HIGHWAYS.
Threa or Fcur Par Cent Slope Advis
able For Heavy Traflic.
A 1 per cent prade ou a ro.id means
i rise of on foot for each hundred
feet of distau-e traveled up the' hill.
A 10 per cent pro do means ten foe!
rise in each hundri'd fit't so traveled.
A 1 per cent H'ade. then, means that
iu traveling uphill one mile an ascent
is made of ,.iS f.t't. while a 10 per
rent crade means a rise In altitude
of o-S feet In a mile. Accurate tests
have shown that a horse which can
pull l.'.nW piunds on a level road can
pull only i0 pounds ou a rise of one
foot in fifty, and on a rise of one
foot in ten lie can pull only '2'.;) pounds.
These facts show that the greatest
load that can bj hauled over a road
is the held which can be taken up
the ulit'iKst hill on that road or
tiit'ouh the d.vpest mudho'e. It Is
therefore advised that ail highways
traveled by heavily loade.l vehicles
shoiil i be kept within a o or 4 per
cc.it jrrade if practicable. To do this
may require a change of location to
pet around hiils. always keepins In
mind that the lower the crude the
larger the load may be hauled and
the cost of bauiaiw kept at the lowest
poiut.
Good roads are the earmarks
of civilization, the emblem of In
telligence, education nnd refine
ment, w hereas bad roads arc the
s';;n of backwardness. Indolence
and indifferent citizenship.
