' "One of the greatest dlltlcultles with
i ; 1 great mnny people In mending roads,
, In my Judgment, Is that they endeavor
" to patch up the rond lusteud of plow
ing It up and letting the whole iiiiibs
settle at once. Some people hnve an
Idea that traftlc will mnke a road level.
, Traffic will mash down some lumps
and some of tho course gravel, but If
the material is uot eveuly spread or
the road not properly graded when It
la constructed It will grow worse that
Is, more uneven as time goes ou. It Is
. time well spent In the grading of a
new road to go over It Innumerable
' times with a rond machine in order
thnt the grade may bo made perfect in
tho beginning, and 1 know of a great
many roads In Nnssau nnd Suffolk
counties, New York, now which, If they
i could be plowed up nnd hnve a llttlo
': snnd put In some places and a little
lonm In others, then bo thoroughly
i. graded wllh a rond machine nnd hnve
a little gravel added during the wluler,
4 would be good nil tho year round for
v wngons or automobiles, nnd if they

ins dust proof as a macadam rond."

posed between West Hnrtlepool and
Jllddlesbnuigh, near Newcastle, In the
county of Northuniliorlnnd. a direct
lino of, seven and .three-fourth miles.
ID designing the roadway the engineer
In Iirgc bus given attention to, the
possible development In both heavy,
slow nnd fnst vehicular and motor traf
fic, each of which demands separate
consideration and possibly different
methods, of rond surfnee treatment
The plan accordingly provides- for a
center footpath nine feet lu width, on
tho east side of tho footpath a rond for
motor and light, fust tmlllc twenty
four feet In width nnd on the west side
of the footpath a roud for heavy, slow
trntllu twenty-two feet in width. This
gives a width for highway purposes of
fifty-five feet. The plan further shows
ou the westernmost sldo of the foot
path a width of fourteen feet reserved
for light railway or trolley purposes,
making n total width or hind to be ac
quired of slx,ty-nluc feet.
A scheme similar lo this will doubt
less control future roiulniaklng In Eng
land, and existing rouds may be re
constructed on a corresponding plan
One of the chief advantages In sepa
rating the several kinds of trnlHc would
be In permitting different methods of
surfacing the roads to be used and
those brat adapted to the trnillc ac
commodated. Another advantage would
be the lessening of the chances of ac
cidents. A third advantage would be
the greater speed permissible to fast
raveling. Consul Walter C, Hnmm,
