Origin of Macadam,
Jjarper's.
It has been said that the best roads
built since the days of the Romans are
those known as macadamized roads.
Macadam was a Scotchman who spent
several years In America. On his re
turn to his native land, toward the
close of the 18th century, he devoted
hi attention' to road building. His
leading principle was that a road ought
to be considered as an artificial floor
ing so strong and even as to let the
heaviest vehicle pass over it without
Impediment. v
People began to hear with wonder of
roads 30 and 40 feet wide rising only
three inches in the center, and be pro
pounded the extraordinary heresy that
a better and more lasting road could
be made over the surface of a morass
than over solid rock.
Another of his principles was that
the soil Is more resistant when dry
than when wet.- In order to keep it
in a condition of the greatest resist- .
ance that is to say, dry he advocated
the putting over it of a covering im
pervious to rain the road. In fact.
The thickness of this covering was to
be regarded in relation to Its imper
vlousness, and not. at all as to its bear
ing of weight.
