formation gathered by the Depart
ment's specialists:
Crau'l Howls Tlmt J,nst.
Well-constructed gravel roads will
sometimes sustain several years of
traffic without showing marked de
terioration, oven when thero has
boon no malnlonnnce. Such roads
sometimes oven Improve during tho
second season; more frequently,
however, thoy show ruts or tho for
mation of chuck holes. It can not be
oxpected that tho average llfo of n
gravel surface will bo greater than
that of a mncadam surface.
Tho average Interval for re
surfacing maendam roads Is between
six and soven years. If a sum equal
to two-thirds of the original cost of
tho gravol surface Itself Is provided
for ronownls nt slx-joar Intervals, It
should bo estimated at from JIC0 to
$250 por mile per .leitr. If $30 is
thon allowed for annua! dragging nnd
smnll ropalrs, tho total nnuiinl cost
of icpalr nnd malnlonnnce of gravel
roads would be from $1S0 to 3230
por mile.
Tho Hiinunl cost of mrlct mulnle
nanco Is fometlmwi bolow $30. In
ii1!?1"?11 Cot. Vermont, during
1912, 17C miles of gruvel roadi wero
nialntalnctl nt a cost of $20.70 per
mllo. The nnnunl cent of inalnto
nance and repair on wind-day roads,
including all nccotinry re-iurfacliiK
nt porlodlc Intervals, should not bo
fixed at less than 10 per cent of tho
original cost.
.Macadam Howls,
Tho cost of repair nnd nmlntonnuco
of water-bound macadam roads has
boon determined with considerable
exactness from Massachusetts figures
find checkod by re-surfacing chnrges
," ot,L" tntC3 nl In Gormnny.
ii) pau for necessary small renal
audi as patching, cleaning cuu'c ffi
etc. and from $100 to $125 per oar
Is tho necessary annual chargo for
ro-BurfacIng at periods varying6 from
six to seven years.
Tho sum of $525 per mile on an
nvernBe. should therefore Tb o?ute"y
ma n aln macadam roads If cCes
and Increases of traffic are not
ever "t'hn SW b "Jetood. how
oer, tnnt In mnny nstances whom
M"n' '"P8 of ordinary or water
bound macadam road havo been rn
surfaced Mill, bltumlnou mnTerteh
and many miles of now bltuminoui
macadam road have been conitrurted"
Tho logical nialntonnnco of such high:

A proud King dreamed In I1I3 glided

A Klntc inld "Vea!" It was but a

And a million men marched toward tho

A million wive gasped ni their hus

A million babe starved as their

A King- jouRht Bain In the north nnd

And a million men matched toward
