America Will Be Strongly Represen
ted At The Roads Congress.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 27.-
Whcn the "Ivernia " Royal Mail Ship
of the Cunard Line, sailed on the el
eventh, it carried among other pas
sengers, Logan Waller Page, Director
of the Office of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, who, being especially commis
sioned by President Roosevelt, is on
his way to France to tell the highway
engineers of the world just exactly
what, in. his opinion, the automobile
is doing to the macadam thorough
fares of civilization, and what should
be done to counteract its destructive
effects.
President Roosevelt summoned Di
rector Page to the White House and
conferred with him about this latest
and most startling highway problem.
He learned that an almost incalcul
able amount of damage is being done
daily, and then he informed the Di
rector that it was his wish that the
United States be strongly represen
ted at the coming International Road
Congress in Paris, and he asked for
the names of two other experts to
contribute information at that treat
gathering. Mr Page named Colonel
Charles S. Browncll, Superintendent
of Buildings and Grounds of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and Mr. Clifford
Richardson, nationally famous as an
authority on bituminous road mater
ial. They were appointed, and Mr.
Page was named as chairman of the
delegation.
Although this congress will not as
semble at Paris until Oct. 11, Director
Tag! decided to sail tiiree days since
it, being understood that he would
personally inspect some of the roads
of England, Germany, and France be
fore 'the 'distinguished assemblage isj
called to order. He wished to view
at close range the retrogression of
those famous highways; and to see
if the speeding automobiles worked
the same damage there as they do
here and study the remedial work that
it being done. Here he has learned
that by the tractive force of the rub
ber tires of the. speeding motor car
the surface binding dust of rock roads
is drawn from its resting place and is
sent swirling to the adjacent fields.
Inasmuch as the integrity of the ma
cadam road rests absolutely in this
surface leaves the road nothing but
a mass of loose i round stones. The
tests held here, especially those on
the Conduit Road near Washington,
D. C, prove this contention absolute
ly, and he carries with him a wonder
ful collection of photographs taken
during the progress of those tests, by
lightning-like cameras. These pic
tures will be submitted to the Con
gress assembled, being but the contri
bution of one savant, for it is not as
sumed that America alone has solved
this problem, the greater question
that will arise will be how to over
come the effect of automobile traffic
on hard roads without in any way re
striding the automobile or preventing
its development. Two solutions there
are to that question: one, to find a
material of uhich roads may be made
which creates no dust, or secondly, to
so treat the roads already constructed
that the dust will be retained upon
them. That, of course, is now being
done in many parts of the counry by
spraying with calcium chloride and
through the use of various bituminous
preparations. Director Page and his
associates will have much interesting
information to contribute along those
lines, for many ' miles of America's
roads have, within the past few
months, been treated by these various
preparations, many of the tests under
the direction of some expert from the
Federal Office of Public Roads.
