Busman's Holiday
His idea of a vacation is to
travel around looking over as
many miles of other states' high
ways as possible. He recently
had two days freedom in New
York. He spent them visiting
with that state's highway engi
neers and inspecting their new
est roads.
Employes close to him refer to
.Baldock as a "deep thinker and
concentrator." Beneath his rath

wealth of kindliness and good

Many Honors
He is a recipient of many hon

designbuilding and financing.
For his contribution to "high
way progress in America" he was
given the George S. Bartlett
award in 1950, the highest honor
a highway engineer can achieve.
In 1948 he serve, as president
of the national American Asso

Law-Cost Roads
While still a resident engineer
in eastern Oregon in 1926, he
helped this state out of the dust
age many years ahead of its neigh
bors when he perfected a mass-
production, low-cost method of
macadam-oiling gravel roads. This
type of pavement is used all over
, th wnrtH nnw
r in m
Later, in 1936, he developed the
design for building highways based
on the speed engineers feel is right
for a road. The road is designed
to handle a certain speed even on
grades and curves. This has been
adopted on a national level since.
An expert on highway finances,
he authored the weight-mile tax
for trucks in 1937. The Oregon
Legislature adopted it in 1947.
He is also the author of his de
partment's study of highway eco
nomics, the first of its kind in the
nation. From his travels in Eu
rope he brought back to Oregon
the theory of p re-stressed concrete
structures for highways.
Bluepriat Maps
He also was one of the first
highway engineers to use blue
prints, maps, scale drawing and
scale models in winning the often-
reluctant Oregon public over to his
ideas.
Annual highway expenditure in
this state now average about $50
million. In 1915, a year
