These reports aret from states, counties, parishes townships, r6ad districts and municipalities. While the flcures show the usual winter slackening in rond building thev also Indicate that provision for street construction In the cities has gone forward. Contemplated bond is- sues for country highways increased J from J26,935.000 to $.107,009,200, or $10,074,200. .Jonds Voted by - the public amounted to $90,414, 727. The bonds amounted to $J. 154.250. Con templated bond Issues for streets Increased- from $0,981. 45 to (26,164, 498, a Jump of $1.182,653. ;Eoiul Is sues voted for streets increased from $22,717,465 to $23,137,175, or $419,710 and the bonds sold amounted to $15, 262,972. The rapid strides made by the cit ies of the country in street paving during 1921, as compared to 1920, is indicated by additional reports to the Asphalt Association 'from city engi neers Which show that . 30.000,000 .square yards, equivalent to V'50 miles of asphaltlc pavement thirty feet wide, were laid on American City streets last year.

VTh'at's easy to talk about, but how are you going to plow when the ground is so hard and dry, and the weather so hot that a team can't work?".. That, probably is your objection to the formula. ' ' ; , - . 7 ' :- " '-. ; "Use a Fordson-Oliver Plowing Outfit," is the answer. Heat and hard soil and dry weather don't bother a bit when you use Fordson power instead of horses.

Impact is the new and destructive ' y vt pavements, according to en- , jB'ncers.

In a sense the truck becomes a i projectile and batters the pavement by mighty Impacts. Two methods of re- j ststing Impact have been developed I among highway engineers, one being j to design a rigid structure which will ' withstand the impact of an armor ! plate Is expected to withstand the pro jectile. This method is an effort- to j match the strength of the destructive agent ' with an equal or superior strength on the itart of the defensive agent. It calls for a constantly Inr creasing thlcknes sof slab and more reinforcement, Just us imore powerful guns and Increasingly effective armor piercing projectiles call, for thicker Brnjtir This method has found con siderable favor In the Eastern states, but on the.
