"We start every morn loir at exartir half past 7 o'clock," said State High aVnv Commissioner Jinwi H uh. ' kid of Connecticut on a recent evening C'hen the writer was arranging for a ay's trip In the official automobile fvjover tbe highways wblcb have made It whs then 9 o'clock or later, and the commissioner bad just returned borne, so we anticipated a strenuous tomor row, rromptly at the hour appointed all were ready for the start. The improved roads over which we traveled have moderate grades and smooth surfaces. Though some of them were built a dozen years ago and bave never been treated with oil or ffttar or any special preparation, they 1 1 were in perfect condition except for some tew spots wnere tne autos are doing their destructive work, and the need of a little trap rock dust to pro tect the second course of stone is ap parent One of the Brat points noticed on this trip was that the state roads out side of the villages were smoother than those connecting with them that are under the care of the municipalities. says Charles S. Long in the Good Ronds Magazine. Within one town the commissioner called attention to a sprinkling wagflo. that was forcing tbe water down on the macadam and flush ing the One dust to tbe gutters instead of spraying it gently and leaving it to form a binder to tbe road. That kind I II of sprinkling tends to ruin a macadam 11 I roadway by removing tbe surfacing v j 1 material. Just as the motor car and me wuia remove lu Speaking of a stretch of road that extended like a ribbon of asphalt until the perspective brought it to a point at the farthest limit of vision, tho com missioner explained that it was con structed of gravel and bad been sur faced with trap rock dust Many of the dirt and gravel roads of tbe state are being treated In this way. They are graded and roiled and then, after a year or so, are given a surfacing of trap rock splinters and dust, which abound In tbe state. The state fur nishes annually a certain amount of broken stone or screenings to each town, and along tbe sides of the roads are to be seen piles of this material surmounted by signboards bearing the words "State Property." When a road of whatever kind of construction Is to be built with state aid In Connecticut the plana are drawn In tbe commissioner's office In the cap ttol bnlidlng at Hartford. An engineer la thai sent to establish tne grades along tbe proposed road. These grades are verified from time to time by the nglneer, and stakes which may bave been displaced In the prosecution of the work by the contractor are reset. o that the finished road shall conform mctly to the original specifications. Drainage Is attended to first on tbe Vunrlnclnle of the cntnmlasloner'a famous three "keeps" vis, "Keep the water off the road, keep it out of tbe road, keep it from under the road." This U having been attended to, tbe neces sary bridges and culverts are arranged . rr i , i . . . j a lur. imw are ueiug uousirucieu ui concrete as fast as possible. Then conies the forming of the sub grade. Tbe contractor Is required In building any kind of rood to remove all loam, roots and vegetable matter ' from tbe proposed travel way of the rond and also everything of a spongy nature. If there Is not material enouKh to brln? the subgrnde to tbe height re;iitri'd tbe contractor must supply the deficiency. If there Is an overplus frmii cuts It must be disused of uc- sordini; to directions. The subjrrnde 1.! relied thoroughly with a ten ton i The Development of the Remington is the History of tie Writing Machine New Models 10 -a 1 1 -Now Ready Modal 10 witk Column Selector Remington Typewriter Company (lnip"f New Yerfc anal Em) where steam roller and brought to the exact contour of the finished road surface. Importance la laid upon the manner of building the shoulder. In fact Impor tance la laid upon every step in tbe progress of construction, for tbe com missioner says that there are no "little things" in roadmaklng, and the con tractor Is required to extend the shoul der several inches on to the travel way and thoroughly roll or ram the material down to the established grade and then cut it back to the line. This renders It firm and unyielding to ine metaling. In the construction of a .travel road it is specified that "the first course shall consist of good, clean gravel, not less than 80 per eeut of gravel, the balance material that will bind. No loam will be allowed "The gravel shall ranee from pea stone to three Inches at Its longest di ameter. Care must be taken to have the gravel as near uniform In quality ss possible, avoiding sand, the small sires to predominate. The gravel shall Jje spread on uniformly and roll ed down, after wblcb a sprinkler shall be used and this course wet down and then rolled ojain and continue rolling until it is Crrii and thoroughly com pacted. This course shall be three inches in depth when complete after rolling. "After the first course the second course shall be put on. and the samo method shall be pursued In Its treat ment In every particular as described for the first course, except that the size of tbe gravel shall not be larger than will go through i two inch screen. This course shall be three Inches in depth after rolling. "After the contractor has taken out all wheel and foot marks on tbe sec ond course and has finished rolling he shall then put on the last or finishing course, which shall consist of CO per eent of stone and 40 per cent of bind ing material. No stone shall exceed pne inch longest diameter. This course must be spread with shovels either from the wagon or from tbe gravel damped on tbe shoulders. Tbe con tractor must not dump the loads of gravel on the road proper. This course after being spread uniformly shall be wet down and rolled, and the wetting and rolling shall be continued until the road Is solid and firm and will not show the mark of hoof or wheel while driving over it" There are many miles of gravel roads within the state of Connecticut which are as smooth to use a term that Is becoming familiar as applied to improved roads as a billiard table, and when, after a year or so of traffic, they are given the surfacing of trap rock splinters it Is difficult to note tbe difference in appearance from mac adam. This construction affords a hard, smooth and durable surface. On this official tour of Inspection there was Included a stretch of telford construction. Here the travel path had been excavated to a depth of a foot below grade line, and then the lnrge stone for the first or bed course was laid. In doing this class of work the commissioner requires that "the bed stone shall be of the following di mensions: Six to ten Inches In width, eight to eighteen inches In length and eight Inches deep, placed by hand, broadest surface of depth of stone placed down and stones laid In courses across the road, all Joints broken and all Interstices chinked In and wedged with broken stone. All Bbarp points of stone must be broken off with tbe hammer to bring the surface of tbe bed stone true to grnde. The bed stone should be laid up full and strong so as to allow for all settling In roll ing. In no case will the contractor he allowed to use stone that U not up to all these requirements. After bed stone hns been laid, chinked nnd broken off to (.-rmie tbe roller shall be run over the bed Ftone until It Ih firm ly bet'ded nnd will not kick or rock under the roller. No nests of small stone will be allowed, nor will the con tractor le allowed t use rotten stone "The seciinl oi.iirc Klin!) be four Inches over nil u.'tcr rolling and must be broken tr;ip ro.'l: unless otherwise Hpeellln'. 'P'e tone used for this Model 11 With Buih-in Tabulator course shall be from three-foutba of an inch to two Inches longest diame ter, mixed in the screens (net la the bins), the smaller sixes to predominate. The site of stone for this coarse must be strictly followed to the letter, no tailings will be allowed, and any de parture from tbe slxe specified will be at tbe contractor's risk. Tbe stone must be dumped on the aides of the road proper or on the bed stone foun dation and be scattered with shovels to the required depth sufficient to roll down to four Inches. The rolling shall be continued until tbe stones are thor oughly united, firm and solid under the roller. "The top course shall be one Inch thick when finished. Trap rock screen ings, iucluding dust (no screenings larger than one-half Inch stone will be allowed), shall be used as a finish- lug course. The screenings after roll Ing has been done on the last course of broken stone shall be carted on the sides of the rend proper and dumped at sultnble Intervals, after which all wheel tracks and foot marks of horses shall be carefully filled and then rolled down firmly. Then screenings shall be scattered dry over the surface so as to fill all interstices, and the roller shall be run over tbe surface so as to shake In the dust. Immedistelv after a sprinkling rart shall be used and tne screenings washed In, after which more screenings must be added and sprinkled and rolled acaln. and the screenings, rolling and sprinkling must be continued until all the coarse stones hnve been covered and the In terstices completely filled and the road Is smooth and will shed water and measure In depth one Inch of screen ings for wearing surface. The con tractor Is not to be allowed to put on the screenings all at one time, but must sordid tbem on as described above, and he Is not allowed to devi- ate from the above treatment In anv way. The contractor must not wet the screenings before thev have been scattered on the broken stone, and, furthermore, they must be perfectly dry before they are put on the rond." It requires constant vigilance dur ing the term of construction to Insure value received In road bulldlna. And one who has traveled for a day at a time with several state highway com missioners appreciates that tie office la not a sinecure. The Bllrfcearw Ftaht Pleasing progress in fighting the bill board Is reported from all quarters. Even from London, Parte, Berlin, Honolulu and many foreign eltlea re ports come of new and more restrictive measures. Every cltv In the T?nlt1 State enacting new ordinances on the subject strikes a bjtrdrr blow at these landscape blots.
