GREAT READING DAM WILL FLOOD GRAVES Reservoir Will Cover Two Old Cemeteries. Heading, Pa, Conatructlon of tha huge Maiden creek dam by the city of Heading, the contract for which wo awarded to th McLean Construe tlun company of Baltimore, at a bid of $.108,000, will wipe out two rural cemeteries. Actual work will be start ed shortly and tha dam will back np the waters of the creek, covering part of three townships, to larva as an Impounding reservoir to take care of Beading's water needs for many years. The descendant of the Milden creek pioneers feel keenly the dese cration of their cemeteries. Many of th resident of Mulden Creek, Onte launee and Richmond townships hive relatives burled In the plot at the Friend meeting house or In Forney's cemotory, both of which are Includ ed In th area proposed to be flooded. , Qoee Back to 1710. Th burial plot of the Friends' meeting house date back to 1730, with Interments as recently ai two years ago. Th first burlali were made In unmarked graves. The faith of those worshiping there forbids any ihowujg whatsoever, with tb result that no tombstone were erected to mark the last resting place of th pioneer set tlers of the aectlon. Since the ceme tery Is to be relocated It will mean that the entire plot to a depth of at least all or aeven feet will hive to be gone over, as It 1 Impossible to locate all th grave.

Many other descendants of th pioneers of th Maiden creek re gion had representatives at the bear ing before th stat board, aome of th oldest famllle In that section be ing represented. Th board, however, refused to deliy th matter of water supply. Forney's graveyard Is a family plot and ! loci ted on tb farm of Jacob Forney.

This has been the burial place for the family for number of generations and always baa been maintained In first -class con dition. Hlstorie Landmark.

In lateera It has been used aa a place of worship, but hardly a day pass that one or more descend ants of those responsible for Its cre ation do not visit the hallowed spot Down through the ages the old meet ing house baa atood ai a monument to the efforts of the Llghtfoota, Starrs, Psrvins, Wylers, Penroees, Lees, Houl tons and others, who were among the Bret settlers. They blixed ths trail In an uncleared land and, after many years, were luccemful In giving Berks one of the nioet productive ag ricultural sections, only to have their deecendants view the disturbance of the remains renting for more than a century In the burial plot The erection of the Impounding dam Is a big undertaking and haa been under consideration fur aome time by the city council.

MORE AND BETTER ROADS EXPECTED IDghwiy construction for 1020 will result not only In better and imooth or rooda, but new record are expect ed to be made In roadway building, according to a survey Just completed by 0, R, oiokes, manager of th high way construction department of the National Lime association. A eerie of tests made In various sections of ths country show that by adding hydrated lime to the mix, a material 'aavlng In time Is secured, particularly on grades and curves, ac cording to leading engineers and con tractors who took part In ths tests. Experiments In building a road In marathon county, Wisconsin, showed thst an average of 77 more lineal feet of 18-foot root wo laid a day when lime was used. "Allot the reports showed that lime added to the concrete mix allows It to be plsced esaler, and permits a quicker finish, Mr. Stokes said. Th contractor's report that there Is lack of segregation, that there la no excess of wster to be removed from the pavement surface, and that maxi mum consistency csn be maintained through better control of the water content" The contractors reported thst the ue of lime not only con served time, with resultant reduc tion In pay roll expenses, but also gave the road to the public for use at an earlier date, According to T. Warren Allen, chief of the division of control of the bureau of public roads, th "lost-time" element Is a problem that Is of th gravest Importance In road building. Appearing before th house commit tee on roads recently Mr. Allen de clared that the bureau of public roada wa collecting Information to show tb results of poor management and good management In the building of highways. "There are a great many mora tteroa In th lost-time cstegory than would appesr poialbl at first thought" he said, "and during the time that work Is actually performed there are widely varying results, rang ing from excellent progress dus to good management to alow progress due to poor management "On the Janeevllle road In Wiscon sin, as well u on roads In Ohio, ths mix containing lime waa so dry that rolling was unnecessary, reports re ceived by Mr. Stokes from those stite show. "Th elimination of thl operation Increased the efficiency of the Job and enabled the finisher to work close to ths mschlna, which resulted In a large aaving la overtime finishing costs," Mr. Stokes declared. "Report truis ill aectlon of th country being received at present In dicate thst more headwsy will be made during the coming summer months la highway construction than ver before, and that the roads will be open to the public much sooner as a result of our testa, showing a large aavlng of time In the laying of con crete roads," hs said.
