ceived tliu follow injx letter from V.
.It llobcrfs, former stale liiRhwny
commissioner for the stale of Wn-li-ington
and previously enuHinp i-
ginccr for the city of.Medford.
"Tneoma, April 3.
"Mr. K. H. llnnloy, Mcilfonl, Or.
"Dear Sir: My memorandum to
write you in regard to concrete
roads wax omehow mislaid, tind the
promised letter in regard to con
structing concrete romls for public
highways Iin lieen delaed.
"During the last two jcars there
have been n number of concrete
nmds Inld in the state of Wn-hinjr-ton,
some of which nre standing the
traffic nml giving splendid results.
One. laid near ChehnlN two year ago
iviIh laid Us n two-course concrete,
the bottom course -Vm inrlie- in
thickness of u mixlnre 1 :-, with
the top layer l'fc inches- thick of ti
mixture l-l-lj. The top course is
laid upon the lowc course before it
has hod time to set, so UiSl Ih'e two
cotin.es are ptaciically one, but the
top Iliyer is much finer and richer.
"Pierce county built three differ
ent roads under three different con
tractors, sixteen feet in width, all
with the same specifications and
one-course concrete, the proportions
being l-'J-4 nnd fi inches in thick
ness. Two of these roads nre show
ing splendid result, while the thinl
was skinned by the contractor aud
inspector nnd is a very poor piece of
work. The county commissioners
expect to recover it this season with
a sheet nphalt.
"The two-course concrete in
Lewis count? cost nbout f 1.10 per
square, yard, while the one-course
concrete in Pierce county cost nbout
00 cents jht square yard. Pierce
county laid 8Vj miles of 'granitoid'
in der the Hlome patent two years
ago, and this is a splendid road,
probably the most satisfactory road
in innnv respects on the Pacific
highway. The granitoid is laid simi
lar to n two-course concrete, the bot
tom 4' inches being a 1-3-tl mix
ture, and the top course cqunl parts
of cement and fine stone chips. The
granitoid bus shown a few longi
tudinal cracks, but in nearly all
cases they may be attributed to an
improperly prenared sub-grade.
"In general, I would say that a
concrete road makes a very satis
factory road lor automobiles, aud iU
durability depends entirely iiHin the
details of construction and tho thor
oughness with which the work is
done. Pierce county expects to con
tiuuo building concrete roads this
season, but is miilim the thickness
of the center ft inches at the outer
edges and 7 inches in the center, and
making the proportions l-2-3 in
stead of 1-2-1 as last season. Con
crete roads of this specification can
be laid for about !)0 cent per square
yard after the sub-grade is pre
pared. Very truly yours,
"V. J. HOBKKTR,
"Chief Kiigineer."

CHEERS HOME RULE
LONDON, April 7. Liberal poli
ticians were sighing with relief to
day over last night' majority of tho
second reading of tho Irlab home
rule bill.
Though they professed confidence
all along, their ranks were so badly
disorganized by the Incident of tho
army officers' resignation when tho
war offlco began making military
preparations In Ulster, that the par
ty leaders -were doubtful what the
net Note would be. It did, In fact,
show a narrower margin in the Llb-cral-Labor-Irlsh
alliance's favor over
the Contervatlven than earlier In tho
bCJslon hut the Liberals wero too
well satisfied that It wag as wide as
It was to do any complaining
Tho bill was expected to pass Its
third reading early In .!a, after
which It -will go to the ho arc of
lords.
