Ancient Mayas Traveled in Style;
Had Concrete Highways 410 A. D.
By r. B. COLTON
(Aaaoclsted Preaa Science Writer.)
WASHINGTON IJPtlt an Ameri
can motorist could be transported
back 1,500 yeara to the time when
the mighty loat empire of the Maya
Is believed to have flourished in
southern Mexico, he could eully have
toured In hla car over first-class con
crete roada.
These roads, better than any built
In modern America until the coming
of the automobile, still crisscross the
region which la now deserted. One
of them, running more than 00 miles
straight across country, haa been sur
veyed and explored for the first time
by an expedition of the Carnegie In
stltutlon of Wsshlngton.
Roads Easily Traced.
Though built about the time when
Alarle the, Ooth waa sacking Rome
witn his BsrDsrian hordes, in 410 A
D., the roads still can be easily traced
through the Jungle that covera them
and the ruins of cities thst they con
nected.
Expert say the Maya roada are
fully aa good aa tha famous high
waya of the ancient Romans. The
one explored by the Carnegie Instltu
tion expedition, headed by Alfonso
Villa, runs In practically a straight
una 13 ;4 miles from Tsxuna to Cobs
30-Foot Road.
Tha road Is from 30 to 34 feet
wide, rslsed from two to eight feet
above the level of the aurroundlng
country. The old Maya englneera dug
down to hardpan along, the road's
route, and built retaining walla of
large limestone blocks set In mortar
on either side to the height to which
they wished to bring the road sur
face.
Between the walla was first laid a
layer of huge boulders, two to there
feet long and weighing hundreds of
pounds, with the spaces chinked with
smaller atones. Successively smaller
layers of stones were laid on top of
the boulders, then a layer of fine
broken atone rolled or pounded Into a
bard, level aurface, and finally a
smooth coating of mortar cement.
Along this road Villa's expedition
found what la probably Amerlca'a
first road roller, a atone cylinder 13
feet long, weighing five tons, and
antedating by 1,500 years the steam
roller of today. It probably waa roll
ed about by slaves or war captives
or the Maya In road surfacing.
The roads must have been built for
human foot-traffic only, scientists
believe, for the Maya had no wheeled
vehlclee as did the Romans, or bur
den-carrying anlmala aa did the Incas
who built roada In South America.

OLD AGE PENSION
INlSICOlTIESpoRTlDlFING
Revision of Act Passed By
Last Legislature Demand
edGovernor Meier Giv
ing Problem Attention
SALEM, Ore. (UP) Revision of the
old age pension, act, passed by the
1033 legislature, Is being demanded
by Oregon counties as January 1,
date of effectiveness, approaches.
Already harrassed for funds, coun
ty courts have appealed to Governor
Meier for some relief from granting
not more than $30 a month to quail
fylng applicants. The legislature left
to the counties financing of the pen
sions. It will be Impossible for most coun
ties to meet the pension require
ments, even If additional taxes could
be levied and collected. Judge Vlstor
Moses of Benton said in a letter to
the governor.
Cost Benton 930,000
There are 743 pensions In Bentou
county eligible to receive pensions.
Moses figured. That would cost the
county approximately $30,000 a year,
ft would not be possible to raise more
than $8,000 by taxation and stsy
within the six per cent limitation
required by law.
The governor said he Is giving the
pe nslon problem consideration. It
Pill probably be discussed at the spe
cial session of the legislature, with
another method of financing possible.
Bankruptcy looms for many counties
If the law remains In Its present form,
officials claim.
Pensions After 70
The pension act provides persons
more than 70 years of age and with
out other Incomes may receive not
more than $30 a month from the
counties. Pensioners must be of good
character, and long-time residents of
the state, property valued at not more
than $3,000 may be owned without
disqualifying pension application.
Attorney I. H. Van Winkle held In
a recent opinion that county clerks
have no alternative but to grant a
pension to each applicant who quali
ties. A court can use Its discretion
ae to amount of the pension below
$30, but is prohibited from evading
the spirit of the law by making it ex
tremely low.
