= PR THURSDAY. OCTOBER 25, 1917- LAN TO IMPROVE HIGHWAYS ©Ohio Township Aims to Make Roads More Pleasant to Travel Over in Heat of Summer. “Coupled with a strong good-roads sentiment in an Ohio township,” says Farm and Fireside, “is a plan to line the roads of the township with trees. The principal reason advanced by the committee which has charge of the project is to make the roads more pleasant to travel in the heat of sum- mer. “In addition, the trees will in a meas- ure help to keep the surrounding ground moist by preventing rapid evap- oration, thus keeping down the dust. They will shelter travelers during storms, check the erosion of ditches on hills, beautify adjacent property, and add to the general attractiveness of land values of the community. “Those who start such work are not likely to live long enough to see thelr plans fully completed and to enjoy the shade. This fact lends a pathetic touch to the project as well as indicating a sincere and unselfish desire to be of public service.” SURFACES FOR HILLY ROADS 8lipping and Skidding on Smooth, Hard Covering Is an Ever-Present Dread Among Farmers. Slipping on hilly roads is one of the unfortunate results which horses must suffer as a result of covering the roads with hard surfaces, while the possibili- ty of skidding on these slopes is an ever-present dread among motorists. A special form of paving brick, called illside bricks,” s made for use on grades exceeding one foot rise in 20 feet horizontal distance. These bricks have grooves cut across their tops to hold the shoes of the horses and the tires of the cars, and have been re- ceived with much favor by road build- ers. Recently the same object has been attained with bituminous roads built on hills, by leaving them with a Rough Surface on Hilly Road. rough surface. This method of con- struction was devaloped by the Mas- sachusetts state highway commission. According to Engineering News, the roadbed is covered with broken stone from two to three inches in size, which is rolled until the bed is three inches thick. This bed then has hot asphalt applied to it by a pressure distributor at the rate of two and three-fourths to three gallons per square yard. This asphalt fills the spaces between the 3 stones, but the latter are so large that their tops project somewhat above the asphalt binder and thus afford a foot- bold in any but icy weather. VALUE OF IMPROVED ROADS Value of Farm Increased by Getting Crops to Market Rapidly and Cheaply as Possible. The value of good roads is becom- ing more and more recognized in the United States every day. Wise men point to the fact that tap-line railroad spurs cannot be constructed in the country for less than $75,000 a mile, and that the cost of these must be paid by the commodity transported over them. The good roads do not cost so much and are just as efficient. Everything that makes it easier to get crops to the market raises the value of farm lands by makiog.them more profitable to the farmer. Leads in Road Improvement. The Automobile club of Southern California, with its 10.203 members, which claims to be the largest organ- ization of tbe kind in the world, de- clares that Celifornia is leading all states in highway development.
