State Highway Commissioner Mac- Donald has issued a circular letter to town and city officials regarding the care of the macadam roads.in Con- necticut. .~ The commissioner states among other things, that it is his pur- pose to allow a liberal amount of mopney for the repair of the . state 5. and hoped to get them. in gool shape ‘oy the middle of May. Regard- ing the \care of the roads and plans for the repairs, thie commissioner says: ~“The general plan is to remove all eoarse stone from macadam roads nd where ruts have appeared in the oiled roads-as soon as the weather settles and the reads have dried out— | to put thé scraper “on the road, just the width of the travel path and not | on the shoulders, and .replace. the material that has sliucked off off the sides+of the road, so.as to cumvlete\y cover the roadbed proper. The reason for doing this is that we are unable at this time, owing to the.fact that the quarries have net begun gperations’ actively as yet, to get out Stope ih the quantities and dimensions that we require for our repairs.. Pending the active operation’ of the quarries, we will haye to protect our roadsthe best | we can. Where ruts or toe marks have: become apparent, inch stone will be supplied so as to fill these ruts and toe marks prior to scraping back the material in which ojl was incorporated last season. - This will assist in-pro- tecting the road bed and extend the life of the road until such times as we can get access to the material we desire. In_respect to gravel roads, new material should be applied in all toe marks and ruts,-and ‘when the road Is in condition and the weather is rfght, the shoulders -should be pared down. In so far as the shoulder work is concerned, also clegning out gutters, the ‘weather is hardly settleq i ciently to enfer upon this line of re- pair, except perhaps in the towns lying close to the seashore, where the frost disappears very quickly. “It is my purpose and has been so The Sams and Susans.
