The matter next in importanc question of the material tobe the construction of the road bed. Tcan say, without fear of contradi tion thiat no known system of road or street construction can be compared with that of the Romans. he Roman roads, the via Apj the via Aurelia, the via Flaminia, the roads to the Rhine and the Danube and the 4,000 miles of road from the wall of Antoni- nus, in Great Britain through Rome to Jerusalem, still veveal lessons of con- struction worthy of the study of the road builders of the nineteenth century Their method of construction was to remove the soil to the full width of the road until a solid foundation was reached. This soil was rveplaced by more solid material well packed and made thoroughly compact and every precan- tion was taken to have the body 1]:{ the rcad hard and stro This strength was made perfeet by four layers of material, the lower layér con- sisting of large flat stones, if convenient; if not, other stones were used and these were laid in mortar. The next layer was of small stones or coarse concrete; the third of finer concret on which was laid stones of several angles joiged nicely and solidly together, which was the top lay These four layers constituted a thickness of from three to sometimes seven feet. Many of, the roads con- structed by the Romans remain in good condition at this day after a lapse of fifteen centuries, during which most of them have had little or no repaivs. They stand a monument to the eng ing ability of their builders and a worthy example for the most able engineers of the present century to follow. No system of voad building has been devis in point of durability and sm approaches these works of queror To be sure, the cost of construction such roads was enormous, but they built for milita armies of men construction. In these times we must devise some cheaper method of roadmaking, but it is evident that & system which is based upon the same fundamental principles which governed in the construction of these old roads will give the best re- sults.
