IMPROVING COUNTRY ROADS Estimates Furuished by Oity Engineer Rose- water to the County Commissioners. FAVORS THE SANDSTONE PAVEMENT Another Effort (o Oust Clerk Stevens Fiashes He Still Mo is Job all Murgin Husine City Engineer Andrew Rosew the county commissioncrs yester noon the wing communication concern ing the pavement of the county roads that are to be improved this year: To e HONORABLE COMMISSIONERS OF Dovaras Covsty: In conformity with your request I have pre od plans, specifications and estimates of costs r various pave ments, suitable to the main roads from Omaha into the country, which you have decided to pave. To determine the essential features of these plans 1 have carefully con sidere 1 the requisites of traftic in connec tion with the idea of permanency that term can be ordinarily appl improvements To secure the road, the first ness'of line and ¢ that the road founda ing and durable; second, the road covering or surface must develop the least resistance to traction. afford good and safe footing for Lorses at the same time possess the greatest istance to wear from traftic i the disintegrating influences of natural ments. desirable and most essential aside from d sy gradients is: First stable, unyield best ca Points on Dralnag: The requisite under the first head suitable ation upon our clay soils can be obtained by compactness of road bed and reaay means of surface and sub-surface drainage. An earth road, limited trafe, makes the best of roads, if it be kept dry to a depth below frost line. Un 1ess kept frec from moisture above and below arface it will readily cut up when soft ned by summer rains and become almost impassable in the spring when the contained moisture is thawed out, and the hereto frozen scction assumes a mushy condi until a part of the evaporated from th maining t has porous soil below In clay soils the moisture cannot readily go downward, and hence a large period of tine elaps. re complete evaporation is hence the roads on clay soil re impassable longer in the spring than “hose on loam or sand. In a pavea road, the frost acting on the moisture below, expands the soil and upheaves the paving surface in shape. It is thus ‘ll arly obvious that the moisture both an earth road, as well as under ca d surface must be drawn away below the freezirg line. In view of this common necessity, 1 have provided for subsurface drainage upon all the plans by the means of a central blind drain, in_connection with drain tiles which have side outlets at convenient intervuls Having disposed of the subsurfa it is easy to round off the surface it by side ditches, with through culvert viz.: A and loamy on the re- the and through urfuc ned waters and drain therwise cked Ronds, mpacting of the road surface next needs attention. To have an unyielding road bed, whether it be a plain earth road or supplemented with pavement, it prime importance that the bed be thoroughly compacted in the shape desired or else it will soon fa1l by settling unevenly and fill up with water holes and soft mud spots. Rolling with heavy rollers has become the recognized method which experience has de- veloped. Scarcely a county in theold settled states and in Europe is without one or more substantial road rollers. The best are oper- ated by steam and weigh from ten to fifteen ch. 1 therefore, in this conuection, se your honorable body to secure one or more first class steam road rolle a one of light and the other heav for use on not only the but in the building up of the all over the county. By I embankments when being layers of ome foot _depth each they will attain thorough compac as soon as completed and not settle at points as they do now. With a compacted earth base prepared for a paved roadway and the necessary drainage provided for, the next subject for consideration is the character of pavement to be used. In considering this we have a large variety to select from. 1 have concluded to limit myself, however, to a road covering of what are termed perma nent materials, viz., stone or brick. Macadam asa Surface. Macadam from its universal usage on c s during the pasj cen- ¢ is the first to suggest itself to ouf con ation. Briefly stated, this pavement is composed of a series of layers of broken stone rolled one upon the other over a pre- ared base, smaller stones and screcnings being used on the upy layers than on the base. This requires little skill in laying, and when in good condition doubtless “affords, next to natural compact dry carth, the best footing for horses with reasonably light resistance to traction, Ex cepting where it is not too expensive the blocks are of limestone. The objectionable features to limestone macadam 1 wet weather the dust resulting from trafic forms a pasty grouting, which spurts and splashes over’ vehicles and occupants in a most dis ble manner. Another fea ture of macadam is the constant rutting nto holes It has been truly s excellent qualities a upon perpetual excellence in its m and repairs. In my plans submit the more modern an of broken stone road pavement known as “Telford or Telford macadam. The improve- ment lies in the base layer of stone, which consist of u layer of stone blocks set on their broadest edge at vight o to the roadway in regular even parallel courses, supplemented with broken stonc as uiready described. Other Materials Suggest In addition to the Telford ma submit plans for a macadam upon base. ‘The aifference in cost per range from £1,000 to §,000 on classes. Either of them are th of stone pavements for country roads in first cost, but, if selected, the fact that they re quire constant uttention to be ina condition of continuous good repair should not be lost sight of. The plans for Advantage of Hard | The ¢ be pa ling over road graded, in id of this ntenance nd estimates 1 improved form dam, I nile may these two other paving material sub- mitted embrace a road covery of Colorado sandstone on saud or sund and broken stone base, and also on a concrete base. These will be more costly, but the best and most desirable, requiring hitdle attention, if once well laid, for many years, and being suscepti- ble to cleaning and swee without dis turbing the road covering. A plan vitritied brick upon concrete base, as in the city, is also sub mitted. The latter makes an exceilent smooth road, its durability depending upon the cl ter of brick used. In view of the dificulty of sel rick thoroughly vitri fied and of equal durability 1 suggest that the bids on this be based upon a guarantee of five years mamtenance. for laid Featy 3 Tu the plans for each of these you will notic t been made to dr. the action pavements special provisions have in both the road as well rface under it, as to prevent of frost upon the road built. In connection with the of paviug county roads 1 am that you will have innumerable ady of cheap roags with all classes of covering. 1n most of them the very first princivlo of “firm foundation for firm road covering” is utterly snored and the question of subdrainnge lost sight of. It is for those who have as when subject aware ates 1 fine macadam roads and drives in boul Is and parks to advo cate macadam, owing to its cheapuess, but a little investigation will show that where a smooth, clean macadam is maintained in public streets or ads, the stone usod is & broken grani trap rock, neither of which materials availuble here in Ne braska. Secondly. it is not generally known but is a fact that'the annual cost of main tenance of fine macadam streets of Paris and other larve cities ranges u §1 to & per yard, or more than the entire first cost of such pavement, Another fact that must be borne in mind only the light carriages under the reguln tions are allowed over such roads whereas Our maln country roads wmust be used by all | to rutting, whilst the country under | contaimed moisture has | | plate | pounds | frequent outlets | is of | \en roads | | board, | During the winter | blood the d that its | good health absolutely dependent | concrete heapest | any | natural | | Jonn W kinds of loaded vehicles. Again the park ronds aro only travelod over in pleasant weather, when they are dry and less liable available to loaded vehicles at all seasons These facts must be borne in mind in de termining the relative merit and valuo of a wood stone or brick bloek paving surface, involving slight expense of maintenance or attention with the cheaper macadam road tequiring perpetual repairs and mainte | nan Tramways Considered, ‘There is still one more feature to be con sidered, namely, the tramway. The advo cates of tramways have man, in support of ‘this system. Pernaps no stronger could be pointed than the fact that the commerce of the world is now mainly carried over rails, which embody essentially the tramway principle. On a level road the friction of a wheel over an iron rail is so ight that fully twenty times the load can rried over it than on an earth road, but the moment the ground has a slope, the pull not only has to overcome the frictional re ce of the wheels, but it must to this rosistance lift of the the wagon its__ entire 1 the full amount For this \son steam T limit_their gradients; ninety feet per mile is the maximum grade of the Union Pacific road over the steepest part of the Rocky moun- tains, Thisis only about one and eight- tenths feet per 100, and usually two locomo- tives of an aggregat of 800 to 1,000 horse the train Ou streets and county roads such es are and neces sarily must be excee by from 200 to 400 per cent.
