i | | | ON GOOD ROADS ity Commissioner Jardine Dis- cusses Merits of Various Kinds of Highway Construction. CONSIDERS ANGLE OF AUTO “First and foremost, the matter of good roads has a great many angles to be looked at,” declared City Com- missioner Jardine, “The advent of the automobile is possibly the first angle to be considered “Macadam used to be considered, if properly put down, to be one of the best and most pavements; but the automobile going over a practical cheap suction of the macadam road has proved, in all parts of the country, that it is a class of pave ment that could not be utilized to the best advantage, owing to the suc- tion caused by the cars being rap dly driven over the road, The small particles of dust th wear on the surface with a horse and wagon were pounded back into the road and made part of it; but the suction of the automobile draws it out and leaves the road in a far more dilapidated condition in five months than the wear and tear for five years with horse-drawn equipments, unless oiled or tarred, and then it is not always satisfactory. Therefore, it is neces sary to construct a different kind of | a road, namely, a road that is oiled or tarred so as to keep down the suction, “A dirt road, properly construct ed, properly rounded and properly bound by tar or oil, with properly constructed gutters and drains to gether with proper spillways, is far better than any cheap macadam that can be put down, as the oil sheds the water; it holds together the dust and dirt so that suction cannot pick it up, and leaves the road in fairly good shape if it is kept properly repaired by this method “As to the relative cost, I believe it is far cheaper than a macadam road and far superior from a wearing standpoint Take the ordinary dirt road, pulverized properly, and in low and boggy places drain tile put in so as to take away any surface water, and built up from the ground clear to the top by being pulverized and rolled as the grade is raised, and kept dragged with a King drag, or an in strument of that kind after every rain, which can readily be done in the country by each man having a certain amount of road to handle; frost and climate will not injure this kind of a road with reference to ex- pansion and contraction. “Take the road between Council Bluffs and Sioux City. They have a| dirt road there that is built along this plan, with the exception of the oil and tar, and after each and every hard rain the roads, in one hour's time, gre better than they were be fore the rain, as they dry quickly if | the sun comes out and the winds| blows, thereby settling the dust. “If you are going to build artificial roads, 1 believe the best and cheap- est road, in the long run, would be a brick pavement with concrete base, properly constructed in such a man- ner that water coming off the pave ment could not run over the sides of the road, thereby settling the outside 50 as to crack the pavement in any place, the center of the road on the grades to be depressed some so as to carry the water and dump it at the lowest point. 1 believe a pave- ment of this kind would last fifty years, if properly put down. “The next best pavement, I believe, would be a concrete pavement made of hard granite laid in -such manner that the center of it would be, pos sibly, an inch and a half or two inches lower than the outside, with an expansion joint through the cen ter of it filled with asphaltum so that the pavement in no shape ,would crack, and that the edges of the cop crete would not wear any faster than the asphalt itself, together with an expansion joint every eighty feet crosswise filled with asphalt. In that way it would eliminate all the cracks | that concrete | pavements and | 1d ma the pavement are so injurious to laid in the always be| set for in-| Public Plfiivg;‘(’)nnds [n City Parks Open JUDQGE SPEEDS HASTENING VISITOR ON WAY TO HOME GIVES HIS VIEWS | THE BEE OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1916 shows men who have just come down from third story of building, where they had been for some time.
