Very truly yours,
P M Vickoky
The gutters iu too many of our vil
lages and towns are paved wlUi cob
bles, a most vicious practice and one
often entailing such serious damage to
the contiguous pavement that the cost
of repairs In one. year equals the addi
tional cost of Homo form of cut blocks.
Irregular shaped split stones, with
smooth face up and greatest dimension
In the depth, make a very good cheap
gutter and far superior to cobble pave
invut, whose extreme roughness forces
the water during storms out on to the
macadam with disastrous results. Gut
ters of this description should be four
feet In width instead of three feet,
which Is usual, and should rise from
the gutter five Inches. The macadam
pavement should rise to the center of
crown at the rate of one-half an Inch
per foot (a little more on steep grades),
the cross section being the arc of a
circle. If the ground Is firm and on a
good grade, four and a half Inches of
. finished macadam road may be built In
the following manner:
Shape subgrude carefully four and
one-half Inches below crown propor
tioned as above. Roll until solid with
the heaviest roller obtainable, not less
than three tons. Cover with five inches
of broken stone which will all pass
through a one and one-half Inch ring
and graded In size to three-quarters of
an inch. Koll dry until firm and all
he stones have settled into place. Cov
er with one and one-half inches of
screenings containing about 25 per
cent of the flour and roll dry, after
ward sprinkling with water liberally
In front of the roller until the surface
becomes hard and sets like cement.
The road should be allowed to dry out
before using and gone over carefully
for a few days, placing screenings
where the heavier stone has broken
through until the whole surface la well
bonded.
; Xo gutters should be laid until after
the macadam Is finished. Curbs should
be dropped for sidewalk crossings to
two inches above gutter level. No
pipes or gutter bridges should be per
mitted, as they are responsible for one
half the damage to macadam pave
ment in village streets. If absolutely
necessary, owing to height of sidewalk,
twelve inch iron pipe set so low that
the flow line of water passing through
It when the gutter is running full will
not be above the level of the outer edge
of the gutter is far better than gutter
bridges, which are an abomination.
Culverts should be constructed across
the street where necessary, with open
ings for street water of sufficient size.
The cross section of culverts should be
calculated with some degree of accu
racy from the tributary watershed and
can generally be cheaply and well built
of one or more lines of vitrified pipe
up to twenty-four inches in diameter.
Care should be taken to give not less
than six Inches fall across street for
Invert of culvert, and proper masonry
bead walls should be built at each end.
Th grade on macadam roads should
never be less than six Inches In 100
feet, especially where storm water Is
collected by gutters.
Where subgrade Is spongy and
ground water Is abundant and fre
quently where cots In grade are nec
essary tile underdralns most be built
as follows: Excavate trenches three
feet deep outside of macadam on one
or both sides, as may be necessary; lay
four Inch tile drain, with Joints packed
with bagging, to true grade, with prop
er outlet, fill trench carefully with
loose stones to a point one foot below
surface, lay soda upside down oa top
of this and fill with earth well rammed.
The above description is of aa all
tone road, which is recommended In
'nearly every case, as It will retain its
"bond longer than those in which some
foreign materials, -as sand or clay,
bare been in trod need. Where the

In an article on the evils of foot
bill News & Observer says: "Men
who have played ball during the en
tire college course of four years are
retaioed one, two or three years after
graduation, solely to play ball. Men
are even hired by colleges as instruc
tors or tutors or assistants, because
they are good ball players and will
continue to play ball even while they
are college teachers all this is pro
fessional, pare and simple, or very
thinly veiled. And this is the
freat evil of college athletics today,
t lowers the tone of college life,
surrenders its heretofore lofty ideals
makes it a party to f rands, decep
tion and constant falsehood."
