Washington, August 10."The
macadam road " said the U, S. Office
f TuWie Roads today, "is particular
ly adapted to main highways con
necting centers of population, but is
not satisfactory for city streets, and
is too expensive for rural roads other
than main highways or pikes." The
department has been investigating.
From 12 to 15 feet is recommended
as a suitable width, provided the road
Is flanked on each skle with firm
shoulders from 3 to 5 feet wide, to

French repulsed all other attacks on the Verdun front, tracks be eliminated .through culverts

Tiap rock is considered by the gov
ernment experts as the best for road-
uuuding purposes, although some
granites and the harder limestones
give good results. The United States
of Public Road tests samples of rock
submitted to it without charge, and
furnish advice as to the fitness of
any sample for road building,
The cost is entirely dependent on
local conditions and the availability
of materials. However, an estimate
of the cost of the macadam surface,
foundation and drainage costs elimi
nated, places the average expenditure,
where imported trap rock is used, at
approximately $3,000 to $3,000 per
mile for a 15-foot rood with an aver
age depth of 5 inches. Where a good
local stona is immediately available,
thf cost of the surface may be as low
as $1,500 to ?3,000 per mile. '
in Massachusetts, the actual cost
of imported trap rock, in place and
rolled was $1.70 a ton. covering 3.13
square yards of surface at 6 inches
tin depth. Iocal stone was secured in
this Instance at $1.22 a ton. :,
