BAY STATE ROADS. om Facta Ahoat tha Highways of Maaaaobasatta. f , It costs: on an average f 9,000 per mile to build a state road in Massa chusetts, says the Boston Globe, but the actual cost depends on locality and conditions, hardly two cases ; being alike. One-fourth of the cost of a state road la borne by the county In which It Is situated, the balance being contributed by the state. ' M' The work of the highway commission has developed a number of high class professional roadbuildcrs. Many of the younger and more ambitious bare entered the employ of the national gov ernment in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines In the same, line of work. Most of the state roads are of broken Btone, but a few are of gravel The type of road built Is determined by the engineer, who tnaks careful examina tion of sollSr-4raljwgey gravel, atone. grades and toM&-Sjss,ji':tf Xi The thickness of stone on state roads varies from four to sixteen Inches, the lesser being placed over good gravel or sand, the greater over, heavy clay. : The broken stone used on state roads passes through half Inch, Inch and a half and two and a half Inch screens. The lar gest size Is placed on the bottom, the second size on top of this and the crown Is made with half Inch material. All are rolled separately and thor oughly. The cost of trap rock for roadbulld ing varies from $1.10 peoeton to $1.60 per ton. The state owns seventeen steam rollers, which are employed In state roadbuilding. ! The standard width of stone roadways In Massachu setts built by the commission Is fifteen feet There are some only : ten and twelve feet wide, but they are) not deemed economical to maintain. . When a state road is constructed. It remains under the control of the state highway commission'. The local au thorities are taxed an amount not to exceed $50 per mile for maintenance. t Curtain calls. Herbert Kelcey is playing "Sherlock Holmes."

' This simple memorial THE dREAT "HIGHWAY.'- Jtatomobllca aad taa Haw Tark-Cfcl- a The owners of racing automobiles have brought that machine, which might be useful, into such disrepute that It Is pleasant to find one of them engaged in useful public service. Colo nel Dickinson of Springfield, Mass., left recently on an automobile trip to Chicago which promises to strengthen the movement for good roads, says the Brooklyn Eagle. He Is treasurer of the New York and Chicago Road asso ciation,: which hopes to bave a line of smooth, hard highways connecting the two cities. The distance is some 850 miles, of which only 320 miles are of good macadnm. The association, which numbers some 2.0UU members, will ask the next legislature to bond the state cf New York to build a good tate highway, and Mr. Dlculuson seems, confident of state, help In Ohio. . Indi ana be regards as the enemy's country, There Is no question that smooth. bard highways would be of immense benefit to farmers and not be merely a convenience for the owners of auto mobiles and bicycles. It has been shown over and bver again that the farmer could draw four times as heavy loads to market with the same span of horses over a properly made road as over the average roads through even. level country. ; The roads ought to be made and kept In repair from local taxation by the towns and counties through which they run.. But co-oper ation between such neighboring divi sions In the matter Is more difficult to secure than uniform divorce laws among the states or uniform trust leg islation. One long, fine road as an ob ject lesson might be worth even state co-operation for its effect upon other communities.'. If the automobile can be used to pro mote Interest In that, movement It is a good thing, but farmers are not going to Tote taxes for roads which would be practically speed courses for these ma chine wagons and on which it would be dangerous to drive their family car ryalls. Colonel Dickinson and his 'as sociation should take the racers of their - favorite machine In hand. If they could suppress those public nui sances, their good road movement would thrive better.
