WORRIED ABOUT JERSEY ROAD
Commission Asks Questions About D«-
terioration of State Highways.
The commission on road legislation
of New Jersey has addressed a series
of questions to engineers, contractors,
manufacturers and other individuals
throughout the state requesting their
opinions upon this best course to be
taken to redeem New Jersey’s system
of roads, which are said to be rapidly
going to pieces.
‘‘The construction of much needed
new roads Is coming to a standstill,”
says the commission. “The mainte
nance of old roads even at enormous
expense is not keeping pace with the
ilaily wear and tear of travel.” Then
the commission asks, among othw
questions:
“Does the fault lie with a tangled
mass of unintelligible road law«?
“Are we struggling hopelessly to ad
minister the road laws in township,
country and state by numerous unde
fined and varied types of roads organi
zations?
“Are we building and maintaining
our roads by unsound or unbusinesslike
measures of finance?
“Should we limit the traffic on high
ways as to the weight of vehicles and
load, and if so what should be the
limit and should we make regulations
as to the width of tires?”
The Koreans love medicine. The rich
take pills of incredible size and richly
gilded.

THE OIUNG OF
EARTH ROADS
Unless j^oper Methods Are
Used Rfisuit Is Unsatisfictory.
PURPOSE TO SUPPRESS OUST
Nearly 89 Per Cent of Roade Through
out the United States Are Earth
Roads, and How to Grade, Drain and
Maintain These Highwaye Is an Im
portant Problem.
There are 2,333,000 miles of public
roads In the United States, of which
only 262,400 miles have any kind of
surfacing. In other words, aearly 89
per cent of our roa^ are earth roads,
and it wlDi be a quarter of a century,
probably, before this percentage is re
duced to 75. The great road problem
of the Unit€^ States is to grade, drain
and maintain these roads so as to make
them of the best practical use at a
minimum annual expense. Some prog
ress along these lines is evident, and
in some sections very satisfactory
earth roads have been built and are
maintained, in good condition, except
for a few weeks in spring, by intelli
gent dragging. Another method of
maintenance, originating in California,
is now being tried with more or less
success in a number of the central
states. This Is oiling the roads. Its
“purpose is to suppress dust, for in so
doing the road surface will remain
smooth longer than when the road Is-
dusty, and there is less mud formed
iu wet weather. But oiling ro^s has
to be done intelligently or it will make
conditions worse instead of better.
It is useless to oil an earth road
which is not thoroughly drained and
properly graded. It is a waste of mon
ey to oil a road which does not have a
smooth, hard surface free from dust.
If the surface is uneven, oil collects in
shallow depressions and softens the
surface so that after the first heavy
rain the travel tends to make mudholes
at these places. If there is dust on
the road the oil combines with the
dust to form a sort of mat, which the
travel over it quickly breaks up Into
large fiakes or scales. If the road is
in proper condition to receive the oil
and the right kind of oil is used the
oil percolates into the pores of the
earth for a depth of several inches,
sealing them with an asphaltic binding
material which unites the surface into a
tougher mass than the original surface.
The oil cannot make the road any
harder, for only stone or gravel will
accomplish that, but it will prevent the
displacement of the earth particles un
der any loads which an earth road Is
adapted to carry. If the oiled surface
is immediately covered with a thin
layer of clean, hard sand, the travel
will not disturb the oil, and the trav
elers will suffer less inconvenience.
The right kind of oil should be used,
for there are some kinds which act as
lubricants and ruin a road instead of
improving it This kind of mainte
nance of earth roads is proving so suc
cessful in the central states that the
Illinois state highway commission has
recently* issued for free distribution an
illustrated bulletin telling how to do
It and what things to avoid doing.
