This mon ley can come frenp only one spurce—the taxpayers. .ji’ When automobiles demanded hard surfaced hieb^ays, mil linos of dollars were wasted in experfhoentiin^ with new* types of paving In all ^w move ments, this experitnental pro cess is unavoidable. .. ^ Pavements have, nbw . ‘been so welt tested that taxpayers money should not be expended for experimental work on public highways. Sheet asphalt, aS pbaltic concrete and ‘ concrete highways have all demdnstratSd their advantages under, conditions. The modern tractor, in\3Son juDCtioD with heavy road ma chinery, has made it possible " to prepare old gravel and macadam roads SOJ}hat they can be used as a bass for a moderately thick covering of asphaltic concrete, at a moderate expense per mile.
