S., D Office of Public Roads, who has ? ~ X * _ B aL ? II charge of the administration 01 uie .. federal aid road law. They asaem- " bled in order to bring about greater c uniformity in the requirements for 5 the materials used in road building rj and maintenance. At present there r are unnecessary variations in these " requirements, which place a useless c< burden on their producers, increase a their cost in some cases and render ^ difflonif ATinlv. th? exnerience gained in one state to the problems a of another. , It is unwise to carry standardiza- 0 tion in road work beyond the point * where conditions governing the se- 11 lection of materials are uniform, P for local differences exist which P ?? j? ?VI- 4-Via 13 mane it uaurauie w icituuc *vi ?~v same type of road materials differ- ? ing in some respects. By means of ~ conference it has been possible to separate the features where there * should be general agreement from " those in which local conditions make 1 it desirable to permit some latitude. The results are considered of great a value, not only in enabling the U. S. " Office of Public Roads to cooperate ' most closely with the various states J through an intimate understanding a of their special needs, but also in t establishing greater uniformity in * the road work done in the different c states. i There are a number of organisa- J tions which have been devoting at- t tention to standard specifications t for road materials, and the confer- ! ence adopted their standards when ?< they were considered reasonably c satisfactory. In the recommenda- 1 , of the conference, the tests which I Busffi< Wag New shipmi for immedia Summer Tyson & Durham BUG f, Owensbi Chase C WA( ? t ?and other W.A. ere considered really necessary in rder tc show whether materials are atisfactory have been included, at no others. A large number of ists of road materials have been roposed but the number adopted y the conference is comparatively mall. Moreover, the conference as not, as a rule, recommended liming values for specific tests, beause no one set of limits can be sed satisfactorily in all parts of no Knnntrr WVmf has been done is 5 bring standardization of materils up to the limits where it ceases 3 be desirable, and then to standrdize the methods of testing and of eporting the results of tests where ifferent requirements must be dopted to meet local conditions. Other conferences will be called y the U. S. Office of Public Roads s a part of its program for becom1 g thoroughly familiar with the ractice of different states in road uilding and for developing uniform7 high standards for highway work throughout the country. Airangelents for printing the recommendaions of the first conference have lready been made by DiredWr Page i order that they may be available or road officials as early as possible.
