J., to prepare plans for the building at n Ftate aid road across the meadow from itio (Jrando to Holly Beach, thus tells In tiic Ctood Koa«ls Ma^axiue how the new road was coustfuct«Hl:. As we had no ihouKht of elevuthiK als>ve storm tides, the prominent Idea to lx.* kept In view was the use of ma terials that would stand the wash. The route to be followed bad l»eeu aban doned nlout tlfteen years, rrevlous to that time It bad txsm us«?d for a few years'an a means of travel to and from the Five Mile bench. When this was built aliout one half of the distance was laid crosswise with cedar slabs, the other half with small poles and then a very light coat of upland soli. As a means of securing a foundation large gum trees, with two opposite sliUrs flattened, were laid lengthwise. One was placed in the center, the other two about under the wheel ruts. Across these were laid poles alnnit three Inches in diameter at the small end, the apace between the stringers having first been filled with mnd. Over the ends of the poles at ea?h side were placed curb planks 2 by 6 Inches. These planks were securely fastened, edge up, to cedar piles driven six feet Into the meadow* and projecting four feet above the planks. These siune planks w’ere placed eight feet from the center llne^ thus giving us a sixteen foot driveway. A mud bank was carefully thrown up on each side against the outside of the planks and thoroughly compacted. The meadow grass grows through this, making it more secure. A line of mud about two feet w ide wus placed ou the inside of the plunks anil compacted, thus making an almost water tight trough. The remaining space between the curb plunks was filled with upland soli to a level with the outside plunks. Over this soil we used oyster shells, three bushels to the square yard, 27,- 000 bushels In all. . Qrer the shells be fore tliey were ground up was spread a coat of good gravel. Tills gave us an elevation of about fourteen inches above the highest meadow passed over and above tides except very severe northeast storms.- It baa been topped several times since it was completed by storm tides, but It has withstood them beyond all expectations.7*7 One mistake was made hr not giving the road more crown before the sheila were spread. I consider shells on* of the best materials that can be used on meadow roads, with just enough gravel toA>lod them together. They will thus* withstand any amount qf wash. A year ago Inst October we beggn (bq. rebuilding of tbe Bssnlqr*! Point and Ocean CMty turnpike. 1.75 miles, across salt meadow. There had t)eei\ a-mad on this same*route for about twenty years. During tliat time all but 1,600 feet of It ha^ been |>oled three times. Large trees had been cut and laid lengthwise ami [tole-i nine feet long laid across them, butting In the middle. In some places tins construc tion had settled four feet. ‘~- In constructing this road oifiy 1,875 feet were repoled. ^ This was done by placing six pine tree stringers length wise and poles nine feet long cross wise over them, butting in the middle. Wc placed a double curb plank on each side the entire length of the meadow, road In the following manner: Curb plunks 2 by 6 Inches Were placed eight feet each side of the center line, se curely fastened to cedar i>osts driven four feet Into the old roadbed. Four feet beyond this curb (outsidi) the old roadbed) w'ere placed 2 by 18 Inch curb planks, securely fastened to cedar plies, driven eight feet into the mead ow and projecting four feet above the top of the planks. The Inner ixists and outer piles were securely tied together; the f6ur foot space Iietween the curb plank was tilled with mud and thor oughly compacted by ramming and aft er settling again tilled and rammed. Before the road was finished these mud (tanks were covered with gravel, thus making a splendid bicycle path on each side. The Kpnce between the Inner curb was tilled with upland soil and after being thoroughly compacted stood four Inches In the center above the top of the Inner curb planks. These were set to grade. The road was then cov ered with 30,00!) bushels of oyster shells, spread when the bed was not too soft from rain or any other cause. Ah soou as the shells were spread a thin coat of Buck Hill yravel was spread over them. Tills was followed by a 1,1500 pound roller, making the aLclls and gravel Into one compacted mass. After the entire length had lieen covered In this manner it was again gone over with a second coat, making in all about tive luckca of loose gravel used on the shellH. , One Inch nlK»ve the top of the Inner curb plank wuh placed a codnr plank 2 by (1 Inches and fastened to the top of the posts holding tho lower curb. When the heavy storm tides sweep over the road some i)t the crown Is In danger of being carried off. These planks were plnced there as a protec tion to the exposed side and to catch what might otherwise go entirely off the road. 80 far this protecting curb has answered the purpose. In building meadow roads where It Ih not Intended to elevate above thos tides by tillingJt until all settling has l»ecn overcome the chief ‘ilm should U to use materials that will make &i solid foundation, stand the wash and at tho same time not overload th* meadow and cause It to settle. • - Fueling is worth nothing or worse than nothing unless it ibsues in dcels.
