S' iMmUVEO ROAD MOV EM EN I. Importance Said to Bo Recognized by 0 K. s r. On* of tho drawbacks to tbc prof- reaa of rural derelopmcat Is bad roads. Tbls fact la becomlof generally recognized, aod in nearly every state in tbs' Union there is manifested a tend ency to remedy this evil by state appro priations for the establishment of good public highways, sa/^tbe Architects and Builders* Journal. Among oo class of people is the need of good roads realised better than by the farmers and others engaged la agricultural pursuits. . Until within recent years tbeae same people oppoeed the Idea of the state Issuing, boqds to raise money for this purpose, for by s false conception of economy they reasoned that the coet of modern Improved highways would mean an increeae of tales. Since, however, they bare bad prac tical demonstrations of the advantages of good roada by the saving they afford la time and the wear aod tear of bones and vehicles, no class of (wople Is more enthusiastic In tbelr advocacy. It is POt the farmer alone who Is benefited by the building of good roads. Others who for business or pleasure find It necessary to travel by public highways from city to city or from town to town appreciate the advantage of a smooth, solid roadbed Uke the railroad, these viaducts are an Incentive to derelop- ment and it la demonstrable that wher ever good roada have been established that section hat developed In material proapertty and the value of property baa enhanced Tbla la particularly true of the suburbs of large cities. Improved roada have proved them selves to be an attractive luceutlve to ■rbanitea to purchaae lots and erect dwellings. Moders demands In this re spect have enliated the attention of read engineers who have devoted tbelr tboufcbt and aklll In the construction of these highway*, and they are bultt from scientific plana Instead of by the haphazard *y*lcn» which formerly pre vailed and which was Invariably at tended by unaatlafactory ruauiU. The Introduction of Improved macadam and bttullthtc paving has done much to popularise modern raids Properly laid, they are durable and satisfactory. Eco nomically conaldeivd. their cost U mon ey well Invested, as the relative relief from wear and tear, the facilitation of travel and the lamefit resulting to pros* Unate property more than compensate for the original outlay. OIL TO LAY DUST. Cleveland Park Officials Belisve It Is Cheeper Than Water. Hundreds of gallons of crude oil will be used by Cleveland. O., the coming summer In laying the dust on the boa ter arda and park roada It has been decided by park officials that oil for dust laying purposes Is cheaper than water. Experiments were conducted last summer by Su perintendent Starke aod Park Engi neer Stinclicomb. and it was announced recently that the crude oil composi tion would lw used this season In place of water for sprinkling purposes. A oompoultiou of crude oil and soap Is used, and this Is diluted with water. At first the proportion of the crude oil mixture Is great, but after a coating forma on the roadways It is necessary to use hut a small amount In the wa ter. and the necessity for sprinkling utao lieoomes less and leaa. A well ouated roadway will tie sprinkled but once In two weeks at the height of tlie aunimer season after the system Is In force. “The use of oil will be a great labor saver,** said Superintendent Starke. “We will n*t need nearly so many men and teams."
