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."
