Seite 52 - The parties directly benefited by a good road at this point are the city of Boston and a part of Essex County. Indirectly Chelsea and Revere receive a benefit, but it comes only through an increase in the prosperity of Boston, or on the general principle that what benefits any one town of the State must benefit the whole State. As cases similar to this frequently occur, it can readily be seen that the general welfare of the Commonwealth is affected, and it becomes a question of State policy to furnish...
Seite 80 - The whole roadway should then be rolled with a heavy roller until it becomes hard and smooth. Fine gravel will not make a good road if the travel is at all heavy. The small stones quickly crush up, and the surface of the roads becomes uneven and muddy. It is very doubtful if in a term of years a gravel road will not cost as much as a macadam road, and It can never be as enduring ; the wearing surface receives the shock of all traffic ; the materials for its construction must be carefully selected....
Seite 74 - The paving cement is best when made of ten per cent. of refined Trinidad asphalt mixed with coal-tar cement distilled at a temperature of not less than 600° F. The composition is to be used at a temperature of not lees than 300° F., determined by a gauge constantly attached to the cement tank while in use on the street. The wood pavement as above described will cost about $3.30 to $3.60 per square yard. The cost of wood pavement without concrete foundation will be about $2.50 to $2.75 per square...

Seite 85 - Turnpike. Nearly all the old turnpikes are in this condition, and as these in their present state of our public ways constitute the larger part of the important avenues of the Commonwealth, the effect of these provisions has been very detrimental. In general, the alignment of our roads with reference to natural conditions, such as the nature of the under-earth or access to construction materials, has been to a great extent neglected. The information which the commission feel it possible to give in...
Seite 55 - No just comparison can be made between these gravel roads and macadam, as at no time is the gravel road in a condition to give first-class results. From testimony given at the hearings, a two-horse load of gravel delivered on the road costs from one dollar to one dollar twenty-five cents a load of about one and a quarter cubic yards. A road made six inches in depth at this price would cost from thirteen to twenty-five cents a square yard. More or less new gravel has to be put on each year, and it...
Seite 38 - It seems out of the question to expect by the progress of public opinion to induce the towns of the Commonwealth to effect any great change in their road conditions through a material increase in taxes. Any such change, if it is to be brought about, must be attained by general enactments, or, in other words, by some method of State aid, in which the richer parts of the Commonwealth will contribute to the needs of the poorer.
