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 104 - ... of the said contractor, he shall certify the same to the said part of the second part, who shall pay the contractor, within thirty days after receiving said certificate, the amount that may be due, excepting therefrom such sum or sums as may be lawfully retained to protect said part of the second part from liens or attachment ; that nothing herein contained shall...
Seite 55 - No exact information was to be had, but a fairly accurate estimate has been made from the quantity of material used, the length of haul and cost of labor and teams ; this we find to be fifteen cents a square yard for first cost, with renewal in about five years, or three cents a square yard annually. A good macadam road can be constructed for sixty cents a square yard ; taking into consideration the small amount of travel, and that the road is estimated to last twenty years with hardly any repairs,...
Seite 7 - The statistics of this country show an ever-increasing tendency on the part of our people to gather into the cities. Although this relative gain in the...
Seite 77 - Water may reach a roadway either by falling as rain directly upon it, by flowing upon it from either side, or by lateral soakage through the ground. Rain falling directly on the surface will do little or no harm to a well-constructed road, but if it be allowed to attain to and remain in the foundation the road will soon be destroyed. There are two rules which must be observed in order to maintain a road in good condition : first, take the water out; second, keep the water out.
Seite 23 - It may be well, however, to make some few statements concerning the fitness of these materials for road making, and the circumstances of their occurrence. In general, it may be said that, for purposes of road construction, a rock should be at once hard, tough, resistant to the ordinary agents of decay, yet easily broken into bits by the road hammer, or its modern equivalent, the crushing engine. When fractured, the fragments of stone must not have smooth faces ; they should on the contrary have very...
Seite 52 - ... in the hill or clay districts it is rarely the case that the surfacing has much exceeded one-half the entire cost. As the work progresses, it should be done at a lower average cost, and a study of the tables in the reports of other states will show that this is precisely what has taken place there. There is an almost entire lack of any records as to cost of constructing the roads of the poorer class in all parts of the State. A discussion of the comparative cost between well-constructed roads...
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.
