It Ie desirable that all heavy traf-
fic roads should be macadamized or
gravelled, wherever the materials
are available for the purpose. In or-
der to give tut object lesson on the
value of such roads, and the proper
manner to build them, the Good
hoods Train war employed to build a
model etretch of stone road from a
third to a half a mile in extent, In
each of ten counties, and to roll and
grade an additional stretch. The sel-
ection of the various etretchee of
road was left wittt the County Coun-
cils, with the understanding that the
Township Councils should furnleh all
the necessary atone, teams, laborers,
etc. Owing to the heavy expeuae in-
earret, each County Council was
arrked to make a greet of $100 for
each stretch of road built,
In building these sample roads, the
first thing le to protide the requis-
ite drainage, which le the fundamen-
tal principle of road makttg. The
roadbed to then shaped with
the grader, making the centre con-
siderably higher than the sIdea so
that the water will readily run oft

still finer stone as a dressing. This
last layer helps to

crowded towards the centre. When
the rolling of the sample stretch is
completed, the stone should be about
801811 inches deep, which is sufficient
to stand ordinary traffic. troch a
road may heave to a alight extent
in some localities, but the expense
of keeping It in repair will be much
less than for an ordinary clay road.

The number of cords of stone re-
