-Improvements to the county
ad system are more necessary
• than ever, Peter Patterson, coun-
ty engineer, told' Huron County
•.Qouncil Thursday. The county
road system, was established in
1917 -
Mr. Patterson's report follows:
By -Law No. 7, 1917, of the Coun-
ty of Huron, established a County
Road System. After 39 years of
'constructing and maintaining
county roads, the need for im-
• provements is greater than ever.
As has been indicated previously,
at our present rate of providing
these improvements, it will require
a period of time almost twice as
great as the present age of our
county road system. It becomes
quite apparent that much desired
construction and paving of „a spe-
cific county road may he, not just
a few, but many years in the fu-
ture.
The relative importance of coun-
ty roads is increasing. The bi-
creased demands on our roads
force a change in some of our con-
struction practices. In particular,
the practice of road -mix may have
to be amended. This does not
mean that the use of road -mix will
be abolished. However, it • may be
found expedient to apply hot -mix
wearing surfaces on base courses
of road -mix_ ' '
The bitumen used in road-mixea
is a cut-back asphalt. The cut-
back is a volatile liquid, such as
gasoline, which is added to the
asphalt cement base material pro-
ducing a liquid asphalt with 4- rea-
sonably low working. temperature.
When a portion of road is road -
mixed, stability is very low during
the first year due to the presence
of a relatively high percentage of
cut-back. After six to eight years,
the cut-back is almost completely
evaporated and the pavement as-
krines the characteristics of a hot -
mix pavement. During the period
of time the cut-back is evaporat-
ing, the road -mix is quite flexible
and, if laid on a new grade, settle-
ments that do occur cause surface
cracks. Also, after a four-year
period, base settlements are com-
plete and further surface distor-
tion is unlikely unless caused, by
base failure. Then would be the
time to apply the hot -mix wearing
surfa,ees. It may prove expedient
to consider the acquisition of a
bot-tnix plant some four or five
years hence.
There is every indication that
the steel shortage will hamper our
bridge and culvert program in the
coming year. During , 1955, the
