IMPROVED ROADS i < 'rw***#**##* *<->«*»#« o*. 4 COST OF GRADING HIGHWAYS Great Variation In Conditions In Different Sections of Country Is Noted in Data (PrepsrsS toy th* Uolti-d statu p»a»rtm«nt «t Agrivulture.) A great vurlaUou iu the conditions tinder Htilch grading for highways is done in different sections us the I tilled States is reflected in cost data rumpiled by the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, on 1.85 U miles of federal aid road. The figures cover the four-year period 1917-1821 and are based on a total of 245* million yards.of earth. For the groups of states the average price per cubic yurd is as follows: New England and Middle Atlantic states, $1.33; East North Osntrai, $0.68; West North Central. $0.49; South Atlantic, $0.01; East South Central, $0.41; West South Central. $0.35; Mountain, $0.52; aud Pacific states, $0.61. The general average price was $0.56. Probably the most important factor affecting the cost was the amount of grading to be done per mile, the quantity being v.ery small in the groups having the highest prices. In general it Is noticed that where mostly old roads are rebuilt, the light work and tearing up the old pavement greatly affected the cost. The amount of tine grading or trimming required for the higher types of pavement was also a factor, labor casts, character of soil to be | IJiT l I • Gaeollne Bill la Smaller When Cars Are Run Over Cement Concrete Roads. graded, climatic conditions, time limit on eoutracta, and cost of detours for traffic also affected the cost. While each group of states did not have the same volume of grading each year, and therefore the average figure for the whole country is not truly representative, it is interesting to note that the average cost of grading gra lualiy rose from $0.49 in the first quarter of 1917 to $0.67 in the fourth quarter of 1919, and then gradually declined to $0.34 in the third quarter of 1921. It is probable that the later figure would be somewhat higher had all of the states let work in that quarter. WIDER HIGHWAYS ADVOCATED Experts Urge Importance of Adopting 20 Feet as Standard Width of I Improved Roads. Experts have been urging upon the American good roads congress the Importance of adopting 20 feet as the standard width of paved roadways. They hold that In the end the wider road will cost no more than the harrow track. Some of them even say that a width In excess of 20 feet may prove economical in the end because a wider road secures a more even distribution of the traffic, there Is less rutting, and smaller danger exists of damaging the shoulders of the road by running off the [lavement. An ultimate width of 150 feet is urged in approaches to huge centers where the traffic is exceedingly heavy. A variation in the width of the highway to accommodate different densities of travel will be worked out In time. The claim that 2'l feet should be the minimum whenever the traffic reaches 1,000 vehicles a fifty is one of the interesting developments of modem road building. BENEFITS OF BETTER ROADS — Farmer and Family Enabled to Enjoy Advantages of City Life, Including Amusements. The motor and better roads are bringing to the farmer and his family the outside world; the city, and its u Ivnntages—the theater, the concert, the “silent drama” of the movie, and the countless means for relaxation which the city affords. The enforced seclusion of the past, with Its danger to health. Boost Highway Through lowa. . Cities and towns in lowa are being awakened to the necessity of good roads, and plans for paving the Lin coin way as well as the Grant highway in that state, greatly helping Illinois motorists who travel west, are tinder way. Fine for Overloading. i New York state has established a fine of SSO or a month In Jail as the minimum penalty for the first offense In using overloaded trucks on the public highway.
