Our estimate Is based on good material either of gravel or broken stone. If gravel Is used the larger nartlcles should be evenly laid In tho bottom and the gravel should all lie free from ilirt, soil or quicksand, if macadam is used it should lie so arranged that the larger broken stone shall be in the bottom and the smaller on the surface. If macadam be covered with gravel the macadam should first he placed on the surface and afterwards the gravel hauled thereon to the depth as indicated In tho speeirfeations. REMARKS.
