Never Again (he High-Priced Country Road. After paying an average price of $14,000 a mile for 180 miles of concrete roads, Maryland has departed from what is termed the standard concrete road and in some cases has reduced construction cost to about $8,500 a mile, this having been done with the conviction that the cheaper roads will laAt indefinitely if given a bituminous wearing surface. Thus the state has taken a long step toward restricting concrete to foundation purposes exclusively. Had the more recent . Maryland roads been built with the latter purpose in view and provided with a two-inch wearing surface of asphalt macadam, there would have resulted the type of road Monroe county, Mich., is building for less than $12,000 a mile, the Michigan road having concrete curbs as well as a five-inch concrete foundation.

The radical change in Maryland’s policy, the building of hundreds of miles of bituminous top roads on concrete bases in California and the adoption of the greatly improved type in Michigan, all presage the decline of country roads costing from $15,000 to $20,000 a mile. These prices are prohibitive in many localities, but when the materials that distinguish our present separate and costly type of roads can be so combined as to give better service at a saving of $2,000 to $5,000 a mile, we obtain what may well be called the American standard road. A natural asphalt and good stone make an ideal and resilient wearing surface, and the concrete provides an unyielding foundation. It having been demonstrated that this composite type of road can be built for $12,000 or less per mile, the taxpayers are certain to adopt it once its true merit and economy are understood. —Good Roads Press Bulletin.
