In either case a top course of'asphalt and sand is carefully applied and rolled and this not only acts aa a binder and levels - any alight inequalities of the road - surface, but also serves to keep rain or snow water from penetrating the road structure. While the bithulitic process is more expensive, it withstands the action of the elements better in many respects than the penetration system. In the penertatlon system the stone, not having: been evenly covered with asphalt, are apt to shift when the asphalt is softened by the heat of the sun or is contracted by extreme cold, thus causing breaks and unevenness in the roadbed.

The good roads question Is one which the road is not only to provide a good

today is occupying the attention of ev- highway where ,H is badly needed, but

also to work out in a practical way a problem that will, if successful, revolutionize the building of roads in the United States. The problem is how can

a free country road be built to make it pay its original cost, cost of maintenance and a fair return onhe money invested."

fry thinking man in the United States,

This question does not affect alone the farmer or automobili-st, but is one . which is of vital importance to all of

; tis, owing to the fact that every x- . tension of the good roads movement and the completion of every new artery has resulted not only in a greater production of foodstuffs in that particular section, but has cheapened them on account of the small cost of getting them into the market. Although at the present time there are between 15.000 and 20,000 miles of - improved roads in the United States, either under construction or proposed, " no section of roads is receiving the careful investigation or is being watched as closely by the road makers of the country) and by good roads advocates as is the 106-mlle road which Gen. T. Coleman duPont is constructing at his own expense through the state of Deli aware. Gen. duPont felt that any amount of . money which he might give for a road would he of far greater benefit and would have a far greater influence on the happiness and material prosperity or the people of his state than any other project he might select. To quote ' ills own words: "My object in building

The solution of this problem as workhis experience on the Delaware road. Is a system of graduated assessments, so rranged that all who receive direct benefits from the road are to bear their share of its expense, at the outset, and will later be recompensed by rentals of the unused portion of the road itselfSuppose, for instance, that this Delaware road was being constructed by

this method, instead of being given by

Gen. duPont. On the duPont road some 26 acres of land have been condemned for every mile of road. ' Revenue from the road will be partially derived from trolley franchises, from wa

ter, telephone, telegraph and sewer

right of way rentals and partially from the rental of that part of the 26 acre

per mile, wffBh is not used for actual

road construction.

As laid out, the duPont road consists

of some seven parts, although not all

of them will te developed immediately,!

the idea being to increase the sise of the road as the traffic becomes heavier. When completed the road will consist of a forty-foot strip in the middle, which will be given over to automobiles, and on either side of this fortyfoot strip, a fifteen-foot strip, which has been reserved for trolley lines. Beyond the trolley lines there will be thirtyfoot roads for horse drawn vehicles and heavy traffic. Adjoining each of these last named roads will be dirt roads, fifteen feet wide, under which will be laid water pipes, sewers, telephone and telegraph conduits, etc., thus eliminating any, necessity for tearing up the paved portion of the road. As will be seen, the total acreage utilized for the road, in spite of the magnificent width and arrangement, will not come near taking up the 6 acres res'erved, and It. is from this remainder that it is expected considerable revenue for road maintenance can be derived. Gen. duPont has conceived several

other features, which he Intends to put

through, and which wjll be of great

value to the state. One of them is. the

foundation of several agricultural ex

periment stations, In charge of trained men, which will be maintained by the

revenue of thf road. At these experi

mental stations it is proposed to work

out carefully the special problems of each individual section of the state and thus b able to advise the farmers in

such a way as to increase their mate rial prosoerity. Gen. duPont also intends to set mon

umentg one thousand feet apart, along

the whole length of the road, these points being established so accurately

that they can serve as "base points' in any futre surveys of the state!

In the actual construction of the road many experiements are being tried, which will be exceedingly useful

for reference purposes and for the

guidance of future road makers. Al

though different systems of road con

struction have been experimented upon It is probable that either the bithulitlc

or penetration system will be used. Both of these systems are allko at the beginning, th basis of both being a con

crete foundation about six inches deep,

which is laid after the road has been

properly graded and drained. In the

bithulitic process the top dressing.

which is rolled until three or four

inches thick, Is composed of crushed

stone which has been thoroughly coated

with asphalt by being run through

mixing machine. Tn the penetration process the crushed stone is graded over the foundation and melted asphalt
