For surfacing we-have estimated alt gravel, all broken stone, or part broken stone-surfaced with gravel. COST. We liarne estimated that ail gravel fourteen inches In the center and ten inches at tite- side la equivalent to Macadam ten Inches in the center and eight Inches at the side, or six tnclies of broken stone at) the bottom arid gravel on top six iuehes in the center and two Inches at the side- Gravel to be placed on the right side of the road bed. four feet from the outer edge of the grade- coming toward the-town of Rensselaer, tothecarporatiun UrieolsaicLtown-.

The difference we make In gravrimg er macadamizing Is based on our knowledge of where material can be hail and what ft will cost to place the same upon the road. Our estimate is based on good material either gravel or broken stone. If gravel Is used the larger partioles should lie evenly lakl In the bottom and the gravel should all be free from hlft.soti or quicksand, If macadam is used it should be so arranged tlmt the larger broken stone shall, be in the bottom aud the smaller ones on the surface. If macadam be covered with gravel the macadam should be first placed and the gravel pat ou top, to the depth indicated in the specifications. REMARKS. we file with this our report a profile and specifications for the use of bidders and supeatotoulents to which, cefereuee is had, for farther information.
