DEFECTS IN OHIO BRICK ROADS COULD BE OVERCOME IN WAYNE

Three typs of road, two of which are under consideration for Wayne county's road program embracing the building of thirty miles of hard-sur-faced main market highways, and the third of which is similar to the bituminous macadam that has been so exploited here, are the subjects of

several tables and analyses of maintenance costs in the Ohio State High; "way Commission's 1916 and 1917 re-' ports. . :- The third type is bituminous concrete, a much sturdier road and less liable to go to pieces than the bituminous macadam. "Bituminous macadam Is not comparable to brick or concrete," says Chief Engineer H. K. Bishop of the new Indiana State Highway Commission. "Bituminous concrete is more comparable to brick and concrete." Bituminous Macadam Eliminated Although bituminous macadam has practically been eliminated from the possibilities for Wayne county roads because of the vigorous protests against its use "by the petitioners for the Hagerstown road before the commissioners last Monday, the figures on the maintenance of bituminous concrete are interesting, as moreover, cur own chief state engineer considers

it a sturdier type of road than bituminous macadam. In 1916 the total bituminous concrete road given in the report of the commission is slightly under a mile, and there was no maintenance report made. During the next year, however, the total mileage of this type of road is given at 26.77 miles. It is evident that almost twenty-six miles of it were built between the two years, and that thi3 twenty-six miles were at the most only a year old. Under these conditions any road shojild show a practically negligible cost of maintenance and repair. Yet what do these new bituminous concrete roads, less than a year old, show? Costs $156 Per Mile The total cost of maintenance on the twenty-six miles Is $4,157, or an overage of $156 per mile for maintenance alone. Of this sum. $71 was

spent on re-surfacing. The commlstion reports also that the bituminous concrete pavement is especially susceptible to being plucked out by the wheels of passing vehicles and the hoofs of horses. Yet the new type of pavement which must withstand the strain and shove of the whels of hundreds of heavy trucks and of high-powered fast-driving automobiles, must be especially strong of surface and able to bear these strains without ruin. It is these very stresses to which bituminous concrete and bituminous macadam are most susceptible. Therefore it is beyond doubt that this tremendous first-year cost of mainten-

this work in maintenance was filling

cracks in the surface, "truing up

slabs of the concrete which had risen until they projected severs inches

above the neighboring slabs, and in

other surface repair work arising from

defects inherent in this type of con

struction itself. In 1917, 288 miles of

concrete cost the state $90 a mile for

surface repair, and a total of $244 a

mile. Brick Road Sometimes Defective

Brick roads, measuring in 1916, 381

miles, cost an average of $105 for surface work and S280 for the total

per mile. In 1917, 456 miles of this

type cost $182 a mile for surface repair and a total of $463 a mile. At first sight these figures seem disproportionately large, compared to those

of the concrete.

But the repairs to brick highways were made because of three serious

troubles due to defective building of

the roads, and which would be elimin

ated in a well-built road, such as Wayne county would be careful to

get.:-

The first of the three sources of

cost, due to defective building in

stead of defects in the brick type of

pavement itself, was the rebuilding

of short stretches due to bad founda

tions, a fault which with proper care wil lnot occur in a modern brick road. The second was the taking up and

relaying of small areas, due to de

fects in the brick, and especially In the grout filler and the sand cushion, when dirt, or sometimes the plain said, was forced up between the individual brick. The third defect was the taking up or rebuilding of transverse expansion joints, a type of joint which was very popular in Ohio in the early days of her state road system, and has proved a serious weakness whereever it was used another error which Wayne county would be careful to avoid.

The fourth cause only, the one to which almost the total cost of- concrete repair was attributed, is the only one which is Inherent in brick pavement as well as concrete; that is, the spreading of cracks across the surface. The filling of these cracks with tarvia and stone mixture was the source of only one item of expense out of four in the brick pavement, while in the concrete it was alBrick Oldest of 3 Types Brick Oldest cf 3 Typtes. Another reason which would tend to reduce the difference between brick and concrete maintenance costs, is that brick is by far the oldest of the three types of roads. Brick roads were put down in the central west before people ever thought of concrete. In Richmond for instance,

the oldest stretch of brick was laid

the Conkey Drug Co. in Richmond and most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitrophosphate should produce a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. Increase in weight also carries with It a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly alwlays accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who was once thin and frail, reporting her own experience, writes: "BitroPfcosphate has brought about a magic transformation with me. I gained 15 pounds and never before felt so well." CAUTION: Although bitro-phos-

phate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness. It should not, owing to its

tendency to Increase weight, be used by anyone who does not desire to pu on flesh. Adv.
