8 Two Economical Methods De
• scribed by an Expert.
• j
VERY LITTLE SAND NEECLD.
1
a Screened Gravel Is the Most Suitab'e
Materiel to Use—Winter Treatment
Considered the Cheaper—Advice on
the Mending of Highways.
Keirreaenlative William W. (’oi ks of
l Long Island, who tins built several
' gravel roads and lias found them very
n satisfactory, tells Imw they can be con
. structed economically.
“To the minds of m**st people," lie
f says, "when we speak of a gravel
u road comes the idea of coarse sand,
such as 1 liey have seen dumped on ihc
’ road from time to time and friipiintiy
1 la such ipiaiilities that it did not mix
> properly with the loam, and hence
. there was a soft, sandy road, which is
ilie worst load in the world for haul
ing heavy loads over. What 1 nie.-ci
(. by a gravel mad Is screened gravel or
gravel tliai may he found in some
banks that would he suitable for road
1 construction without screening. Inn it
|- should not contain over 10 per cent oi
sand in most instances unless one
were to use a very thin coal and o’ ei
* a road thai was of very deep loam.
I when it would he well enough to allow
i a little larger percentage of sand, hill
otherwise I prefer it to carry as little
sand as possible.
"There are two methods In which
this kind of mad could be constructed
’ One Is by the formation of a treti-h.
| treating il very much as we do a r ani
I for macadam and then pulling in the
gravel about eight Inches deep mixed
| wilh a little loam or clay, and I tic
llei e that aoxv il would he wise to put
[ some tar on the top course, in Ilie
i construction of this road I would lay
[ il in two courses, provided I were go
ing to use tar in the upper course |
| There would he some dill! ult.v In gel
ling a gravel road to pa k if ii were
( | laid hi eight Inches thick, and it should
j he done in the w inter lime unless one
■ r~ izzz
p ***
A IIRAVEI, aovn.
I From Good Itoiuls .Magazine. .New fork.)
,' expects to haul a good deal of water
1 and use a roller, lty far the most ecu
| uoinii .nl way to build a gravel road is
j to spread about two inches on the or
j (Hilary surface of a road that has been
| previously cleared of all dead and j
worn out material that would never
, i pack again and i lieu plow ihc road
jand pul the gravel on about tft fee or
j four Inches deep and just allow the
: traffle to work It in and have a man
j Continuously along the load for two
I or three weeks with a rake to till in
| the ruts and pick out any of the too
large gravel stones, as tln- top surface
should contain no stones larger than a
I hickory uni.
i “Another method of constructing
(Ills rigid which would lie still more
1 economical would he to spread the 1
gravel on in November or liecember
1 Spread il over the road about two or
J three inches deep and repeat during
I the winter as the truffle works it into
j the mud 1 am assuming now that
; we have a road that would get muddy
\ In the winter time and one that would
have a clay or loam bottom or a bug*
: percentage oMoam. If we are to deal
with a sandy road it will be invessary
to put a considerable percentage of ,
i clay or loam with tin* sand prior to j
; the spreading of the gravel. 1 have
hid It unite a number ~f pieces of road
tu this manner, by putting tlie gravel
ini during the winter, and they have
been very satisfactory
"One of the greatest difficulties with
a great many people In mending roads,
la my Judgment. Is that they endeavor
to patch up the road instead of plow
mg It up and letting the whole mass
settle at once Some people have an ;
; Idea that traffle will make a road level
Truffle will mash down some lumps
and some of the coarse grave’, hut if
the material I* not evenly spread ot
the road not properly graded when It
is constructed it will grow worso—tliat
j Is. more uneven as time goes nu. It is
time well spent in the grading of a ,
new road to go over it innumerable
time* with a road uiaeltiue iu order j
that the grade may be made perfect in
the beginning, and I know of a great j
many roads In Nassau and Suffolk
counties. New York, now which, if they
could lie plowed up and have a little
sand put In some places and a little
loam lu others, theu he thoroughly
graded with a road machine and have
a little gravel added during the winter,
would ts' good all the year round for
wagons or automobiles, and if they
j were oiled they could he rend rial just
t a* dust prviof as a macadam road."
