Itc COTTON ROADS ARE BEING COMPLETED ! 410 Miles of Cotton Roads Completed or Being 1 Constructed More than 400 miles of cotton re-enforced bituminous surfaced roads will have been completed in ten states before snow flies, ac-; cording to reports reaching the Cotton Textile Institute from state highway departments. Completion of the roads for which the cotton fabric, used as a reinforcing mem brane between the top surface and base, was furnished gratis to the states by the federal government, will insure, the institute points out. a broad scale demonstration of the practicability of such roads under varying extremes of winter weath er and traffic. Construction of another 50 miles originally scheduled for completion this fall in Arizona, Washington, Maine, Florida and Georgia has been postponed until next spring because of late deliv°rv of the fab ric, which was purchrsed by the Department of Agriculture under a $1,300,000 allocation to finance a nation-wide demonstration of the new construction method, now counted on to open up a future new market for hundreds of thou sands of bales of cotton annually. Each mile of cotton road utilizes from eight to ten bales of cotton in the form of reinforcing fabric. First employed in South Caro lina in 1926, and sponsored active ly since by the institute, the cot ton road technique involves no de parture from standard bituminous surfaced road construction meth ods, and is widely regarded by highway engineers as an almost ideal type of construction for the secondary road systems. The re inforcing membrane, preventing rippling and raveling of the top surface and providing a water proof seal between surface and base, is credited by highway de partments of states which built experimental projects during the past ten years, with substantial economies in maintenance.
