Today, when n community Is looked
upon aa decidedly behind the times and
blind to Its own Interests If It does not
have the best roads that It can afford,
and when It looks beyond the first
cost In deciding this question It
should make an effort to have the
most prominent features In harmony,
it should consider the beauty of its
highway bridges as an Important ad
junct lo Its "good roads movement,"
writes Professor Mason, consulting en
gineer, In Good ltonds Magazine.
Most of us have unfortunately come
to consider beauty as a luxury, and
generally an expensive one. Hence,

when a beautiful bridge Is suggested
we take alarm at the cost and are apt
to decide offhand thnt the older type
without Its good appearance is well
enough.
This Is a phase of the subject thut Is
very pertinent, whether It should be de
plored or uot. It Is only by reason of
this careful consideration of cost that
our country Is able to compete with
European countries In the construction
of bridges in foreign dependencies. It
has been said that any fool could build
a bridge If lie had money enough, hut
It takes nu engineer to do it econom
ically.
This matter of cost lias compelled us
to limit the construction of stone urcli
bridges lo a very small number and to
put In (heir place a metal truss of
straight lines and sharp angles. It is
not that we have failed to appreciate
the beauty of the curved arches, but
rather (lint we could not afford the lux
ury win'll we needed so many of them.

Rock to the works of the reducing
company In Geddes, Onondaga county.
N. Y„ Is about four and one-half miles.
Three or four years ago the work of
improving tills four and ouo-hnlf miles
of roadway was accomplished. Rough
quarry refuse and for a part of the
distance field stones were used, all
hand broken to two and three inch
sixes. Tills was covered with fine, un
sifted quarry chips, and a crown was
given to the roadway with an elevation
of about six Inches In a width of six
teen feet. Wagons were built for haul
ing stone over tills road with wide
tires and axles of different length, as
follows: Front tire, seven-eighths of an
Inch thick and four Inches wide; dis
tance between editors of front wheels,
four feet five Inches; the rear wheels
had tires one Inch thick and six Inches
wide, the distance between center of
rear wheels being five feet eight Inches.
The axles were two and one-half Inches
front and three Inches rear.
The constant use of these wagons
during the las! three years has produc
ed a smooth, compact and regular sur
face between the quarry and the
works. The wide tires and varying
gauges excited much attention nt first,
and conflicting opinions regarding their
utility were expressed. The result Is
eminently In their favor, and n general
sentiment supports the use of these
wagons for heavy loads. Loads of
stone varying from 8,000 to 10,000
pounds are continuously hauled over
this road with no perceptible weur.
The cost per ton of hauling stone has
been reduced from SO cents to 00 cents,
and a team can easily earn from $3.50
lo $4 per day hauling wull stone, mak
ing (wo round trips of nine miles each,
or a total of eighteen miles per day.

of how the Swedish government aud
congress gave their aid and support In
building good roads, said that the
means for building roads were appro

estimating the cost and partly for the
construction of the roads.
•‘The means aro distributed by the

of the compression and to so design the
whole that there will he a sufficient 1
amount of each material and yet no ,

When one Is considering the construc
tion of a bridge several points should :
be considered:
First.— That It shall answer the util
itarian purpose for which It Is wanted.
Second.—It should be a monument to
the progressive Ideas of the community
and serve as an education and an in
spiration to others.
Third.—It should be built for the fu
ture as well as the present, and Its per
manence should be nssured.
These can all be met by the use of
steel concrete.
One of the difficulties In the design
of a steel truss is so to arrange the de
tail as to afford ready access to all
the parts for painting. And with the
best this is Impossible where two
pieces come into contact. This trouble
does not exist with the steel-concrete
bridge. The steel is not painted and
hence can he readily inspected. It is
entirely Imbedded in concrete, which
has been proved to be a perfect pro
tection to the steel. Unpainted steel
has been found imbedded in concrete

Just What Everyone Should Do.
Mr. J.T. Barber, of Jrwinville, On.,

time to hunt a doctor or go to tlie store
for medicine. Mr. Barber says: “I
have fried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy which is one of
tlie best medicines I ever saw. I keep a
bottle of it iu my room as I have had
several attacks of colic and it bus proved
to be the best medicine I ever use,l.”
