CONCRETE ON THE ROADS. CONCRETE FOR BRIDGES. Full Particulars of a Most Welcome Innovation, as supplied in a Pamphlet issued byWilson's Portland Cement Co. Auckland. (Continued from last week and to be continued weekly). AMERICAN EXAMPLES. Address by Edward N. Hines,. Chairman Board of County Road Commissioners, Wayne County, Michigan, before the National Conferense on Concrete Roid Building, Chicago, 1914 :— Our concrete roads offer the best service 365 days in the year for all types of vehicles. They aie not slippery in wet weather, nor are they dusty in ilry weather. The traffic to which some of them are subjected approximate 2,500 vehicles a day. We have spent less than 100 dollars a mile to maintain the roads we built for the five years they have been down, and in view of the service of the roads and "their low cost of upkeep, we consider our concrete pavements a good investment.

Iv connection with the maintenance of these concrete roads I want to cite an interesting incident. Rouge River is the only river in Wayne County tbat overflows it£ banks. It is spiled with a retaining wall at a point on Michigan Avenue Road, and that retaining wall was washed out a year ago. The concrete road alongside the river was undermined three feet. It was undermined early in March, and it was June before we could get to the road to fix it up. The road sustained the traffic during that time. We posted danger signs and warning signs to keep people off the edge, but farmers and others did not keep off the edge, so we eventually put piles o£ earth and lanterns along the edge io keep them off. The traffic svas carried over the washed out part of the road 'for a matter of nine weeks without any apparent harm to the concrete.

In Wayne County you will find hoys roller-skating iuto the country delivering papers on these concrete loads; you will |md children going to school; you will find city business cien delivering coal and ice into the country ; you will find farmers hauling larger loads into the city, and I think you will find the community ai large well satisfied with the pavements ; at least ye have now on file from every section of the county enough petitions to build concrete roads to Keep us busy for the next 10 years, building roads at the rate of 30 miles a year.

There are a number of gratitying features in conjunction with the road work that has been done in Wayne County. For instance, last year Detroit issued over 31,000,000 dollars worth of building permits, yec in terms of peTcentage, for the first time in the history of the county, Wayne County, outside of Detroit, increased its assessed valuation to a greater extent'than the city of Detroit.

There aro two sources of revenue for the building of our country roads One is a direct tax levied on all tha people of the distriot to be expended outside of the cities, and oannot exceed 50 cents on 1,000 dollars. The othor is by bond issue. A-fter we had been building concrete roads for a year, people were -not satisfied with the progress \ye were making, and they wanted to issue bonds for 2,00Q,Q00, to be spent in one year. The County Hoad Commissioners had not a sufficient organisa,tiqq. to, do this, and finally a compromise was effected to spread th,e expenditure over a period of five years. "We are now in the fourth year. "We will will have 500,000 available during 1914 for road building.

Last year, with, the building of the Plymouth Rqad, we abandoned every other type qf construction, and. adapted concrete entirely-.

Now, gentlemen, we do not claim for the concrete road that is a panacea for all road ills. We are proud of our roads. We have one section of road that is, the longest concrete road in the world. I| e^te^ds o.uj; fro:n Petroit 2Q miles. Resides this., we. have a go,qd}y mileage o,f connate jn the county w^ich ttjaifes YVayne Stand Q"Rt 3S QU.e of ttie farfim,o&t rqad counties in tb.e country. We da claim, however, tha.t ou,rQonGr«fee road has merit, and that it is well worth, the investigation of any community. In our locality we can build concrete for half the cost per square yard of any other so-called permanent pave~ inent. We would insult your intelligence if wo told you ttyMl' s,;6* had not niad.fi m^tal^'S. ' W"e have made mistakes—lota of them—but we have not made the sp,me mistake fcwice.
