“ROAD WAVES.”
CAUSES EXPLAINED. At the conclusion of his address to the Foxton Lunch 'Club on Road Engineering on Thursday, Mr. H. V. Bond, Engineer to the Manawatu County Council., was asked wliat caused “waves” in a. road. Mr. Bond said it was comimonly believed that the road planer (one of which was to be seen operating on the Fox tou-Palin ersto n North road near Rangitane at present) was the cause of this trouble but this was not the case. The trouble was due to an excess of blinding or sand in a road. A hard road would never wave. Waving was also to be found ip bit unionised, or tar roads mie to a faulty foundation or to the bitumen applied to the road. Too nui'ch bitumen on a road would cause Iwaves. Waves we|re \fery much to be guarded against in road-making.
