A system of road-making is under way in England to last 100 years. Concrete wooden blocks, and tar are the materials used. Motor lorries shipped by American manufacturers to Norway have been refused admission into that countrj' because they were not in conformity with the new wbeel and type specification. Norway is the first country in the world to propose national legislation enacting that motor lorries up to two tons capacity be equipped with pneumatic tyres so as to prevent damage to the roads and to cut down the exceesive cost of highway repairs due to the use of solid tyres. The Act is to become operative this month.
