Driving an tutomobile has convinced him, as nothing else could, tlutt a mud road, impassable after every ruin um! for two or three months in the spring, is not the kind of road on which he wishe- his farm situated. Macadam properly built still has its place. Macadam must be distinguish- ed trom the spologies tor stone roads so often seen. Stone dumped on an old road, with no proper drainage or grading, and without the use ot a roll. er, does not resemble a macedam road any more than a pile ot loose bricks resemble a house. The macadun must be well built from the bottom up. If the automobile tmme becomes exces- sive. the surface can be protected by surface coatings of bituminous ma- terials. In the bituminous macadam the bond between the stone is rein- forced by some form of bitumen, either asphalt or refined tar. Ten year: ago, before the advent of the automobile in numbers, the type of road to be built in country districts would have admitted no question. Macadam would hove been aptrcitutl, The bituminous macadam, where a suitable stone is obtainable, forms a very attractive road proposition. Its cost is not greatly in excess ot plain macadam. which has been a standard tor country road work.
