Hurry Bobcat ttt Swinton Path born eight children, Interesting Talk on Roads and Roadmaking At the regular convocation of Dur. ham' Chapter, Royal Arch Masons on Monday evening, the oompaniots were treated to an enlightening story of roads and their development down to the present day, from one well quautial tonarmteit. Ex. Comp. W.R. Alder, Superintendent ot Government Highways in this section ot the prov- Man’o ttrgt roads, said the speaker, were trails through the bush, but as man developed roads were found nec- essary, and ever since. good roads have been a. big tactor in my nar tion'a development, About 4000 B. c, tho Egyptians constructed the itrgt roads we have recom ot to convey ma. terial tor building the pyramids, a- bout 1900 B. C. the Babylonian:' were road builders, then the Carthaginiams around 1000-800 B. c., and the Rom- day in road construction. The Roman Empire built 50,000 miles ot road, one main highway running through France to English channel, then up through England to Scottish border, where a wall was built some 2000 Gi-i-ilk 500 B. C. These were all great powers and foremost in their It was the middle of the 18th een- tury before the ttrat movement to repair and have improved roadawas made, when Teller and MacAdam had the inspiration to 1aydowrreotr- blestones and blocks of stone. years ago to hold hack the ferocious Highland Seotchmen! '. From then down to the present day is the second epoch in road building, and, continued Mr Alder, "We have achieved a development in the sci- ence of road building in Ontario to- day not excelled in any other coun- try." It has come in four stages. First was the old pioneer mad out through the bush. Some of these were the old "corduroy roads," cover- ed with earth. The second stage was when roads were widened to 16 or 20 feet and gmvelled; these are mostly township roads now, and this men main highways closed about 1890 to 1901. The townships found they were too small a unit to properly look af- ter main roads, and the next step was when these were made county roads and widene d to 26 feet, In 1901 the first Government subsidy _ was given. ' in 1915, the Ontario Dept. at High- ways was tanned, when the Province took Over the trunk roads and in 1925 the Gov't subsidy on these Pro. vinclal highways was increased lo 80%. in third stage of improved mad. building, crushed stone was introduc- ed, with smaller stone on top, then covering of stone duet and water, and rolled dawn. The advent of the motor car changed the complexion of things, however. It sucked up the dust from between the stones and a surface treatment to hold dust in was applied and these made were called waterubound macadam. Trucks and more and faster needed can; brought on the penetration type ot road, when bituminous mgsttarfal was forced between the stones. This mad ended the third stage. w. R. Alder, Highways Superin- tendent, Addrmeo Royal Arch Masons. The fourth tstage-- our present main highways - demanded a. higher type of mad to withstand heavy tru- Be. Waterbound and penetrationmac- adam have become obselete, and the fourth stage - made recently built, are of mixed macadam, of concrete, or of bituminous asphalt on concrete base, the latter two kinds being laid tor Durham's pavements.

Pram a. nodal standpoint they are a. comfort to travel on. we visit lumber aiield, and get to know each other better. Internationally. good roads play a. leading part in prmnot- ing friendship and understanding bee tween the people: of dinerent na- tions. By making easier and cheaper transport. they are a. factor in re ducing the cost of living. Operating costs of a car are about M a mile; it in eliminating curves and straightening mad, a. mile can be saved, it means a. saving ot $15 a day tor 500 cars trattle.
