This petition was signed by the governors of many of the states, including Governor McKIniey of Ohio, by chambers of commerce and univer- slti and was indorsed by resolutions vi it-Kisiuiures. . , . - ; The office of road inquiry was estab lished under authority of an act ef U&1T1U) STATES OmCS OT PUBLIC EOADS. congress approved March 3, 1S03, mak ing appropriation of $10,000 for the de partment of "agriculture. The clause relating to this work provided that the secretary of agriculture should make, inquiries In regard to systems of road management throughout the ; United States, make investigations in regard to the best methods of nAd making, prepare . publications on this subject and assist agricultural colleges and ex periment stations in disseminating in formation.' , V- ; ; ,: Since 1S03 the total amount appro priated for the office of public roads Is $SG4,SC0. and since its establishment the office has issued 40 bulletins, 03 circulars, 0 farmers bulletins. 21 year book reprints and, IS annual reports, a total of 1S3 publications. : ; Tba office has directed the construc tion of about 340 object lessons , and experimental roads, illustrating macad am, bituminous macadam, brick, grav el, sand-clay, shell and. earth construc- tion. The approximate expenditure on these object lessons and experimental - roads by ..-local autnormes nas oeen 000,702., and the subsequent road work due. directly to the object lesson roads ! represents expenditures running well up Into millions. Lectures and person al advice by engineers and experts have constituted a prominent feature, of the work of the office since its establish ment The road material laboratory was Installed in December, 1000, and from that-time to July 1, 1011, about 5,300 samples of road material . have been received from practically every state in the Union an&tested to deter mine their character and value for road building.. : y ji k--;i'fr;jy-'- A photographic laboratory was In- stalled in January, 1000, and has now a complete outfit This was the. direct result of a great need for illustrated lectures. The office has now n collec tion of about C.000 negatives and about 2.000 slides, many" of which have been -colored. - These illustrate all phases of road work: .'; ; Experiments have been conducted with oils. tars, rock asphalt and vari ous t preparations for the purpose dt preventing dust and preserving mac adam roads ' from destruction under modern traffic conditions. The office- has conducted investigations to deter mine the feasibility of the sand-clay method of road -building in the. south ern; states as well as in the . prairie Btates. and this method of construction nas been found to be quite practicable. especially In the south. .

In actual operation. This exhibit was designed ;and prepar ed by the office, and since the exposi tion closed similar exhibits have been shown Jn many parts of the United States, partly through, the medium of expositions and partly by means of ex hibit trains operated by several rail roads, v Lecturers and . demonstrators accompany these exhibits, making them In reality schools of instruction in road sniidin Graduates in engineering are ap pointed from colleges each year after a competitive - examination, and are given thorough tralnmg while render ing : practical services to the govern ment. In this way an efficient corps of engineers, is being built up, which will aid the .development of road building along proper . lines, both ." during and after thejlr connection with the gov ernment Thls work was begun in the fiscal jear 1003. . Investigations into' the decomposition of rock powders under the action of water have led to important discover ies with reference to Increasing the ce menting value of road materials. The Investigation Into the corrosion of iron nnd steel' culverts has, brought out im portant results. The generally accept ed theories regarding the , rusting of iron have been demonstrated to bo in correct, and it - has been shown that by , treating the surface of the iron with a -strong oxidizing agent the rust ing carfc be Inhibited. ; i In May,! 1907, the office Inaugurated a . projwt ilesigned to Introduce the best- fusible systems of construct ion. maintenance; and.' administration ' of roads In the various' counties.
