WASHINGTON, D. C.. MARCH 13, 1914
COST AND LOCATION OF EARTH
ROADS.
The cost of hauling over country
roads is largely determined by the
size of the load that can be hauled,
the number cf trips that can be made
in a day, and the wear and tear on
teams and equipment, according to the
Office of Public
Roads. Steep grade*,
and mudholes, serve
to
decreeso both the speed and the load.
On
the
principle that
a
chain is no
stronger than its weakest link, the
maximum
's
load that a team can draw
load that it can draw up the
steepest
hill or
through the
deepest
mudhole on that road.
Wherever possible roads should be
located on straight lines between ter
minal points. In hilly or mountainous
country, however, the attempts to keep
roads straight between terminals often
leads to the serious error of heavy
grades. Straightness and grade, there
fore, he handled together. The best
location is one which is straight in
general direction, is free from steep
grader, is located on solid ground,
and serves the largest possible num.
bcr of people. Roads should 'be lo
cated for the benefit of the public, as
well as the private landowner.
The elimination of one or two
steep hills on a line of road will fre
quently enable horses to draw three or
four times as much as they could draw
on the old road. It takes approximate
ly four times as much power to draw
loads up 10 per cent grades (10 feet
vertical in 100 feet horizontal) as on
a level but o« a 4 per cent or 5 per
cent grade a horse can usually draw
(for a short time) as much as he can
draw on a level. A 4 per cent grade
is, therefore, considered the maximum
on roads subject to heavy hauling.
over the hill—the handle of the bucket
is no longer when held in a horizontal
position than in a vertical. By going
around we avoid two steep hills.
If the road must pass up a steep
hill or mountain sides the steepest
of the grade may be decreased by in
creasing the length of the road. In
other words, eliminate steep grades by
locating the road on curved or zigzag
lines, and aot in a straight line from
the bottom to the top of the hill. These
curves should be carefully plotted and
the straight stretches located with an
instrument. This improves the looks
oi the road and does aot add mater
ially to its cost.
Meaning of a One-Foot Grade.
In studying the relation of grade to
distance the following cauculation is
interesting: To lift a ton I foot high
requires 2,000 foot-pounds of energy
on a road the surface of which offers
100 pounds of tractive resistence per
ton the same energy would roll the
ton a horizontal distance of 20 feet.
'To save I foot of grade the road may
therefore be lengthened 20 feet.
Roads should never be located so
close to stream bed* as to be subject
to overflow, or cm ground which is
constantly damp and marshy.
The earth road should have at least
six hoars of sunshine each day. This
can be secured either by locating the
roadroad with southern or weatern ex
posure or by having such brash and

gravel and stone roads this is not so
necessary, as a certain amount of
moisture is needed on such roads,
especially in the summer time.
Relocating roads is not an engineer
ing problem alone. One must also
consider the effect of the road on those
who now live upon it. Many farm
ers dislike to have the road placed
back of their house or out of sight of
it. It requires tact and good judg
ment to secure a suitable location with
out arousing harsh antagonism.

The typhoid fly is merely an old ac

decided that this is the most appro

known as the "house fly," which is a
most dangerous creature although con
sidered at most simply a nuisance by
many people. This fly is one of the
most active agents in spreading typhoid
fever. It spreads Asiatic cholera and
other diseases of the intestines. It ha
even been known to be a minor factor
in spreading tuberculosis.

is also suspected of carrying infantile

is conducting another investigation of
a disease-bearing insect. This is the
carrier of "spotted fever"—a species
of tick in the northern Rocky Moun

pellagra is transmitted by insect. This
has not yet been proven.
