How New York'stste Furnishcs a Les.
son to cunncctlcut.
The annual report of the New York.
State Highway Commission has just
been submitted. It‘sbows that the mak-
ing of good roads in New York hast
wonderfully progressed within the last
few years, and that, it will not require
a remote period to complete about
onehalf of the highway improvement
already planned. There are in New
York stats about. 80.000 miles of pub-
lic roads. During the ten years prior
‘ to January 1. 1909. 1.787 miles had been
mncadumlsed, and during the last two
years something over 1.0th miles have,
been added. in the performance of this
work about twenty-two millions of dol-
lars have been “expended of the fifty
millions originally appropriated and it
is estimated that forty millions more‘
will be needed to complete the whole
work. By the end of 1911. it is ex-'
pocted. a macadsm road will extenl
frotu New York city to Buffalo, a dis-
; fence or 487 miles, being the longest
1 continuous sirytch in the world.
That 'tion of the report that im-
7 presses us most relates to the. work of '
repairs. The enormous traffic of the
automobiles has made it necessary for
the commission to devise some more
j permanent plan of :onstruction as .
well as repairs, and for a year or two
past it has been using bituminous ina-
terini for a trip dressing. This material
has been found nut only to withstand
the motor vcbicle traffic quite satisfa'ce
torlly. but it also climinates .dust. ln
cost “grids about. $2.000 per mile, but
the commission thinks this is fully
warranted by the decrease in the un-
uuul cost of tnninlenanCc. So appre-
ciably is this felt that it is estimated
proximately $5,000 less than was re
quired in 1910. This economy is based
upon a mileage of nearly 500 miles of
road. .
The experience of New York is
valuable to all states that are spend-
lug large sums of money in macadam
construction. it has a very important
lesson for Connecticut. whose roads
wear out so quickly and the repairs
upon which seem to be an increasing
quantity each year. The use of oil
in this state has not proven a success
as a preventive of wear althouhg it
has brought great relief where prop-
erly applied, from the dust nuisance.
Somehow the State Highway Depart-
ment of Connecticut seems impressed
with the conviction that the more oil
that is put on the hettc; it is for the
road surface. Highways in this im-
mediate vicinity. and notably the road
