Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Bituminous Roads and Pavements: A Thesis
Perhaps no other subject, today, has such a genuine interest in the minds of the public as that of good roads. All over the United States as well as other nations, the people are awakening to the fact that good roads are essential to the rapid growth and development of the country.
The ease and comfort of travel on highways are only acquired by improvement of the roadways.
The national government has a department devoted wholly to the advancement and aid in road building. Nearly every state in the union has a highway department which looks after the building and maintaining of its roads. Every city has a department which is devoted to the improvement and maintenance of its streets and pavements. Millions of dollars are spent annually and yet the demand for more and better roads is rapidly increasing.
