Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Massachusetts Highway Commission: January, 1902
The standard thickness of covering should be used on level stretches, with a possible reduction in depth on grades. If any weakness develops later on, the thickness of covering may be obtained by spreading on more stone and rolling it.
On the same principle, the drains may be omitted at the time of building, putting them where needed only at any subsequent time, if the roadway shows indications of rutting.
