Being greatly interested in the type f pavement used on our highways where I must drive in all kinds of weather, I have secured the statistics for the year 1924 for Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and covering highway s E E v Washin-to- ia, n, paving. I have R zona, Oregon and Washington were 100 per cent Portland cement concrete, with no other type being placed under contracf. In the states of California and Nevada we find that the highway departments contracted of all their pavement 69 per cent awards in 1924 for Portland cement concrete. Combining all five state we find that 79.5 per cent of al state highway pavements placed under contract in 1924 were for portland cement concrete type. Another condition that is of interest to those who must drive over our paved roads is the question of rigid pavements as against elastic or soft-bas- e pavements. Much misinformation is being circulated in this state as to the alleged popularity of the soft-bas- e type, the advocates for that type claiming that as the subgrade settles this soft-bas- e pavement will also settle and not crack. This certainly has been the experience of all users of this type so far as the settling tendencies are concerned and the surface presented on this type of pavement after a few years' ser- vice is one bump after another. To show how popular this soft-bas- e pavement is to the state highway Nevada, Orgon and Washington, I have compiled the 1924 awards in these states. I find that Arizona, Oregon and Washington highway departments would have none of it as no awards for this type were made in 1924. The state highway department of California contracted for 4,000 square yards and the state highway department of Nevada approximately 12,000 square yards. During this same period these five state highway departments placed under contract approximately 1,470,- 00 square yards of portland cement concrete pavement. an R GEO. H. WATSON & CO.
