Strana 17 - Total to date, $689,445 61 GEO. A. PERKINS. NS SHALER. WE McCLINTOCK. APPENDIX. APPENDIX. [A.] SHOWING METHOD OF LAYING OUT AND CONSTRUCTING STATE HIGHWAYS. Before any action toward laying out and constructing a State highway can be taken by the commission, it is necessary that a petition, signed either by the selectmen of a town, the mayor and aldermen of a city or the county commissioners of a county in which the road lies, accompanied by a plan and profile prepared in accordance with the requirements...
Strana 113 - SECTION 7. Two or more cities or towns may petition the said commission, representing that in their opinion the common necessity and convenience require that the commonwealth should acquire as a State highway a new or an existing road leading from one city or town to another, which petition shall be accompanied by a detailed description of such road by metes and bounds, and also a plan and profile of the same. If said commission adjudge that the common necessity and convenience require such road...
Strana 17 - ... was made at the expense of the state. This led to many delays, and later a fixed appropriation was made to the Highway Commission which they were to use for the improvement of roads without referring to the legislature, and the right to petition was broadened so that it might be taken advantage of by the Selectmen of a town, the Mayor and Aldermen of a city, or by the County Commissioners. This has proved very satisfactory, and the amount of money annually appropriated has grown from $300,000...
Strana 90 - It has not been thought desirable to present herewith the сопь píete data obtained from the impact test, as the series is not yet completed. The writer has, however, collected and shown in accompanying table some of the more important results thus far obtained, — a sufficient number to indicate the scope of the work done. In this table the stones are arranged in the order of their power of resisting abrasion. Column 1 contains the specific density of the stones ; column 2, the coefficients...
Strana 42 - North Attleborough. All the road in Norfolk was laid out. This is one of the cases where the work is being done by private contractors, the town deciding not to undertake the contract. Messrs. Hendrick, Taylor & Warner were the successful bidders for the work. The commission determined, on account of the lateness of the season when the work was entered upon, only to grade this road during the year, leaving the Macadamizing for another season. A large portion of the grading has been completed. The...
Strana 4 - Especial care has been taken to have such inspections made by at least one member of the Board, in company with the chief engineer, during that portion of the spring time when the frost was coming from the ground, and when it was possible to judge as to the conditions to be met with in building a road and as to the satisfactory nature of the work which had been done during the preceding autumn. CONTRACTS. The laws which guide the commission permit either of two methods whereby contracts may be made...
Strana 89 - Attached to the plunger is a lever, pivoted at one sixth of its length from the plunger, and carrying a pencil at its free end. The pencil has a vertical movement five times as great as that of the plunger, and its movement is registered on a drum against which the pencil presses. The drum rotates through a small angle at each stroke of the hammer.
Strana 89 - The resulting briquette is then put aside for at least one week, so it may thoroughly dry. It was at first thought that a test by direct compression would determine the cementing power of the stone. A number of briquettes were tried in this way, but the results were not very satisfactory. On further consideration, it...
Strana 88 - The following description quoted from the report of the Massachusetts Highway Commission for 1896, describes in detail the methods in use by that organization.* t LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS ON ROADBUILDING STONES The following described results were obtained in the highway laboratory of the engineering department of the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University. Those under the head 'Coefficient of abrasion...

The pencil has a vertical movement five times as great as that of the plunger, and its movement is registered on a drum against which the pencil presses. The drum rotates through a small angle at each stroke of the hammer. An automatic diagram is thus taken of the behavior of the briquette throughout the whole test. An analysis of the diagram so taken shows at once the number of blows required to cause the destruction...
