Automobiles Raise Costs Of Road Building, Penn Professor Says

University of Pennsylvania municipal engineering professor William Easby Jr. warned in a lecture that road maintenance costs have risen due to binding materials whose values were not fully understood. He cited 1913 auto usage at 1,250,000 and projected 1,000,000 cars by 1915, with exports at $28,000,000 and imports cut in half since 1906. He argued well built roads with proper subgrades resist damage from mixed traffic better and noted maintenance costs on water bound broken stone roads have surged in New York and Massachusetts since 1907.
