J.» Not. 20th, 1896. Han. H, L Budd, State CommisHaner of PiJ^lic Roads, Trenton, N J. ': Dear Sib— Gloucester county has almoet doubled its length of free stone roads during the present year. We just finished six (6) miles of stone road on the line of the old abandoned Qlassboro turnpike, which was originally built of gravel by a private corporation for toll purposes. This earth road could not stand the completion of a railroad from Glassboro to Camden, particularly since the gravel was so sca...rce along the line, thereby making the maintenance expensive. It was abandoned and all the invested capital sunk ; the stock- holders' loss was the county's gain. There could be no better foundation for a stone road than a gravel turnpike already graded. The gravel removed to make room for the stone bed forms a splendid shoulder for the stone- work. We built one mile of 10-inch macadam in this road at 84 cents per square yard ;. the balance was of telford construction at 87 cents per square yard for 10 inches^ deep.
