" It will be so by contra. St, for 6 NATIONAL SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS AND LANDSCAPE DESIGNING. there are still many highway builders who regard 5 and 6 per cent as ordinary grades, and 7, 8, 9, and 10 per cent as permissible. But 2| per cent is, in fact, not a low grade. In railroad work 2^ per cent is now excessive and impossible for trunk lines. It is only per- missible in branches. In the earlier days of railroading, grades of 2, 3, and 4 per cent were thought permissible on trunlv lines. But now... it is considered almost imperative to keep within 1 per cent and very desirable to keep within one-half of 1 per cent. Of course. It is phj^sically possible to operate trains over steeper grades, but the managements of railways endeavor to operate on business lines, and they have found that steep grades make operation expensive. There is economy in operating trains over low grades. This is a matter of dollars and cents, or, we may say, hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars. It is economy to have one crew and its one engine haul the largest possible tonnage in a train, or to make the steam from a ton of coal haul the largest possible number of tons.
