Bnnda Uhunl lit Curry on llie Work unil Modern tleiliuiH of IllKliiviiy lluiiiliiiK —Uiu InrrritNe lu ii-'unii \ allien Kx|iri't«U. Hillsborough county. Kin., affords an I interesting example (»t modern nieth , | oils of road building, writes John Far son ill Hit' t'liicago Tribune. ii is sit uated on tiie west const about midway of the stale and is best known through its county seat, Tampa. I'util the last year this county had only fourteen niilrs of hard surfaced road outside of its cities and villages, although it had a population of IMi,ooo and contained over 1.1100 si | via re miles. Outside of I these fourteen miles, nearly all of I which were immediately adjacent to I the city of Tampa, practically the only ! roads were meandering trails through ! the woods. The soil is of the kind usu ; ally met with in Florida, either deep I sand or boggy mud, and at times these I roads are impassable. The few miles j of road that had been constructed ; were made only by force of sheer ne j cesslt.v and at large cost. Material was brought in from outside the county, | and there was a general impression ] that Hillsborough county had no road I material within its limits, j All this was changed recently when a few of the most enterprising of the I citizens discovered that here and there J through the county were occasional deposits of rock, and an energetic campaign for good roads was begun. An issue of $400,000 of county bonds was voted uud was linall.v carried, al l though there was much opposition 0:1 | the part of many who believed the I scheme was impracticable opposition | which was carried to the supreme j court of Florida in two different cases | anil reappeared ill the local courts in | the form of injunctions before the i bonds were linall.v issued. From the proceeds of these bonds ! $34,000 was devoted to the purchase | of first class road machinery, iiu lud j ing eight miles of twenty-live pound I steel rails, with sutlicient five fool lies, j a sixteen ton narrow gauge locomo I tive and ten dump cars of four ton capacity. The machinery included a teu ton steel roller, three road graders, | a rock crusher of eighty tons capacity, I a steam drill, large pump and hose tor i washing and tearing down the overbur | den of sand covering the rock pits, a twenty horsepower boiler and a thirty horsepower boiler and engine on wheels. Several rock pits in different i parts of the county were bought for a | trifling sum and the work was begun. ' J.ike other southern counties, llills , borough couuty has a chain gang, the ' number of convicts varying at differ ent times from fifteen to forty. These men were put to work in the rock pits and on the road. The railroad was used only where the rock pit is over two miles from the road to be con structed. If the pit is at close range mule teams are used to haul the crush ed rock. At a greater distance the ties are quickly laid and the rails spiked down and a train of ten cars starts out with a load of forty tons of rock to be deposited on the new road. Several different kinds of material are found, and most of them are used with good success. From the creeks and rivers is a soft lime rock, which has been found to pack or cement so well as to form a hard, smooth road bed. In other parts of the county is a hard, flinty rock of an older formation, while in the eastern part several valu able tracts have been purchased, con taining an abundance of phosphate rock and pebble mixed with clay, which are particularly valuable because they call lie so cheaply worked and are serv iceable when properly laid. 11l still other parts is found a gray clay and marl in strata from two to eight feet iu thickness. This material frequently contains a high percentage of almoin luui and makes a splendid finish for roads. While this new era of roadmaklng for Hillsborough county has been in progress only a year, it has already clearly demonstrated its success both in cheapness and quality of construc tion. Twenty miles of road have been completed within the last year, fifty more have been surveyed and cleared of roots anil stumps, seventeen of these have been graded and eighteen miles have been ditched. It has been determined that the cost of clearing a roadway forty feet wide runs from sni to $l">o per mile and that the complete cost of a mile of road from the time the surveyor begins his work until the last surface application has been rolled is as low as $ 1,200 where the rock pit Is near by and ranges from thiit to SII,OOO In the case of roads cluht or l< i miles away fro u the pit. The frequency of ll.cse pits lias mai'e it possible for i!ie officials to plan for the construction of o*er 150 miles oi road from the proceeds of s4<)o,o! fO of bonds after paying for their road maclilneiy, and the best of all is the fact that they are actually "good rotuls," as hard and smooth as any well macadamized city street. Already the score of miles construct ed within the last year has materially affected the trade of Tampa, neat which most of the roads have been built. As no other county In the state is so well equipped with road luachin ery. and as no oilier county oil the west coast has more than a few miles of hard surface road, the advantage which Is already accruing to Hillsborough couuty has been markedly apparent. With a magnificent harbor and roads running in every direction. It is ex pected that within two years every part of Hillsborough county will be so closely connected with the port by the best of roads as to Increase the aggre gate value of farm lands far more thua tbe amount of bonds Issued.

Because—absolutely without restrictions. Because—non forfeitable from date of issue. He cause—cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—-if death does not occur an accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the- policy-holder who lives. Policies now maturing to living policy-holders prove this.
