Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highway Cost Keeping Only in rare instances were cost-keeping systems found in counties or townships. This condition is due largely to the notable scarcity of information available on the subject of highway cost keeping, as practically all textbooks on cost keeping have been prepared from the viewpoint of factory management and are not readily adaptable to highway work. Furthermore, the usefulness of highway cost data has not yet been generally appreciated by public officials. Purpose of the bulletin. - The purpose of this publication is to present, first, in an elementary way the principles which govern cost keeping; second, a practicable application of those principles to highway work. Development of cost systems. - Cost keeping was developed in the manufacturing industries. To Charles Babbage has been conceded the honor of having first called the attention of the manufacturing world to its desirability, in 1832, in his publication entitled "The Economy of Manufacture." Half a century elapsed, however, before factory managers, forced by relentless competition to eliminate waste and incompetency from their factories, began to introduce systems of cost keeping. Since 1900 the use of cost keeping in manufacturing industries has developed steadily. During this period of development principles regarded as basic have been established. While cost keeping for highway work is of comparatively recent origin, it is based upon factory cost keeping, and the same principles govern. Cost Elements. The term "cost," as generally interpreted and as used in this bulletin, is the summation of expenditures expressed in terms of money involved to acquire or produce a utility or to perform a service. The cost of every unit of product, whether it be a square yard of road surface maintained, or a cubic yard of concrete which is a part of a bridge or culvert, is composed of four basic elements of expense, namely: (1) The cost of labor. (2) The cost of materials. (3) The cost of service of plant and equipment. (4) The cost of general expense or overhead. Labor. The costs of labor are divided into two classes; first, direct labor cost; and, second, indirect labor cost. All labor chargeable against the product which can be designated as directly expended on it is called direct labor. All labor chargeable against production and not directly expended on the product is called indirect labor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
