Book excerpt: Excerpt from Road Material Surveys in 1915 This report is the result of a detailed survey of the materials lying within wagon-hauling distance of the-route proposed for an improvul highway between the city of Ottawa and the town of Prescott, Ontario. The area examined includes some 550 square miles and embraces a strip of. Territory at least 10 miles wide, with the route of the proposed road through the middle; near Ottawa it was extended to include all the townships of Nepean and Gloucester. The report deals with all materials within the area that could be used for road-mak'ing - bedrock. Glacial boulders or field stone, and gravel. The amount of material examined and the extent of territory covered are far in excess of what would have been_necessary for the needs of the trunk highway albne, but this was so planned to obtain a more thorough knowledge of the various kinds of road material in the district, and to be of as much assistance as possible to road oflicials in the townships traversed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gravel Roads, Vol. 2: July, 1913 A well graded and well drained earth road is necessary for the foundation of any kind of an improved road; therefore, money expended on such work is not lost even though it be several years before the road receives a hard surface. In building any good road, the first essentials are a careful survey and suitable plans. As most of the Michigan roads that will be graveled are old roads now in use, and which have been in use for many years, there is but little opportunity to make new locations. However, when new locations are made, as they still are in the newer and sparsely settled counties, the work should be done with the same regard for easy grades, low cost of construction and fitness of roadbed as would characterize a railroad survey. Due prominence should be given to directness, but it should be remembered that the primary object of section lines is not to define the center lines of highways, that the distance around a hill may not be much greater than the distance over it, and that slight curves increase the length of a road but little. Sometimes the cost of a new right of way around a bad hill would not be so much as the cost of cutting the hill down to a reasonable grade. What has been said about new surveys applies with equal force to resurveys, except that old roads can seldom be changed unless the reasons for so doing are very strong. Permanent buildings, improved grounds, beautiful shade trees and other improvements become fixtures along old roads that make changes a hardship to the owners, who frequently, and often justly, strenuously oppose any suggestion of a new location. Nevertheless changes should be made where little damage would result, to avoid bad hills, bad swamps, sinking bogs, expensive stream crossings and sometimes to shorten the road. On old roads it is best to set the stakes along the sides, one row on each side parallel to the center line, and preferably 20 or 25 feet therefrom, so as to place them on the outer margin of the ditches or gutters where they will not be destroyed by ordinary traffic, nor so easily by grading teams. The plans should show: (a) the center cuts and fills; (b) the depth of each ditch or gutter from the hub stake adjacent thereto and (c) the vertical distance, up or down, from each side stake to the established center grade. Nothing less complete is satisfactory, for, in most cases, the work of grading is placed in charge of a highway commissioner or his foreman without the assistance of an engineer. Grades. In some parts of the State the most troublesome question to consider is that of grades. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide shows you how three great land surveys can provide information on your ancestor's home as well as historical snapshots of your area. The tithe, Valuation Office and National Farm surveys were comparable to the Domesday Book in their coverage. Spanning the period 1836-1943, they provide abundant information on rural and urban localities; on dwellings, settlements and landscapes; and on individual householders and tenants, farmers and industrialists. The surveys are of value to family and local historians. This guide is your companion to researching these records. The text explains why and how the surveys were made, and shows you how to identify and interpret the records that will put your ancestors or neighbourhood 'on the map'.
Download or read book Charles Dickens and China 1895 1915 written by Klaudia Hiu Yen Lee and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1895 to 1915, Chinese translations of Dickens's fiction first appeared as part of a growing interest in Western literature and culture among Chinese intellectuals. Klaudia Hiu Yen investigates the multifarious ways in which Dickens’s works were adapted, reconfigured, and transformed for the Chinese readership against the turbulent political and social conditions in the last stages of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) and the early Republic (1912-1949). Moving beyond the 'Response to the West’ model which often characterises East-West interactions, Lee explores how Chinese intellectuals viewed Dickens’s novels as performing a particular social function; on occasion, they were used to advance the country’s social and political causes. Translation and adaptation became a means through which the politics and social values of the original Dickens texts were undermined or even subverted. Situating the early introduction of Dickens to China within the broader field of Victorian studies, Lee challenges some of the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the ’global’ turn, both in Dickens scholarship and in Victorian studies in general.

Download or read book The American Road written by Katherine M. Johnson and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2021-06-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The American Road Katherine M. Johnson develops a bold new theory for how the American highway system has taken on such outsized scale and complexity by emphasizing the emergence of a powerful administrative apparatus in the American federal system. Established in 1914 expressly to intervene in the congressional debates of the era, the American highway bureaucracy consisted of forty-eight state highway officials acting in and through their self-organized association, the American Association of State Highway Officials. Johnson’s central argument is that this new institution occupied a similar position relative to the American state as political parties and courts did. The capacity to organize across a complex constitutional order enabled it to control the purpose and allocation of federal highway aid for the better part of the twentieth century. Johnson investigates this new conception of the American highway bureaucracy, showing specifically where and how that extraconstitutional authority emerged, expanded, and manifested itself in the legislative history, physical dimensions, and geographical reach of the emerging highway system. The American Road reveals that all of the major highway legislation approved by Congress from 1916 to 1941 was collectively developed and advanced by state and federal highway bureaucrats drawing on the new authority conferred by the system of federal grants-in-aid, which required state legislatures to provide a state matching grant and local governments to relinquish control over decisions of location and design. The capacity to advance their policy aims through both the advice of experts and the will of the states not only secured the new highway program against renewed opposition in Congress in the 1920s but also won the strong support of the motor vehicle industry and set the stage for even more impressive policy gains of the 1930s when highways became the largest category of federal emergency public works. That collective authority, however, required a high threshold of consensus to secure and maintain, producing not just a narrow one-size-fits-all approach to technical issues but also a striking incapacity to respond to changing conditions. Johnson completes her compelling narrative by identifying the source of the interstate highway plan, first proposed in 1939 and finally funded in 1956, in the internal dynamics of and external threats to that extraconstitutional authority.
