Width ofmacadam, ft. Max. grade, ft. and tenths per 100 ft. East Passaic avenue Budds Lake road Passaic ave. (E. bank Passaic river) Patterson and Hamburg Turnpike Mendham-Bernardville.. Telford ....Macadam. .. Telford .... Macndam ..Macadam .. 86 10 t 1610 to 16 20 1612 7-57-5 8.86 910.75 Upon city streets, however, it is often difficult tomake any radical change in the grade, and always im-possible to avoid hills by change of location, so thatgrades which are steeper than these are sometimesused, and with surprisingly good results. The city of Newton, Massachusetts, comprises fifteenvillages in an area of twenty square miles, containingsome sixty miles of the finest macadam roads, whichare built and maintained in perfect order by commis-sioner Chas. W. Ross, formerly member of the statehighway commission.
