Abstract
SINCE the introduction of bicycles and motor-cars the question of road maintenance has come very much to the front. It formed one of the subjects discussed in Section G at the late meeting of the British Association, and was considered of sufficient importance to warrant the appointment of a committee to inquire generally into the subject, but more especially as to the effect of the condition of the surface of roads on the tractive force required to move vehicles along them.
