Excerpt from The Maintenance of Macadamised Roads

Locomotives (amendment) Act of 1878, the incidence upon the county rate of one-half the cost of repairing the main roads leads to a supervision over the expenditure on them, and the mode of their maintenance, by the county authorities.

The following manual is intended to treat of all matters which relate to the systematic maintenance of Macadamised Roads. The observations and conclusions of foreign engineers are freely used where experience has proved their applicability in this country, and information from other sources not gene rally accessible has been brought together in, it is' hoped, a useful form. The results of enquiries of my own, upon points on which further information seemed desirable, are given, and some experience of the county management of roads enables me to offer suggestions as to the manner in which the control of the county authority over the expenditure on main roads may be exercised with advantage.
