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. _Road-making and Maintenance: a Practical Treatise for Engineers, Surveyors and Others_.
