﻿DIRECTORY 
  OF 
  QaARRYMEN

  The 
  foregoing 
  directory 
  of 
  quarries 
  and 
  quarrymen, 
  while 
  probably 
  

   not 
  complete 
  is 
  very 
  nearly 
  so. 
  As 
  already 
  indicated 
  in 
  the 
  chapter 
  on 
  

   road 
  materials, 
  only 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  quarries 
  yield 
  stone 
  which 
  is 
  entirely 
  

   satisfactory 
  for 
  road 
  building. 
  The 
  reports 
  of 
  the 
  Massachusetts 
  High- 
  

   way 
  Commission, 
  however, 
  show 
  that 
  where 
  the 
  best 
  material 
  is 
  not 
  

   obtainable, 
  other 
  material 
  can 
  be 
  put 
  to 
  a 
  very 
  good 
  use, 
  and 
  a 
  sand- 
  

   stone 
  may 
  make 
  a 
  very 
  satisfactory 
  foundation, 
  when 
  covered 
  with 
  trap 
  

   or 
  even 
  with 
  limestone, 
  if 
  nothing 
  more 
  desirable 
  is 
  available. 
  Roads 
  

   built 
  in 
  this 
  way 
  probably 
  require 
  more 
  engineering 
  skill 
  in 
  their 
  con- 
  

   struction 
  and 
  more 
  careful 
  watching 
  in 
  maintenance 
  and 
  repair. 
  The 
  

   local 
  problems 
  must 
  be 
  worked 
  out 
  in 
  the 
  future 
  by 
  actual 
  experiment 
  

   under 
  the 
  supervision 
  of 
  competent 
  road 
  engineers.
