Excerpt from Second Report on State Highway Construction: For the Period From January 1, 1906, to January 1, 1908; Part 1 Since the passage of the so-called Shoemaker Law, the counties of the State, which before its enactment had attempted some permanent improvement annually and had called on this ofice for advice and assist ance, have devoted their annual improvement funds to work under the Shoemaker Law, realizing that it was possible to obtain even better results from this source than they could formerly. By so doing, they have been able to secure greater assistance from this office in the way of more detailed plans and more constant supervision of the work, and it has also been possible for them to secure far more extensive improvement for the same amount of money, by the practical doubling of the funds available under the provisions of the State Aid Act. Consequently, little assistance of the character heretofore rendered has been asked for by the counties, although several of the towns of the State have applied for, and received, such assistance from this office. Numerous tests of paving materials, cement, and other substances have been made in the testing laboratory of the Highway Division during the years 1906 and 1907. Most of these have been made for the city of Baltimore which has frequently referred to the Survey the materials to be used in various public works. The submission of samples to certain prescribed tests shows their relative values, and the municipalities in this way are protected against loss in the use of bad materials. The labora tory is equipped with special apparatus for testing vitrified brick, bel gian blocks, crushed stone, cement, and other materials. Over 300 tests were made during the past biennial period.
