This handwritten document is labeled as a thesis for a B. S. Degree. In this discussion I shall endeavor to discuss the problem of highway construction in a general way, but especially the construction of a modern highway in a country which has a natural deposit of gray limestone such as Rockbridge County abounds in. I shall also try to popint out the value of a first class public road from an economic standpoint, and its value to the rapid development of the country, and also discuss the technical side of the construction of a road.
