What reading level is Biennial Report of the California Highway Commission, volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The work is being accomplished by use of pick and shovel, and station cars, wheelbarrows, steam shovel, teams and scrapers and road graders operated by tractors, convict labor being employed in all pro- cesses with the exception of the operating crew on the steam shovel.
The drilling is accomplished by both hand labor and machine drills.
Throughout the entire construction more or less rock has been en- countered and the use of drills and powder has been an important factor in the prosecution of... the work. The blasting operations have been extremely hazardous, involving the use of 300 tons of powder, and the men have displayed a remarkable aptitude for this class of work, both in caution and efficiency. Only one accident has occurred, for which no one was to blame, but, unfortunately, this accident proved fatal.
Conduct of the Camps.
The honor system is employed, the men being unguarded at all times, and it may be said the men have as a rule readily responded to the honor system; this, in the face of the diversified personnel of the camp, which comprises men serving sentences from a few months to life, and for crimes ranging from petty larceny to murder ; men of all nationalities, from all grades of society and of all trades and professions.
