CRUDE OIL ON COUNTRY ROADS.
Remarkable Results Of Experiments
Made with It's Use in Iowa.

Major NJ. Meigs. a civil engineer Of keo-
kuk, Iowa, made a short address at the
session Of the Missouri Good Roads AS
ISOLATION, which in the opinion Of many
was the most interesting part OF the
days work He opened new field OF
investigation. and proposed experiments
in securing good roads along line prac-
tically unknown outside OF few local
tiles in the East. 1t is his opinion that
the use Of crude oil may prove pana-
cea for bad roads in localities where road
material is hard 10 obtain.
His said his attention was first direct
ed 10 using oil on the highways by read
ing newspaper clippings from Pennsyl-
yania town. Ii seems that a leaky oil
pipe near the town In question was re-
sponslble for the discovery. This pipe
was near place In the road that was
invariably impossible during the season
OF spring and fall rains. When the leak
occurred in the pipe the ground became
saturated TO some extent with oil. and
very soon II was noticed that the mud
dried up and the surface OF the earh be-
came hard and remained so. IL appears
that so notorious was this piece OF bad
road that the effect Of the III - Y be-

Major Meigs said that he sent "A letter

some crude oil for experimental purposes.
They forwarded a tank containing I2)
