The use OF crude oil for killing the
dust on railroad beds has been so sue
cessful that experiments in the same
direction have been tried on country
roads. The experiments were under
takn by Mai. Meigs, who had noted the
change that had taken place in bad
h' of road near town In Pennsyl-
yania, where an old oil pipe had been
leaking for some time. This pipe was
near a place in the road that was in
variably impossible during the season
of spring and fall rains. The ground
became so saturated by the oil that the
mud rapidly dried up. and the surface
of the earth became hard and remain
ed so. A tank containing some l8O
barrels was used for tests. which were
made on a notoriously bad stretch OF
road. The results have proved that 1t
is easy to keep the worst road in con-
dition by treating 1t with oil. which
prevents the earth from becoming wet
by forming waterproof crust. 1t is
estimated that barrel of crude oil will
suffice for strip of road 100 feet long
and twelve feet wide. The cost of the
oil at the wells is about 80 cents
barrel, so that this form of road-mend-
ing is about the cheapest known.
