The ROCK ASPHALT PAVEMENT
VOW BEING LAID ON MILAN, FROM
HADLEY TO MCGOWAN.
Il Will Also Extend Eight Blocks on
McCaowan Avcnue-How This As
phalt IL Being Handled.

The Municipal Improvement company
has now laid over 500 yards of the Uvalde
rock asphalt pavement on Milan street,
commencing at Hadley and going toward
MCGOWAN. The work to be done on this
street will comprise three blocks and the
contractors hope to finish 1t by Wednes-
day. the concrete foundation having been
already laid the entire distance. The
concrete foundation being laid for this
pavement is the same as that placed on
Main street, except that it is an inch less
In depth, being five inches Instead OF six.
This pavement also differs from the Main
street pavement in that no binder is used,
tho rock asphalt surface being placed dls
rectly upon the concrete foundation. The
asphalt surface. however. Is two and a
half inches thick. which is one half more
in thickness than the Barber sheet asphalt
laid on Main street. The surface is also
of different consistency, not being SO
soft, nor yet so hard and brittle as the
surface OF the Ayres pavement In the Fifth
ward, where California asphalt was used
This rock asphalt is used in its natural
condition, no foreign substance, such as
sand, being used in its nsalSe-up. 1t. how
ever. contains large percentage OF lime
stone.
reporter for The Post, through the
courtesy OF Mr.. Charles Donnelly, was
taken yesterday and shown the plant
where the rock asphalt Is being prepared
for the pavement. 1t is located on Lamar
avenue, near the old freight depot of tho
san Antonio and Arkansas Pass Railway
company. The plant is much less COM
plicated than the ones used In preparing
sheet asphalt. The asphalt in its natural
state is run through dsntergatiug ma
chine and then ground UP and heated 10
a temperature of about 255 degrees. In
this ground or pulverized state 1t is laii
in the pavement and by compression Is
again rendered compact and soon hardens,
1t continues to harden with use and age
until it forms a sort of concrete.
a car of the asphalt shipped in from the
quarry was being unloaded at the plant
while the reporter was there yesterday,
and in the short time that 1t had remained
in the car it had become so hard and COM
pact that 1t was with some difficulty that
Il was removed with picks,
II will be Interesting to note the COM
parlson of this pavement being laid with
the rock asphalt. with the sheet asphalt
pavement recently laid on Main street by
the Barber COMPANY
The rock asphalt people have eleven
blocks in their contract, three on Milan
street and eight en- McGowan avenue, aud
they expect to have the entire contract
completed by September Is.
