oILING HIGHWAYS.
A Process That Gives Them a Hard
Surface.

Santa Barbara, Cal. has just COM
pleted some careful and industrious ex-
periments in the line of oiling of public
highways. Work has been finished on
eleven blocks of streets located In vari-
Gus parts Of the city, and private indi-
viduals are engaged in oillng streets in
front of their properties
The process used has been carefully
followed, says the Los Angeles Herald
There are several stages, and care at
each is the secret of the success at

brought to a clean round grade. The
dirt is made fairly fine. spading har-
row being used This implement very
much resembles a gang of cutters with
deep notcheS cut from each cutting cir
Gle. This grading does away with
chuckhoes and makes the street as
even as possible before the oil is placed.
Sprinkling with water follows the grad
ing. On several blocks sprlnkling was
omitted to see what the effect would
be. The best blocks laid are those
where the sprinkling was done.
The oil was heated in its car to make
it run easily and was then hauled to
the streets in a sprinkling cart. The
and the oil runs upon the surface. Then
comes second treatment with the
harrow and then a second coating of
oil. Narrowing for the third time mixes
the oil well with the earth, but gives
the street very nasty appearance.
Next comes the chief feature of the
process used by the contractors. They
have rights to the use of a patented
tamping machine with which the oil is
worked into the street This machine
consists of roller of wood into which
are set rows of iron spikes each foot
long by two inches thick and each
having a fattened head. The roller
rolls on the ends of these spikes and
mashes the oil almost out of sight into
the street. The treatment with this
roller hardens the surface and permits
the use of heavy steam roller for the
purpose of further packing and level
ing the street.
The amount of oil may be varied.
About hundred barrels We're used to
