WADDELL CONDEMNS IT.
Says Natural Rock Asphalt Isn't
Good For Repairs.

While in Kansas City the Topeka
councilmen were given to understand
by City Engineer Waddell that asphalt
pavement such as exists in Topeka can
not be repaired with natural rock
asphalt, or in other words. that Topeka
would have to get its streets repaired
by the Barber Asphalt Paving company
or some of the other companies in the
Barber trust.
J. Bradley. the only natural rock
asphalt man in Topeka. denies this. He
says:
The Topeka pavements can be re-
paired as well with natural rock asphalt
as with any other kind Somebody has
been trying to work the council. [
have myself made hundreds Of repairs
on the Topeka asphalt pavements with
natural rock asphalt, during City Engi-
neer Kingmans administration. Some
Of these patches exist today, and can
show them to the council if they doubt
the truth Of what I say. The condition
Of Nineteenth street in Kansas City.
which is bad, is due simply to the man
ner in which that pavement was laid.
It was laid under a rush order, just a
the beginning of winter. The ASPHALT
was overheated, and was laid too thin.
That is what ais Nineteenth street
Natural rock asphalt when properly laid
will stand up under the hardest kind Of
use"
