Tar-Macadam.

In the search for something at once
cheap and durable to pave their streets
and public roads, the officials OF Ontario,
Canada, have discovered q combination
styled tar-macadam which costs from
one-third to one-half as much as asphalt
or vitrified brick and wears fully as
long. Twenty-Five years ago trial was
made upon one of the most used streets.
During all this time almost no money
or labor was spent In repairs, yet the
piece Is In good condition and used at
present Four years ago they paved
one OF their main business streets with
tar macadam. After four years hard
usage, without dollars worth of re-
pairs, the road is as good as when laid.
And the cost of construction was only
6S cents per square yard. Even IL nee
essary to re-surface, It can be done at
a cost OF 20 cents per square yard. The
construction Is simple but solid Upon
a foundation of rough stones six inches
deep, as in macadamized road, small
two anda-half inch stones are laid to a
depth of five inches and these are mixed
with tar. AS surface coat upon this
an inch of tar and fine gravel is used.
Each separate layer is rolled with a
l5-ton roller and when completed the
street, from curb to curb IL smooth and
almost as noiseless as asphalt, affording
an excellent footing for horses. Con-
sidering its comparative cheapness II
should be widely initiated.

Need a Board of Trade.

Every live town needs an active board
OF trade, composed Of men not easily
discouraged, who will persist in getting
industries to locate in a town. The
growth OF number OF towns, Kane for
instant, shows what an active board Of
trade can do for town. Reynolds
vile Is good town, but don't begin to
be the town it should be with the many
advantages ther is here for large or
small industries. The fact OF the mat
ter, there are few towns that have the
natural advantages that this town
possesses. Then what is the matter d?
why don't we get some OF the large in
dustries that are looking for good loca-
tions ? The trouble is within ourselves.
We must get before the capitalists.
Is it possible that some people are so
much afraid that II they use their in
huence to get an industry located at
Reynoldsville that some other person
will get more gain out OF it than they
will Surely that would be blind sell
fishness. Let us all get our shoulder to
the wheel and give the town boust
regardless OF who reaps the largest
harvest. The growth OF Reynoldsville
is In the hands Of the citizens. Are we
satisfied to remain in the rear OF the
procession ?
