One Uses Tar Mixture in Making
its Pavement and the Other
Uses Asphalt.
HOW IT is DONE.
pavements are Laid Exactly. the Same
Difference is in the Material Used 70
Form the Bed and ROd the Stones To-
gether-The Top Dressing is of Stone
Sitting.

Many questions have been asked
concerning tie proposed pavement for
Rector street and whether or not any
other company besides the Warren
company can put down the bitumin-
GUS pavement The impression has
grown that the Barber Asphalt Com
pany wants to substitute asphalt for
the bituminous material and thus
change the style of the street entirely.
Upon investigating the matter the
Evening News finds that both the
Warren and the Barber people put
down the same kind of a pavement
but use different material in doing it.
The Warren company, it is learned,
use the crushed stone for a founda-
ton, the same as a macadam pave
ment. Upon this is scattered tar
mixture which holds it together.
More stones of finer quality are then
put on. OF course, after each coating
of stone, a heavy roller passes over it,
rolling it down. Then comes pecul-
lar cart with funnel shaped arrange.
ment at the bottom, which scatters
the tar mixture over the entire street,
making a complete layer hiding the
stones entirely. This mass of tar
mixture is smooth and rounded up az
the road should be. After this comes
stone sittings, the same as macadam
road, only the siftings are heated.
This forms the top dressing and when
the road hardens, it makes an excel
lent street. 1t is practically macadam
so far as the stones are concerned, but
the tar is used to make a solid bed
and hold the street together, also pre-
venting dust and mud.
This is bituminous pavement and
the asphalt company declare they will
put down the same thing, and the
specifications will call for the same
thing, only, instead of using the tai
mixture, the asphalt company uses
asphalt. The foundation of stone is
the same, the layers of finer stones
are exactly identical. Only asphalt is
used to hold the stones together and
form a solid bed instead of tar. II
the bids called for bituminous pave.
ment, both the Warren and Barber
people could bid, and as far as appear
ances go, the pavement would be the
same. AS for wear, only a test could
tell which is the best Bithulithic is
the name of the Warren pavement the
same as asphalt is the name of the
Barber.

Charles DanfOrth at the Foot {
Market Street This Morn
Ing Investigating.
WITH SITE
Declares an Ideal Suspension Bridge Cou
be Built from Shore To. Shore To A
certain How Far Out the Towers Cou
Built SO as not to Block Traffic in t
Stream.

This morning Freeholder George
Haney, W. A. Belcher, Charles Da
forth, formerly of the America
Bridge Building Company, went
the foot of Market street, where Il
Amboy end of the proposed bridge
to be located, and looked over Il
site. Mr.. Danforth, who will make
part of his survey today, was we
pleased with the situation.
&" 1t is an ideal site for the bridge,
said Mr. Danforth, "both here an
upon the Staten Island shore. Th
bridge may be built from this side
that it will not in the least affect the
value of the property on Market or
Water streets. -
q Mr. Danforth says that it will be
necessary to grade Water street Just a
little, but says this will be better for
the street, as it will tend to make it
of one level. He says the bridge will
probably be suspension. This is the
most practical in this instance. The
two covers will be placed as far out
as possible. The distance above tide
level will be about 100 feet. Sailing
vessels would on that account have
very little difficulty in going under
it. AT the intersection of Market and
Water streets the altitude Is AZ feet
before tide lever, at the City Hall
park 1t is g. Market street would
have to be graded some.
1.-THE grade would not be severe,
trolley cars, automobiles and carriages
would have no difficulty is ascending
or descending, :" said Mr.. Danforth
In about ten davs he Will have his
first sketches made. They will be
approximate. Mr.. Danforth place,
the length of the bridge about half {
mile or 5000 feet. 1t will run a little
north easterly from the foot of Marke
street to Tottenville, so as to secur,
the advantage of the high approach
on that shore.
At the meeting of the officials o.
Middlesex county and Richmond
county, n. Y, held yesterday at the
office of George Cromwell, st. George
the bridge question was helped con
siderahly. Freeholder George Haney
named the following committee from
New JERSEY. They are: Mayor Sea
man, President Belcher, Alderman at
large Eckert, S. B. Morgan, Asbury
Fountain, Freeholders Haney anc
Glenn, Assemblymen-e elect Henry,
Martin, Fordyce, and Senator-elect
Jackson. Mr.. Cromwell will appoint
his committee within the next two
weeks. W. A. Belcher spoke Of the
assistance OF the Automobile Assocla-
ton, the Good Roads Association, the
Gentlemen 5 Driving Association, and
of Senator Kean. Senator kean has
agreed to use his influence to have the
/ War Department consider the plans
when they are presented. Mr.. Crom-
well will name his committee within
two weeks. They will come to Perth
Amboy and meeting will be held
here to consider the sketches which
will be submitted by Mr.. Danforth.
The Richmond county officials are

An Amusing and Puzzlng Mathemat-
zeal Game.

An Amusing and Puzzlne Mathemat-
eaI Game.
My mother amused all her chill
dren with this puzzle. It was new
er failing source of entertainment
and delightful mystery, but if
she had told us the secret it would
have lost its charm:
"Think of a number"
Perhaps I would think ''Four."
'Double it, u
I thought, but did not say,
Eight
Perhaps she would say, "Add six
to it."
Fourteen"
'Divide it by two"
"Seven."
"Take away the first number you
thought of and the remainder will
be three"
Sure enough, four from seven
does leave three. But I was very
much puzzled to know how she
knew, for the whole process had
been silent on my part. I nearly
always said:
"Let's try it again, mamma"
Suppose / chose 1000.
"Now double it," she would say,
as before.
'"Two thousand" l would say
quickly.
"Add ten to it," would be the
next command.
1.-TWO thousand and ten." That
was not hard.
"Divide by two"
Zone thousand and fve!" / would
cry, glad that | had chosen an easy
number.
"Take away the first number you
thought of and the remainder will
be five"
One might think of ten, another
of seven and | of six. The result
would be the same.
| asked her once what the number
that | had thought of was and was
surprised that she did not know
But | learned when | was Older
that the remainder was always half
of the number added.
