City Engineers of Two Western Cities Write
About Bituminous Pavement and
Praise it Highly-South Bend, Indiana
has Used ii Since 1902 and Say It is
Very Satisfactory.

After inspecting the Warren Bithu-
lithio pavement at Newark, last week,
some of the aldermen expressed de-
sire to know what the pavement made
with asphalt as mlxtureTinstead of
tar looked like. Nearly three years
ago this style of pavement twas laid in
South Bend, Indiana. Tt was the de-
sire to know how the pavement with
stood the constant wear of several
years.
To ascertain what was Thought of
the material in South Bend, Alderman
G. D. Runyon telegraphed the city
engineer there asking for q statement
regarding the pavement. The follow
ing letter has been received:

Dear SIR
"Your wire 1879, regarding Barber
bituminous pavement laid in this city.
"This pavement was laid in the fall
Of 1902 and is in good condition today
as when laid and there is no reason to
believe it will not give very satisfact-
ory service.
every truly yours,
"a. J. Hammond

engineer OF Muskegon, Mich, and the
following reply was received this
morning.

sc. D. Runyon,
Dear Sir:
"We have brick streets laid on con-
crete, also laid on sand, with and
without expansion joints, 23 make of
brick, also asphalt blocks, also sheet
asphalt, but we claim our best street
is the one laid with asphaltic concrete
(bituminous macadam) laid by the
Barber Asphalt Company. They laid
one street mile long with street
asphalt, and one street q mile with
bituminous They were the only
streets we have that needed no re-
pairs, the sheet asphalt has a wearing
surface inches, which is 85 per cent
sand and 15 asphalt, the bituminous
or asphaltic concrete has wearing
surface SO per cent crushed granite
and 15 per cent asphalt. Anyone can
see why it wears so good, and I think
we will adopt it as our future pave
mont. We will compare our bitumin-
GUS street with any street and feel
satisfied it will take the banner. We
found the Barber company fair and
honorable In all their dealings. They
have gained the goodwill of our citi-
zens as well as the confidence of our
city officials. refer you to Mayor
Leonard Eyke, City Recorder P. p.
Misner, also our daily press, News,
Chronicle, and Record, and they will
speak as I do.
80. s. Gamble,
City Engineer.
"P. s. You will find the Barber
company bituminous pavement is not
slippery in any weather, is elastic
more so than sheet asphalt. is noise
less, no rattle when wagons travel
over it. People drive out of their
way so they can travel over it as 1T is
easy for horses and vehicles, and quiet
to drive over. Our street is as perfect
today as when laid, over year now,
no holes, no crack. no wear. Perfect.
