8. Wearing Surfaee-On this pre-
pared foundation shall be laid the
wearing surface, which shall be COM
posed of carefully selected, sound
hard, crushed stone, mixed with Btu
men, and laid as hereinafter specified:
After heating the stone in a rotary
mechanical dryer to a temperature
about $50 degrees F., it shall be ele-
waited, and passed through a rotary
screen having six or more sections
with varying sized openings. the max
imum Of which shall be 1 ga inches
and the minimum Ito inche in diam
eter. The several sizes of stone thus
separated by the screen sections shall
pass into a bin containing six sections
or compartments. From this bin the
stone shall be drawn into a weigh box,
resting on a scale having seven beams.
The stone from each bin shall be ac-
curately weighed, in the proportions
which have been previously determined
by laboratory tests to give the best
results; that is, the most dense mix
ture of mineral aggregate, and one
having inherent stability. From the
weigh box each batch of mineral ag-
gregate, composed of different sizes
weighed as above, shall pass into
twin pug" or other approved form
of mixer In this mixer shall be added
a sufficient quantity of Warren's Puri-

grees F., the amount used in each
batch shall be accurately weighed, and

previously determined by laboratory
tests to give the best results and to
fill the voids in the mineral aggre-
gate. The mixing shall be continued
until the combination is a uniform BIZ

ing sizes of stone and Bituminous Ce-
ment shall be such that the compress

ticable have the density Of solid stone
All Of said pavement shall be con-
structed to the satisfaction of the city
engineer or other competent inspector
appointed by the city council.
4. Surface Finish-After rolling the
wearing surface, there shall be spread
over it a thin coating Of Warren's

ing being to completely fill any un-
evenness or hOneycomb which may ap-
pear in the surface Of the mixture
There shall then be rolled into the
surface a thin layer of stone chips, for
the purpose of presenting gritty sur
face, the finished product to be six

dirt, so that it will unite with the sue
ceeding laysr.

water, petroleum, oil, water gas or
process tar, and shall be especially re-
fined with a view to remove the light
oil napthaline, and other crystalline
matter. susceptible to atmospheric in
fluences, and must not be affected by
the action of water.
If the crushed stone does not provide
the best proportions of fine grained
such deficiency must be sup
piled by the use of not to exceed Is
per cent hydraulic cement, pulver-
lied stone, or very fine sand.
No bid will be received unless ac-
companied by a separate bid for the
maintenance in good condition of the
Bitulithic pavement for a period of ten
GO years. Such bid for the mainte-
nance to be made in accordance with
the special specifications therefor and
conditioned that upon completion of
the work the city may accept or re-
ject said maintenance proposition.
