IS ALL RIGHT.
Expert Perdue Says the Pavement
Isn't Too Soft.

Fear that the asphalt pavement be-
ing laid on Kansas avenue is too soft
can be safely dfssipated. says E. N.
Perdue, the asphalt expert of the city
who has the inspection in charge. A
number of the property owners have
protested to Mayor ". H. Davis
claiming that the asphalt mixture was
not correct because impressions We're
left on the pavement by horses and
vehicles. The softness of the pave
ment is due to the volatile oils which
are contained in the asphalt, says MI
Per6ue. When the volatile oils evapO-
rate the pavement will become hard
and Will turn the wear and tear with
out suffering defacing marks.
In fact 1t is claimed that the soft
ness of the asphalt pavement is a
favorable indication-that if it were
not soft it would be considered q basis
OF suspicion that the mixture was not
right. Another danger which would
be inc Crred if the pavement were not
soft at this time would be cracking Of
the surface when cold weather would
scs H. Tne softness of the pavement
at this time gives an opportunity for
expansion and contraction brought
about by varying temperatures.
There can't be anything the matter
with the asphalt, it N eets the standard
feE tests of penetration" said Periue
me SpeclucdllOnS PROVIDE tnat the
penetration must be from 40 to IS
and it is just half way between those
two Cints. The tests that have
Taa6n show that The penetration is
about SIS to 60. This VIII indicate that
the asphalt IS not too soft
'-1r everything thae l have examined
in connection with this pavement it
has met I'd with the highest require
ments- The people of Topeka are get
ting good pavement and good honest
work. A number of tests that I have
made make the pavement meet the
ideal proportions and specifications
contained in the text books and that Is
something exceedingly rare. In order
TO meet the conditions the paving
company has continually tried new
sand beds in an attempt to get nearer
the ideal specification. The 80 mesh
sand which we had some difficulty in
securing earlier in the contract is be-
ing procured now without any trouble
There is plenty of it. In other things
too, the specifications in the contract
are being exceeded. The contract
calls for two inches Of asphalt top, but

you can see for yourself that it is far
more than two inches"
That Kansas avenue is not being Ia
ken care of properly is a criticism which
the asphalt expert makes
You don't keep this street as clean
as you might. Down on lower Kansas
avenue where it has been repaved there
is a lot of filth lying on the streets, and
water standing about I should think
that the city would want to feel proud
of its street now with a new pavement
down and keep 1t clean. The merchants
sweep things in the gutter and that
doesn't look we'll Nothing ruins a pave
ment more quickly than standing wa
ter and the filth which is allowed to re-
main lying about on the street without
being swept up"
Coal oil and gasoline are solvents Of
asphalt and drippings from oil wagons
will eat right into the pavement. Early
Monday morning some one drove into
the barricade surrounding the newly laid
pavement between Sixth avenue and
Seventh street and upset hanging Ian
tern, the coal oil spilled out Of the Ian
tern and dissolved the asphalt pavement
so badly that a patch seven feet long by
two feet across had to be made. This
indicates what the oil and gasoline
wagons will do to the Kansas avenue
pavement unless they are properly pro-
vided with drip pans.
