Advocates Use of Oil on
Roads and Says 1t is a
Great Success.
INTERESTING ARTICLE ON THE
SUBJECT BY ARTHUR STEM RE-
PRODUCED FROM THE sEPTEm.
Der lssuE OF THE NATIONAL
GOOD ROADS MAGAZINE.

Inc Times has previously noted the
presence in the city this week of Hon.
A. 5. Mann, the noted advocate OF
good roads, and quoted the gentleman
in the same connection as SAYING that
he had made discovery which would
prove of inestimable value to road
builders, says the Tampa Times. "Dis-
Icovery" was hardly the proper word
to use-and yet,in sense, it is.
The fact is, Senator Mann has been
investigating the use of crude oils on
the sand roads in California and 9th
eT western and middle states. and he
is firmly convinced that this is ineom-
parably the best and by long odds
the cheapest method of building good
roads in this country. In brief, the
method is to grade the sand-giving

run a harrow or rake over the sur
face and then apply the oil with
sprinkling cart, putting on loo to 159,
barrels to the mile. The oil and sand
form an asphalt which is durable,
which sheds water and is free from
dust, and which also has sufficient
flexibility to be easy on horses.
While here Senator Mann drove
over a number of tie county roads
which have been paved with rock
and which become sloppy in wet
weather, and dusty in dry weather.
To make an asphalt surface on these
roads, he said, he would apply from
four to six inches of dry sand on them
and sprinkle the sand with oil.
This method of road building has
been tested very thoroughly in Cali
fornia. and has proven entirely salts

seen some of these roads over which
traction engines weighing forty tons
had passed without making an linden.
ton in the surface.
By his advice a sufficient quantity
of Beaumont oil has been ordered to
make extensive experiments in Duval
county.
Senator Mann says he will come to
Tampa at an early date and address
the board of county commissioners
on the subject.
Senator Mann presented to the
writer copy of the September is
sue of the National Good Roads Mag
azine containing an article on this
subject by Arthur Stem. which is here

The reports from the election held in the State on Monday show big demo- cratic gains everywhere and when the full vote is counted it will no doubt be seen that the democrats have carried the State by the very flattering major ity of 60, GOO.
 Old St Francis county did herself proud by rolling up the largest demo- cratic vote for years and in every instance where democracy was opposed the republicans were completely buried. Judge Little's majority in this county was some thing over ], 300 votes which gives us a representation of eight dele gates in the next state conyen- tion and in all other bodies where 1t is necessary for the county to be repre- scented in delegated form.
 The Chronicle prints complete and thoroughly comprehensive tabulated statement of the election returns which shows the exact figures as to how it happened in St. Francis county.
