Salt is the latest device for laying
lust on roads in the country. The au
thor of the new departure is NJ. Trint
zins, city surveyor Of Rouen, who has
published it as the result of a long
series of experiments. The list of these
while bringing out the weak side OF
the new system, possesses considerable
interest as showing 1t to possess real
possibilities Of utility. A long stretch OF
road was first watered and then sprin
kled with salt. The next day the sur
face of the road was covered with q
thin glazed crust. Rain removed this
in parts, but where the glaze remained
there was no dust for five days.
