WHAT IS PETRoLITH1c PAVEMENT"

1t is dustless, noiseless and r.
oughly waterproof pavement, at one
sixth the price of asphalt and one
third the price of macadam. Streets
have been laid by this system between
five and six years without repair and
are in first-class condition today, there
fore 1t has passed the experimental
stage.
1t is a system of impregnating the
natural soil of streets and highways
with heavy asphaltic oil by the use
of 5000-pound Petrolithic Rolling
Tamper. This Roller is filled with
teeth or spikes which project seven
inches from it's surface; on the end of
each tooth is a head resembling a
Sleeps foot with a surface of about
2x3 inches. These teeth are forced
into the freshly plowed streets to their
full length by the immense weight of
the Roller which passes back and forth
over the street until base is formed
practically as hard as rock; then
heavy asphaltic oil is applied, which
is thoroughly cultivated until every
particle of the soil is mixed with the
asphaltic oil; the Rolling Tamper is
next applied, passing to and fro times
innumerable over the street until its
hampers ride higher and higher above
the base until they eventually ride on
the surface of the completed street,
which is then as dense as the densest
hard pan. Three or four applications
OF heavy asphaltic oil are used, gall
Ion at each application, the amount de-
pending largely upon the nature of the
soil to be worked. In clay or adobe
soil, especially where a street is sub
jected to heavy city traffic, a surface
coat Of two or more inches of clean
gravel is recommended; this gravel Is
incorporated with the top two inches of
petrolized street by the use OF the
Rolling Tamper and as in all Petro-
lithic pavements Is finished with a
heavy, smooth roller This system
produces satisfactory results in every
class of soil on which it has been tried
from heaviest adobe to lightest beach
sand. 1t is especially adapted to
beaches, where so many other pave
ments fail, or are so expensive as to
make them prohibitive. Ocean Park
has petrolithic paved street on 12
per cent grade, built without cutters
in 1903 on pure sand, that is in per-
feet condition today, except where
torn up for water or gas mains. On
account of it's durability and inexpen-
sive construction, every beach from
Santa Monica to Newport should be
connected with this system OF pave
ment. 1t would be the greatest attrac-
ton In Southern California to leave
Los Angeles in the morning in an
automobile, visit every beach on the
