Cd. c. specifications for Warren's
bituIithic pavement, which, if carried
out, and hard stone employed, l am
confident, a good, durable pavement
would be obtained.
To construct said pavement the
stone has to be heated to at least $50
degrees Fair. Ny fear is, our local
stones will disintegrate under such
heat and lose their gritty quality.
which is so essential to the success of
this paving.
Without a gritty surface it is. not
one whit better than asphalt as to
slpperiness.
l think it superior to asphalt in that
it is not so easily affected by water
as Trinidad asphalt, such as we have
on our Atlanta streets.
Its durability depends largely upon
just how well Warren Brothers have
bridled the oils in the bitumen used
to make their different cements This,
time alone can tell.
The officers in the engineering de-
partment at Washington told us OF
many engineers whose hopes had
been blasted along these lines in
succeeded in holding the oils in pitch
and would ask the privilege of putting
down a trial pavement. In few
years the oils would evaporate and
| the pavements go to pieces.
After a five years trial, Warren
| Brothers seem to have succeeded lfaI
beyond others, and may have in that
respect durable pavement
Before long, l Ueheve, Warren
Brothers will recommend concrete
foundation and trap rock for wearing

bituminous compounds.
First, Warren'S No. l Puritan Brand

secret. 1t may be after while the

Engineer Golfers
Paving Discussion.

Bitulithic pavement is the subject
of to-day's installment of Engineer
Golfers pamphlet upon street paw
ing, and, as this sort of paving has
been discussed in several articles,
published heretofore in The Journal,
the views of Mr.. Collier will prove
of more than ordinary interest.
Although Mr. Collier is opposed to
all sheet pavings he admits that
bitulithic is superior to asphalt and,
from the five year test of the system,
believes the manufacturers may have
discovered a durable paving material.
Mr. Collier thinks that bitulithic
paving would be more lasting and
satisfactory if placed upon a founda-
ton of concrete, with trap rock for
the wearing service, and believes this
will eventually be recommended.

The whole thing is more complica-
ted than any other pavement.
Every ingredient except stone has
to be bought of Warren Brothers, and
the machinery that mixes them has

trust than the asphalt trust, it seems
to me.
Having personally met the Warren
Brothers. / have no hesitancy in say
ing they are most excellent gentle
men, and have surrounded them

tlemen as assistants; but we might

The Municipal Engineering of May
1905. comparing bitulithic with as

The essential difference between

that the former is made of a combina

specially prepared water proofins
