The tampers we have weigh about three

sThe oil We use has an asphalt base and
specific gravity of about LIB, We call
for about from rs per cent or so per cent
of what really is known as liquid asp
halt. This we find gives the best re-
suits SO far as our work has shown. OILS
containing wakes such as Parafine and
Oxokorite have proven failure IN max
ing these roads as the wakes do not get
hard but will always be soft and there
fore unsuitable. A mixture OF coal tar
with the asphaltic base serves admirably
and in sections where the expense OF
bringing in the asphaltis oils would be
too great. the addition of coal tar will
probably make it possible to construct
these roads cheaply.
eWe nave made these roads. in sand
with about ten per cent of clay matter
and gravel soils and so far have not
made single failure, although our first
efforts do not approach in quality the
roads we are making now. The essential
part OF making the roads in this way
with this asphaltic oil is that every part
icle OF soil is thoroughly mixed. and the
better the mixture, the better the re-
suit. 1t is also necessary to change the
amount OF oil in some soils, gravel not
taking as much as the clay soils, and
where you get an excess OF oil 1t IS al
most impossible to get the proper con
sistency to the road. In case this should
occur We replow tn ewhole and retamI
it, thus bringing just enough OF the sol
from the bottom to take up the excess
OF oil. This vastly improves the oac
and makes it even better than it woul,

knowledge that in making repairs
