A recently published report of the

In 1906 twelve miles of road were
treated with oil TO keep down the
dust. and the result was so satisfac-
tory that In 1907 the whole extent of
more than forty miles was treated in
this way. Mr.. Putnam, the engineer.
has carefully calculated the cost, and
he says that the annual cost of sprn.
king thirty foot roadway was $3.50
a mile whereas the cost of oiling the
same roadway thirty feet wide was
1915. In addition to laying the dust,
the asphaltum in the oil had binding
effect on the surface of the road and
very materially lessened the cost for
repairs. The oil is put on in an emul
sion in which fifteen pounds Of soap
dissolved in fifty gallons of water are
mixed with hundred gallons of crude

gallons of this are mixed with 450 gal
