pertinent in good road building which has
been found thoroughly satisfactory and
adopted for all the public highways of
Blue mountain, the model cotton mill
suburb of Admission has just been brought
to light by H. F. Williamson, manager Of
the Net and Irvine mills at that place,
and mayor of the town. The experiment
was made with what is known as asphalt
oil, which contains so per cent of pc
troleum, and when sprinkled over the
dirt gives it exceptional stability. There
are 5000 square yards of streets in Blue
mountain, and it will take 5000 gallons of
oil to fill the contract which has just been
let by Manager Williamson.
Mr. Williamson is an ardent good roads
advocate, and the experiment which he
has undertaken in his town will be
watched with interest and may be adopted
for the highways of the county II 1t
