TO BOOST GOOD ROADS.
Barber Asphalt Co. To Embark on
Statewide Campaign.

The Barber Asphalt Paving Co.,
which supplies large part of the
sheet asphalt that goes into Detroit's
streets, Is about to embark on a state
wide campaign in the interest of
good roads and, incidentally, the Bar
Der Asphalt Co. II. G. Mckay, OF
Philadelphia, has come on to boost
the game along. He will have his
headquarters in Detroit and make his
home here permanently. He is STOP
ping in the Pontchartrain for the
present.
The Barber company has a new
way OF building macadam roads, u.s.
ing natural asphalt as binder. The
asphalt is poured on the crushed stone
In liquid form until 1t fills all the
crevices. Gravel screenings are then
scattered over the top and as the
roads are used the asphalt gradually
works to the surface, mixes with the
screenings and makes a smooth hard
surface not unlike that presented by
sheet asphalt. This system, Mr.. Nc
Kay says, has been used with great
success In the east.
