For the best results, and this is fol-

of about one-inch cube should be used
all the way from the foundation to the
bed. These should be put down in
layers and each layer rolled with
light roller. No sand, breaker dust
or soft material whatever should be
used in building up the driveway.
In the rolling, one of the most seri-
GUS mistakes in roadway building is
usually made. To get a good driveway
made quickly heavy roller is used
and. apparently, this method produces
a good driveway if first appearances
only are considered But it is penny
wise and pound foolish. Light rolling,
OF course, requires a greater length
OF time than heavy rolling and there
fore those who are having driveways
built will generally insist on the use
of the heavy roller. No greater mis-
take could be made No matter how
