USE SALT ON ROADS

AS a general rule the roads Ia and
around French towns IRE tarred at
the commencement Of the summer in
order TO abate the dust nuisance. II
has, however. been found that tar,
although excellent in the case OF
macadamized roads. is Of little or no
value where car lines exist and paved
street crossings intersect the roads
in every direction. as tarring cannot
be carried out on stones.
The authorities, basing their seton
on the weil-Enown hygrometrical
properties of common salt. have made
a test OF its value in laying the dust
Twenty yards of roadway have been
sprinkled literally with sal, and then
watered freely. II the results are
satisfactory salt will be used through
out the town Of Havre. It being I'M
possible to tar the majority OF the
streets, as they are paved with rough
stone blocks.
