TESTING NEW
STREET MATERIAL

City Engineer A. S. Adams brought
to The Eagle office this morning a
sample of street or road making ma
Iterial which he says is to be had in
unlimited quantities at Yuma, small
station on the international and
Great Northern Railroad eighteen
miles south of Bryan. 1t is blood
red clay thoroughly mixed with
gravel, and it is claimed that after
being put on a street or road and
thoroughly rolled, becomes almost as
hard as concrete.
Mr.. Adams has presented the city
with a car of this material for expert
metnal purposes. South Dallas street
near the H. G. Rhodes residence has
been selected for experiment, and the
work of putting it down began this
Afternoon. The city has no roller,
and Mr., Adams said the mixture
would be tamped in place of rolling.
The material is very cheap and En-
gineer Adams say a street the length
of block, $50 feet and 40 feet wide,
can be put down for $3.50.
| The result of the experiment will
be awaited with much interest.
