ROcMAc ROADS

The Polk County Good Roads AS
ISOLATION and the Lakeland Chamber
of Commerce, through their secre-
tary, have gone into the subject Of
various types of paving and hard
surfaced road material and among
other types of construction have had
under consideration material
called "rocmac."
Very little is known in the South
Of this material and this article is
written by Secretary Holworthy for
the purpose of informing those who
are interested in street paving and
| country road construction of the ma
ture of the material. how construct
ed, its cost and wearing qualities,
as well as maintenance charge, be-
cause no road can be built at any
reasonable cost which will wear in
definitely and without proper main
/ tenance when needed. This informa-
ton has been derived from the pros
pectus of the rocmac corporation
from city, county and State highway
engineers in this country and in
Canada where the material has been
used and from samples submitted for
inspection.
Rocmac is chemical solution, q
mineral, the base of rocmac beins
silica.
Rocmac, when mixed with lime
: stone screenings, which upon analy
sis show so per cent calcium carbo
nate, results in the formation of al
insoluble silicate of lime, whlc'
with the aid of the carbonic acid il
the atmosphere becomes very har'

Rocmac is a natural binder, no
only because it binds the stone i
similar fashion to that in whic
their various particles are bonded
but because it brings to life and &C

. of the stone, forming, as 1t were,

It is claimed that it is self-hea
ing and waterproof for the follow
}, ing reasons:
= When the rocmac matrix, That
IS the mixture of alkaline silicate al
n carbonate of lime, becomes expose
e TO the air, it loses water ana D
