CITY STREETS TO
HAVECO ATING
OF TARVIA SOON

Street Commissioner Estey is now
planning, II the weather is 30 that he
can. to give Waterville streets their
first coating Of Tarvia. The material
has arrived and has been in the yards
for several days but 1t has been impos.
sible to do anything before as the
weather has continued wet. One OF
the men Of the company will be pres
ent and will be in charge Of the work.
Silver street will be the first Of the
streets to be coated with the new. to
Waterville, road preservative. This
street Is in fine condition at the pres
ent time and it is hoped that the coat
ing Of Tarvia will prove all that 1t Is
claimed for 1t and that it will make 1t
oven better than now is. Other streets
to be treated will be Gilman and Bur
leigh and some Of the shorter streets
which have recently been built. Tar
via is expected to not only preserve ana
improve the road but to lay the dust
completely. so that on the streets
treated the dust nuisance is done away
with. 1t can be used successfully only
on gravel or maeadam roads. It Is put
on with the oiling machine and then
covered with a fine sand and makes
coating that is impervious to rain
and which will not be rolled up by
the automobile wheels. waterville peo-
pie will watch with much interest the
use Of this new road building mate
rial.
