has cleaned up Richmond as much

of party ties. His friends feel
that such work clearly entities
him to an endorsement with an
other term.

Nest Successful Asphalt Max
ing Machine

Mr.. Merriam, of Philadelphia, In
ventor of the asphalt-making ma
chine which produced the asphalt for
the city streets, departed for his
home in the east Wednesday night,
after thoroughly inspecting the plant,

full machine of the kind ever con-
stIucted, and to be able to utrn out
better material than any other.

" represented in plants of this kind

Richmond streets is the most dur
able to be found anywhere. Mr.. Mer-

with the results obtained here and
was not afraid of the wear Of the
streets, no matter what amount of
usage they may be subjected to. The
material for the local streets is the

were made by experts during the time
the first of the asphalt was placed,
and after it had been seasoned and
stated that Mr. Merriam had the Sc
cret all right, and they predicted e2-
tensive durability. A number Of the
machines just built for the ioca,
streets have been ordered, and tile
men in charge who have been under,
the personal supervision of Mr.. Mer-
riam, will be sent elsewhere to con-
struct them. A number of addition
al patents are said to have been Is
sued as q result of the change mace
in the plant here, it being the first
