1t was explained that a certain
amount of rock dust was not detri-
mental, and some experts desired
the use of a certain amount of rock
dust, especially in the laying of
sheet asphalt In asphaltic con-
crete resurfacing work it was said
that the use of some rock dust was
really beneficial, and that city in
spectors on paving work wepe in
structed to perform, as a part OF
their duty, the close inspection of
rock used to prevent use of an
over-amount of rock dust. To set
tie the question to the satisfaction
of all concerned, it was agreed
that a provision would be made in
the Letting of contracts that not
over 10 per cent rock dust should
show up in the crushed rock used
on the job.
