HISTORY OF ARDMORE PAVEMENT
BY COL. SIDNEY SUGGS

Some 20 years ago when Ardmore
was receiving from 50 l. 55. 600 bales
of cotton per year. il was said TO be
the largest inland cotton market in
the world. During the cotton season
Main street became so muddy that
at times four mules were required
TO pull two bales of cotton and this
caused the citizens 10 cast about for
ways and means to improve Main
street.
AT last property owners, merchants.
professional men and mechanics all
Clipped in and raised the money, then
proceeded to pave four or five inter
sections on Main street. These inter
sections were paved with Oklahoma
natural rock asphalt which was
ground up and rolled cold with a
horse roller. four inches thick without
base. All kinds Of heavy loads
such as steam threshers, boilers and
heavily loaded narrow tired wagons
passed over these pavements and after
years of hard service, it showed no
signs of depressions, waves or cracks.
III fact. no deterioration. Later all
this paving had TO be removed for
proper grading, laying of water and
sewer pipes, etc. Then about 80, 900
yards OF paving was laid on four
inch concrete base with two-inch
top of Oklahoma natural rock as
phalt. This was ground and rolled
and rolled down hot. No maintenance
was given this paving for years.
when it had only been down a few
tdays. circus came to town with rs
tcars. These were unloaded at one
place on East Main street and paraded
Main to the west. The heavy draft
horses with their sharp corks made
'lfunch the transportation agent for
the circus, saw the writer making
notes and said: "If / damage this
pavement in any way | will leave
money in the bank to pay for all
REPAIRS" but after all the hauling and
Iparading no damage was done.
This paving has been torn up in
many places for mending broken
water pipes, laying new water pipes,
tgas pipes. telephone lines. etc. Then
lthe fearful explosion which we all re-
member with horror, came about
seven years ago and shattered the
concrete foundation. Notwithstanding
pall Of this there has not been more
than 25 per cent deterioration and
where it hasn't been disturbed by the
laying of pipe lines, il is rs good as
'any paving that can be found in any
lclty in the state. The patching OF
this paving in many places has been
poorly done and a composition was
used instead of asphalt. Where ground
asphalt was used for patching IL is
Just as good as the paving and has
stood there for eight years, as good
as new.
f.. A. Kingsley, a widely known
paving engineer, in letter to the
writer says: 81 have often wondered
why the Oklahoma deposits have not
been developed further, and more es
pecialy since the rock asphalt pave
ments have been so remarkably sue
cessful. The rock asphalt pavements
are the best pavement of any kind
in Texas and l know Of none better
fanywhere. They have not rolled, raw
eled nor cracked. Neither do they
after many years wear, show any
lsigns of deterioration. Like the Sicil

This road can be graded in a few
days and with the bridges and
culverts looked after and a sys-
tenn of dragging kept up there
will be a splendid road.
We understand also that the
people along the route from the
18th district line on to Stanton
vile are making preparations.
Other communities will take up
the work, no doubt and in a few
months the road working will be
going on throughout the county.
Again let us urge that the people
do their part and make all prep,
arations for the grading of the
roads.

Road Working

Attention is again directed to
the general public about the road
working plan. Reports coming
from the supervisor are that the
different neighborhoods are not
doing the work necessary to the
proper grading Of the roads with
the outfit. It is very necessary
that prelimary work be done that
the work may be expedited. This
can be done by the people along
the proposed roads and under the
direction of the roadcommissioner
and overseers. Some of the i'm
portant things to look after are
the widenidg of narrow places
and stretches of road; having
fences set back so as to have
the road of sufficient width; fill
ing low places; taking up stumps
and removing other obstructions,
and in general to do such work
in the grading of a right of way
so that when the tractor and
grader reach the road there will
be nothing for the crew to dc
except to grade the road as clear.
ed and laid out.
We understand that the peo.
pie along the roads from the ole
fair ground to Adamsville along
the old stage road route are max.
ing the necessary preparation fol
the coming of the road working
outfit. People have agreed tt
set back fences and sufficienr
grounds have been obtained tx
