penter addressed the chamber of
commerce Tuesday noon on the
subject of roads. Mr.. Carpenter
is an asphalt salesman and road
expert. He laid emphasis OIL the

destroy them in a short time. The
speaker also gave some valuable
advice on repairing country roads.
A mixture of one to two and half
inch stone mixed with asphalt
laid on the old road bed and COW
cred with hard stone and asphalt
dressing make n live, durable road.
Such road will last six or seven
years under heavy traffic and then
can be cheaply recovered. Asphalt
pavement makes riding in Fords

ter. In tests made during the past

partment, roads were put under
traffic and broken up. Asphalt

any other.
