ASP HALT DEPOSITS. NTEREST EXPERTS
Product Found In Tennessee Valley Examined By Party
 Of Engineers
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD


 Probability that north Alabama as phalt soon may make it's appearance in large quantities on north Alabama streets and roads loomed today s d result of a conference of engineers in Florence When the visitors were the guests of C. w. AshcrafU. The engi- neers and MT. Ashcraft examined the asphalt, which has been found in vari- ous parts of the valley, and special attention was given to the rock now being mined near Florence, which in its prepared form, is being used on the streets of Florence.
 II. s. Bingham, Morgan county en- gineer declared that the Florence product resembled in many respects the asphalt found in sections ot Texas He said the powdered asphalt at Florence remained dry and un- affected by rain to remarkable de- gree.
 Asphalt in large quantities has been found in several communities in north Alabama and recently efforts have been made to mine it on 6 big scale. If a product is used within the section in which it is mined, 1t IS believed that fact will go far toward making this development sure, as well as providing material for dur able streets and highways at lower costs.
