State MAKES
HIGHWAY test
Cameron Concrete AL
most Double Re-
q~uirements

Cameron county concrete highways
are far above the state specifications.
according 70 test reports received
Thursday by w. o. Washington,
county engineer.
Cores taken from the concrete on
the San Benito river road for test
purposes showed the crushing
strength exceeded 5000 poundes per
square inch, according to the report
Of the highway department, which
made the test upon request or the
Cameron county engineers. The min
imum was $3.50 pounds and the max
imum 6.4S0. The state specifications
are 5000 pounds, though the majori-
~ Of state highways test about 1000.
The abnormal strength Of the Cam
eron county highways is attributed
b. the highway department 70 the
use Of high quality sand, gravel and
cement. All materials are inspected
almost hourly while the work is in
progress, and all of inferior quality
Is discarded. Another factor is the
utilization of the cement-water ra-
ito. whereby the exact amount Of
water Is applied TO the mixture 70
assure maximum strength.
Results from tests Of Cameron
county highways have aroused much
interest among the engineers Of the
state department. and the cement
water ratio, which was adopted by
the Cameron county engineers when
work started on the county's $1,000
600 program, has been adopted By
the state engineers On one Of the
large highway projects in the cen
trail part Of the state. and Is ex-
pected to be adopted generally on
all projects in which the state CO.
operates.
