Commissioners Try
New Type Treatment
For County Roadways

If you see little white flakes on
some of Garrett County's unpaved
roads this summer it isn't a mid-sum-
mer snow. It's Calcium Chloride, a
new type of treatment for our county
roads-at least new to Garrett county
although this treatment has been
increasingly used for over twenty
years by federal, state and county
highway departments throughout the
United States. Such is the announce
mcnt made by the Garrett County
Commissioners, who have already
made arrangements to have some of
the county's new road bases and some
unimproved roads treated with Solvay
Calcium Chloride.
While this road treatment will be
used primarily to lay the dust and
compact and bind the road surfaces, it
is also used as a means of reducing
maintenance costs and developing a
better road base for future pave
ments.
Calcium Chloride comes in the form
of small, white flakes which are
spread uniformly over the road sur
face These flakes attract moisture
from the air as a magnet attracts
steel In fact they will absorb suf-
ficient moisture to dissolve them
selves completely and soak in to the
road surface. This solution is clean,
odorless, colorless and harmless and
results in a surface that is slightly
damp, compact, and dust-free since
the moisture is held in the ground for
an indefinite period of time
The commissioners point out as
well, that this is an inexpensive
treatment since Calcium Chloride it
self is low in cost and since substan-
tial savings are effected in blade
maintenance and loss Of surfacing
materials. In fact, other counties
which have used Calcium Chloride re-
port that the savings on maintenance
and blading alone often pay for the
Calcium Chloride
This is the same type of treatment
as is used on various Federal Public
Roads Administration roads such as
the Scenic Skyline Drive and Blue
Ridge Parkway. Also, many states
have used Calcium Chloride success
fully on thousands of miles of unpaved
roads.
