PAVEMENTS ESPECIALLY
SUITABLE FOR COOS BAY
Clear and Concise Treatise on
the Cost and Kind of
Materials.
BITULITHIC, CEDAR
BLOCKS AND BRICK
Any of Them Can Be Put Down
on Coos Bay at Compar
atively Low Cost.
Because of tho deep Interest which
la now being manifested In tho pav
ing question In Marshfleld and North
Send, the Times has secured from C.
A, Sandberg, city engineer, a treatise
on pavements. Mr. Sandberg has
liad years of practical experience
with pavements of all kinds, and a
perusal of tho appended artlclo will
glvo one a clear idea of what paving
Involves. Engineer Sandberg has
treated only of those pavements bi--tulitkic,
cedar blocks and brick
which aro especially adapted to tho
needs of Coos Bay because of the
comparatively low cost, duo to the
fact that radically all of the ma
fact that practically all of tho ma
tho Coos Bay country. The artlole
follows:
ASPHALT PAVEMENTS
The original pavements were made
in Paris In 18G4 and were formed of
pulverized natural asphalt rock
Tho
European rock Is a natural combina
tion of limestone and bitumen. The
American rock asphalt as found in
Kentucky and California is a com
bination of saudrock and bitumen.
Tho artificial mixture of sand and
asphalt was ilrst used in Newark, N.
J. in 1870. Since that time It has
uecomo the best known form of as
phalt pavement and has been used
in a great number of cities, until now
.there aro more than 2 GOO miles of
this pavement in the country. Some
cities like Buffalo and Philadelphia
liavo between 200 and 300 miles
each.
Tho natural sandrock asphalt
streets have been Jald In several
cities, and comparo very well with
tho artificial mixture. Buffalo has
auout 10 miles of this pavement that
has practically needed no repair.
Front Street In San Francisco was
paved with rock asphalt in 1S90 and
has had an exceptionally heavy trafflc
hut had no repairs for 11 years.
Sheet-asphalt, as the artificial mix
ture Is called, Is commonly laid on a
live to bix inch concrete base, one
inch binder course and a two Inch
wearing surface.
liitiiminous Macadam, or Hltiililhic
Pavement.
During 1901, a practically new
form of pavement with tho
abovo namo attracted much atten
tion and has como into uso at widely
separate places. It has received fav
orable discussion in both the Engin
eering News and the Engineering
Record as well ns in a number of
other engineering journals.
Tho old stylo bituminous or tar
pavements have usually been formed
of sand and line grains of which have
no other stability or structural
strength than Is derived from tho
matrix of asphalt or coal-tar In which
they ure embedded; or they have con
sisted of tarred fragments of stono
with 20 per cent or more of void
spaces, generally placed without
systematic heating and mixing.
Tho now pavement is formed of
trnprock, or other tough rock,
crushed and screened to fragments,
varying In size from two Inches down
to dust, and combined In such pro
portion of blzes Unit tho final spaces
between tho fragments of rock do not
oxceod ten per cent. This means that
tho fragmonts must be In actual and
ilrm contact with each other and that
tho addition of ton or twelve per cent
by bulk, of bituminous compound
Will 1111 tho remaining voids and
uisiko a soMd and impervious mass.
Tho aso for tho bltulithlc pavo
tnont is prepured as for a macadam
roa'; tho earth roadbed being grnd
', drained, formed and rolled, and
.hen covered with a layer of ho best
stono avallablo which Is crushed and
Bcreonod to two Inches and larger
and Is rolled with a heavy steam roll
er Into a compact lnyor of four Inches
thick. This stono base is then
sprinkled with a thin hot bituminous
mixture which binds tho surface of
tho huso and propnres It to receive
tho next layer which la spread on top
of It.
Tho wearing surfneo Is then spread
whllo hot, and Is rolled and com
pressed to a final thickness of two
inches; this wearing surface N
formed of tho best available rock,
crushed and screened to retain all
less than two inches. This is then
dried and heated in rotary" drums and
then screened In rotary screens which
separate it into tho various sizes
from two inches down to dust. These
sizes aro then proportioned in such
ratio as shall give a minimum of
voids not exceeding ten per cent. It
is then run into a mechanical mixer
and at a tempcraturo not exceeding
300 deg. fh., mixed with bituminous
cement, in sufficient quantities to fill
all voids.
Upon this surface Is then poured
and rubbed a coating of qulckdrylng
bituminous cement, heated at 250
deg. fh., and over this Is poured a
quarter inch layer of small stono
chips which are rolled and forced In
to tho sticky coating forming a final
wearing surface.
This pavement Is also laid on a con
crete foundation. The cost of this
pavement varies according to local
conditions from ?2.00 to $2.75 per
squnre yard.
Tho opinion of skilled road-bulld-ers,
who have examined it critically
are favorable as to its durability and
value. It is recommended by such
unbiased experts as C. A. Brown,
president of tho Massachusetts High
way Association; It. A. Jones, vice
president of the Massachusetts High
way Association; Prof. A. W. Dow, of
Washington, D. C, who is quoted by
tho Municipal Journal as expressing
the opinion, based upon what ho
knew of It, that this pavement ex-
Ceeded In good qualities any other
pavement that he had seen laid
ItOUNI) CEDAR BLOCKS.
Wood used for road making or
pavement has been in use for many
years, and has undergone many
changes from the timo curduroy
roads were first built, until our pres
ent day wood block pavement, as
built since 1900, surpass others in
freedom from noise, and rank among
the best in qualities.
The round cedar block came Into
general uso In western cities about
1S80, in demand of a quick and
cheap pavement. The blocks are set
on end In close contact, on a plank
foundation. Tho Irregular inter
stices aro filled with gravel, and the
surface is then flooded twice with
coal-tar heated to 300 degrees Fh.,
using two gallons per square yard In
all, followed whllo hot with a three-fourths-inch
layer of clean gravel.
Tho cost of this pavement In Chi
cago In 1900 was about 70 cents per
square yard, and that city had at
that timo about S80 miles of that
class of pavement. Other cities
using tho samo class were Detroit,
Superior, Duluth, Minneapolis and
Toronto. Tho life of the pavement
was from three to six years.
Oegon red cedar blocks, creosoted
with ten pounds per cubic foot, were
laid in Indianapolis in 1S99 at a cost
of $2.10 to $2.50 per square yard,
including base and five-year guaran
tee, tho joints being filled with pav
ing cement and tho surface covered
with half-inch screenings of crushed
granite.
Hardwood pavements hnve been
used to a grent extent In Australia
and In England. But tho excessive
cost ($3.00 and upward, excluslvo of
foundation) has excluded them from
uso In this country. Tho cities have
now for some yenrs been using tho
treated native woods. All of those
treatments contain creosote mixed
with somo tar preparation or resin.
Tho up to date wood pavement is

constructed on a concrete base com
monly five inches thick. The blocks
are in size 4x4x6 to 10 inches. To
provide for tho expansion of the
blocks, expansion joints aro formed
along each Bldo of the pavement and
also across the street surface every
25 to 50 feet. Tho best result Is
reached when these joints aro filled
with a plastic cement.
Tho blocks are commonly placed
in courses running at right angles
to tho lino of the street, except at
street intersections, whero the
courses run diagonally..
Tho cost Is of courso different
In different localities. In Indianapo
lis blocks wore laid at a cost of $2.50
to $2.70 per square yard. Tho block
pavement in front of tho Auditorium
hotel In Chicago was $1.90 per
square yard, excluslvo of concrete
base, but including five-year guar
antee. Both of thbso pavements were
laid in 1901. Tho cost of treated
blocks laid on a six-Inch concrete
base in Boston was from $3.10 to
$3.50 per square yard. A wood
block pavement is noiseless, free
from dust, is not slippery when wet
and can be taken up and relaid
readily.
Vitrlllcd Brick Pavements.
During tho last twenty years there
has been a steady increase In the use
of vitrified brick for pavements, and
at the present time there are some
thing like 1,400 miles of this class.
Tho pavement Is constructed by
placing a 4 to C-inch concrete base,
which when ready is covered with a
sand cushion by spreading moist
screened sand over the concrete base
to a uniform depth of Xfc to 2
inches, and smoothed and brought to
tho proper crown by wooden tem
plates. Upon this the brick is set on
edge, in regular lines across the
street. The bricks are then rammed
with a heavy rammer and rolled with
a 2 y to 5 ton steam roller and set
tled firmly In the sandbed.
As a filler sand Is used, because it
is cheap and allows the brick to be
taken up and replaced, but It also
allows tho corners and edges of the
brick to chip off and also allows the
brick to settle In soft spots.
Portland cement grout, if proper
ly made and applied, is better. It
makes it harder to take up a brick
and replace tho same, but It protects
the edges of tho brick and in this
way preserves the smooth surface,
but for some reason those pavements
are the most noisy.
Paving cement makes an elastic
joint, but costs more than grout. It
Is poured into tho joints hot.
Brick pavements havo to bo pro
vided with expansion joints tho
samo as wood block pavements.
Tho cost of the pavement varies
greatly, depending upon tho cost of
materials.
