QUARRY COMPANY' Large Rock Crushing Plant With Capacity, of Over Five Hundred Cubic Yards Per Day Kept Busy on Account ' of the Demand for the Better Grade Material From These Quarries. Among the many signs -of the '"rogresN Portland Is making as a great city,: probaDiy no single feature of Improvement stands out more prominently than "better streets in all sections of the city. The forme of street improvements are numerous and variously suited to the particular lo calities where made. The on predom inant material, however, entering into the ' construction. f the various kinds of pavements which meet the neces sary tests of durability and suitabil ity, is rock in one form or another. Rook, as a general term, may include most any sort, from a soft sandstone or -decomposed shale to ths hardest and toughest trap and - basalt. For many years Portland has cut ud with tha product from quarries within' the city ltseir or situated clous, by. Hi spit ,of. ths fact that such material has . proved Inferior because lacking in nec ' essary qualifications for road pur- poses. To obtain, the best results in .road construction, rock-' must be hard atid It must be' tough two distinct characteristics though not always recognized as such. . And when used for macadam roads. It must possess. In addition, ths troperty of binding it self together-when ground to a dust under certain conditions of moisture and compression. These facta have hot been recognised and much inferior rock rock that is n&rtlallv dwrnn. posed through natural ' agencies as It occurs irt the ledges has ben used with poor results. Rock possessing the necessary qualifications fa at hand, however, in large quantities at various locations mora or less accessible, to Portland. To find desirable rock is an easy matter. To find such rock within . reach of transportation facili ties and in ledges permitting of eco nomical quarrying is more difficult. 1 ouch a condition does exist, however. L X S - Si ,.
