Two California companies have a
uew system In road construction, and

method are greatly appreciated by all

California, says Will S. Little lu Good
Roads Magazine, it differs from or
dinary street or road oiling la that it
is a veritable construction of a street
out of natural soil with the use of oil.
The resultant product la in fact very
like au asphalt, lies as smooth and, It
is believed, will last nearly as long. It
Is so inexpensive as to be practical for
use in cities and upon the main coun
try thoroughfares.
This new road Is a 130 foot boule
vard, with a width from curb to curb
of sixty feet. The road is a sandy
loam, w ith some admixture of blue and
red clay, slate and gravel; is graded
and plowed six Inches deep and is
pulverized with harrows. If It la very

oiled surface Is then turned under four
Inches deep with a.turulug plow, up
to this point the process does not ma
terially differ from that lu general use
where careful work Is done lu mixing
the oil with the soil. But the next
step Is a radical departure and marks
the beglnuing of a new era In road
construction.
The process next succeeding this In
the common practice of road oiling 1
the rolling of the road, which crushes
down a thin scum on the surface that
later scales off and leaves the road full
of chuck holes. But with this new sys
tem the next process Is one of tamping.
A cylinder about ten feet long and six
feet In diameter, weighing about 6,000
pounds and furnished with rows of
flat headed teeth, Is hauled back and
forth slowly, tamping the oiled earth
up from the bottom to wlthlu two
Inches of the top. When the tamper
first goes over the road it sinks the
teeth, which are six Inches long, their
whole length In the soft, oily earth,
but by each rolling or tamping a new
layer of solid asphalt is plastered on
the bottom, and the cylinder rises a
Uttle out of the mass until, when tha
tamping Is completed, the mixture Is so
solid that the teeth no longer sink In.
There Is a vast difference between
merely crushing the surface of an oiled
road with a roller ana xampiug '
Inches of oil from the bottom up. That
difference means greater endurance for
the tamped road.
When the tamping Is brought to with
in two inches of the top the road Is w
graded, and the last two inches of loose
surface soil are cultivated and given
another gallon of oil to the square yard.
This makes three gallons to the square
yard, all applied warm, so as to sprin
kle freely; again the cultivator and
then the tamper, this time worked until
It reaches the surface. When the tamp
ing Is done the surface Is a little un
even from the marks of the teeth, but
that Is taken out by a roller weighing
two tons per twelve inches of tire. A
more perfect surface can be obtained
by a slight sprinkling of gravel before
the roller Is used.
This work costs about 10 cents per
square yard. The cost on the ordinary
street where no grading Is needed
would amount to about 80 cents a run-
nlnir font of frontage.
Several streets In Santa Monica, Cal.,
have been constructed by the tamping
system, and they have shown almost
perfect endurance. One In particular
has borne heavy trafclc for over two
years and Is now practically as It was
when originally laid.
