Oregon. , Dea, Sir: I understand that your city is contemplating making some Improvements on your streets by placing a bituminous dressing on a stone foundation. We can only learn these things by our own experience or by the experience of others. I hope you will pardon the privilege on my part of giving you our experience In this matter. Last season we laid some macadam streets In residence districts and undertook to experiment to see ir we could not construct a cheaper roadway for residence streets than hard surface pavements. Con sequently we experimented on one block at the city's expense. After placing the crushed stone on the subgrade according to the usual mac adam specifications of graded stone, we added one and one-half gallons of hot asphaltum, on which we placed halMnch fine rock and thoroughly rolled It. On a portion , of the bloc we placed an additional coating of asphaltum and a sprinkling of fine rock and rolled to a finished Bur face. It made a very nice appearing surface at the time, but It has been down less than a year and we find it is a failure. To begin with, It Is impossible to place hot asphaltum on cold stone and get a union. The as phaltum surface Is like a saddle blanket over the entire block and is apparently not bound at all to the rock base beneath. I was on the street today and th9 wearing surface Is apparently all gone , where the travel occurs. In many places the coarser rock of the foundation has worked through 'to the Burface and is not betterthan the balance of the macadam street. From this experi ment we have adopted the policy of macadamizing outlying streets which are not practical to pave until the property owners are satisfied that they want hard surface paving. We are progressing well, I think, In our work and I hope soon that we will be at work laying hard surface streets. In regard to Third street will say that the pavement will ex tend the full length to I street and 10-foot sidewalks the whole length. I would be glad to hear from you et any time from your practical ex perience in matters which are of in terest to us" in our public improve ments.
