report of Homer Hnmlln, city engin
eer, to the hoard of public works of
Los Angeles, made last year. The re
port shows unsatisfactory results of
this form of construction In varying
climates and binder adverse soil con
ditions, nhd confirm the conclusion
that petrollthlc pavements do not
make a permanent, durable road lm-,
provement, and that cheap materlnls
and cheap methods produce cheap
pavesements. and that the latter mean

repairs ultimately resulting In many.'
times the cost of building and main-.

Mr. Hamlin's report Is as follows:
civic matters.
"About Janunry, 1903, the prac
tice of "surface oiling stfeets began
in Los Angeles. It was then believ
ed by many that the one needful road
j material had at last been discovered.

as a qusi pnniaiive nnu ior ointung

but who can point out a surface oiled
street, graveled or natural soil. In this ,
tchy, which has remained In good con- i
: dltlon after a few months of heavy

lone that merely oiling the surface of

chuck holes. It seems to be Impossi
ble to repair surface oiled streets in
a satisfactory manner at a reasona
ble cost, and the consequence is that
they have not been repaired.
"About April, 1907, the petrollth-'
Ic process of street Improvement cam'" '
into use In this city. When soli con
ditions, surroundings and grades are'
favorable, this process Is unquestion
ably somewhat of an Improvement
over surface oiling.
"Several streets In the city were
Improved by this process under speci
fications suggested and approved by
the promoters. The work was thor
oughly and carefully done and fully
up to specifications, or better, but
these streets have failed completely.
"When first exploited, this process .
consisted of simply mixing the natur
al soil of the street with heavy oil
by various methods, and finally tamp
ing the top four Inches solid with a
special patented roller called n roll-'-Jng
tamper. It soon developed that
different soil conditions hnve n very

Whether you want it lor a home or as an investment, ;0f tho roadway produced, in general.
It may be assumed that a gravelly ,
soil with a proper proportion of
fine sand and clay to act as a binder'
will make the best road. If soils are
not properly graded from coarse to
fine, there Is a probability that the
roadway win not be stable, but will
roll and wear Into ruts and chuck
boles. There Is also a very great
difference In tho capacity of different

stone making littlu difference In this
respect.

Is called for In tho specifications, and .
less In others. No one can know this
or make any allowance, therefore, be
fore tho oil Is on tho ground, nnd
then It la too late to remedy tho mat

water In tho soil makes a great dlf
feronce In tho final result, especially '
If a street Is flooded during construc

not harden for a long time, and may
cut up Into ruts boforo it does.

the results of this method of street
