The state public works depart ment, after yeara of laboratory tests, is about to begin use of a new rub ber compound to Join slabs Of ce ment on highways, both In con struction of new roads and in main tenance of existing surfaces. When cement roads first were built, there was no fixed uniformity of strips and the lack of a binding material between the stretches . of concrete often resul ted 1 n one both slabs heaving upward at a Joint and creating a rough spot. Asphalt Commonly used Moreover, expansion and contrac tion caused by extremities of tem perature had to be considered and It was found necessary to leave a three -quarters-inch space between the slabs. Asphalt was used for 1ft years to fill the joints, but It tended to exude above the edges and thus form a series of bumps. Next used was a moulded material made of a mixture of rubber and cork with a layer of asphalt on top, which, however, continued to pro trude above the level of the high way. No Heating Required The new compound Is a liquid which is packed In sealed drums. It Is not necessary to heat before ap plying. Some of It la brushed over the edges of the slabs to form a prim ing coat. The mixture then 1s poured Into the joint. It Immediately coagulates and quickly hardens to form a per manent bond which seals both the end and top of a Joint against water, sand and gravel. The compound also can be used for joints In bridge structures.. ARREST OF YOUTHS CLEARS ROBBERIES PORTLAND, Nov. 14.
