DUCK CREEK ROAD, HAMILTON CO., CINCINNATI, CONSTRUCTED WITH TARVIA X 



Hamilton County's Experience With Tarvia. 



The following is an extract from the recent report of Mr. Clinton Cowan, 

 Oounty Engineer, of Cincinnati, O., to the Hamilton County Commissioners: 



"A macadam road, under ordinary conditions, will deteriorate about 15 per 

 cent, a year. 



"As the elements are far more destructive to our roads than the wear and 

 tear of travel, any material that will best withstand the effects of frost and erosion, 

 where same is not top expensive, should be used. Just now there are a number of 

 such preparations being used, the various products of coal-tar, asphalts and oils, 

 for the purpose of binding the macadam and forming a waterproof surface to the 

 roadway. 



"Our experience has been limited to the use of Tarvia as a binder. 



"We are learning that a much less amount of macadam may be used with 

 Tarvia than without. A macadam road placed upon a firmly rolled subgrade, six 

 or seven inches in depth, with the" macadam well compacted by thoroughly rolling 

 and treated with Tarvia (about two gallons to the square yard) and then covered 

 with about three-quarters of an inch of screenings and rolled, will probably 'give 

 better service as a road and last longer without repair than twelve inches of 

 macadam similarly placed without the use of Tarvia." 



"The engineer of Liverpool has been conducting a series of careful experiments 

 in the use of Pitch-tar, and reports as a result of such experiments, that the life 

 of a macadam road is extended seven and one-half times beyond that of the ordinary 

 macadam construction/' 



It is an entirely impartial report, and is typical of the experience of many 

 other road engineers all over the country.
