Preserves Roads \ 

 Prevents Dust- 



State Road, Watertown, Mass., Built With Tarvia X 



Watertown's Experience With Tarvia 



The following is an excerpt from the 

 1909 report of the Highway Department of 

 Watertown, Mass. 



"By a vote of the Finance Commission, 

 we were authorized to spend $1,000 for dust 

 laying purposes. The superintendent de- 

 cided to try a dust preventative manufac- 

 tured by We purchased a quantity of 



this under a guarantee to give us satisfac- 

 tion. It was applied to Galen Street un- 

 der the direction of a representative of the 

 Company. Twc weeks after the applica- 

 tion the street was as dusty as ever. We 

 decided this was not as represented to us, 

 and returned the balance not used. 



We also purchased from the Co., a 



quantity of oil which was applied under the 

 direction of a representative of the Co. 

 This proved unsatisfactory on account of 

 the oil rushing to the surface after every 

 rain and leaving the street in a very muddy 

 condition for days. We had many com- 

 plaints in regard to this, and finally were 

 obliged to give the street a thorough scrap- 

 ing to remove all the surplus material. 



We next tried an application of Tarvia, 

 covering 2991 square yds. at a cost of about 

 $.033 per square yard. It has not only 



proved to be an excellent dust layer, but 

 a street preservative as well, leaving the 

 surface in a smooth, hard condition. One 

 application of tarvia is sufficient for one 

 season, and the same streets if treated with 

 another application the following season will 

 require about one-half the quantity. We 

 were so well pleased with the result of this 

 application that we ordered 20,000 gallons 

 and applied it on various streets a total area 

 of 47, 970 square yards; thus, in our opinion, 

 saving the town a large sum of money 

 which would have been necessary to expend 

 in the near future for repairs. 



We recommend the extensive use of 

 Tarvia next season. " 



This report is not unusual. Road en- 

 gineers everywhere have learned that 

 tarvia prevents dust and preserves the 

 roadway and that it is superior to any other 

 preparation offered for this purpose.
