  AUTOMOBILE 
  traffic 
  on 
  macadam 
  roads 
  has 
  in 
  many 
  cases 
  confronted 
  road 
  

   /A 
  authorities 
  with 
  new 
  problems 
  of 
  maintenance. 
  

  

  These 
  heavy 
  high-speed 
  vehicles, 
  with 
  their 
  destructive 
  tires, 
  give 
  to 
  ordinary 
  

   macadam 
  a 
  harder 
  test 
  than 
  it 
  was 
  designed 
  to 
  endure. 
  The 
  top 
  surface 
  is 
  pulverized 
  and 
  

   the 
  dust 
  nuisance, 
  intolerable 
  both 
  to 
  automobilists 
  and 
  other 
  users 
  of 
  the 
  roadway, 
  

   is 
  the 
  result. 
  

  

  An 
  answer 
  to 
  the 
  problem 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  Tarvia. 
  Tarvia 
  acts 
  as 
  a 
  waterproof 
  

   binder 
  of 
  the 
  macadam. 
  It 
  forms 
  a 
  hard, 
  dustless 
  surface 
  which 
  ordinary 
  automobile 
  

   traffic 
  cannot 
  injure. 
  

  

  The 
  Boston 
  Department 
  of 
  Parks 
  reports 
  that 
  the 
  average 
  cost 
  per 
  square 
  yard 
  of 
  

   maintenance 
  of 
  macadam 
  for 
  1903, 
  1904 
  and 
  1905 
  was 
  .116, 
  or 
  nearly 
  $1,000 
  per 
  mile 
  of 
  

   fifteen 
  foot 
  roadway. 
  This 
  estimate 
  includes 
  watering, 
  repair 
  of 
  roads 
  and 
  cleaning. 
  

   Tarvia 
  will 
  save 
  a 
  large 
  proportion 
  of 
  such 
  cost 
  and 
  make 
  the 
  road 
  dustless 
  as 
  well. 
  

  

  The 
  above 
  photograph 
  shows 
  part 
  of 
  Newton 
  Boulevard, 
  near 
  Boston, 
  which 
  was 
  

   tarviated 
  in 
  the 
  fall 
  of 
  1906. 
  After 
  a 
  severe 
  winter, 
  the 
  road 
  shows 
  little 
  indication 
  of 
  

   wear, 
  being 
  smooth, 
  dustless 
  and 
  compact 
  on 
  the 
  surface. 
  Adjoining 
  sections 
  not 
  

   tarviated 
  are 
  in 
  bad 
  shape 
  — 
  covered 
  with 
  loose 
  stone 
  and 
  very 
  dusty. 
  They 
  will 
  

   require 
  extensive 
  renewal 
  on 
  the 
  top 
  surface 
  to 
  put 
  them 
  in 
  condition 
  for 
  the 
  summer. 
  

  

  Automobilists, 
  good 
  road 
  advocates, 
  and 
  owners 
  of 
  country 
  homes 
  who 
  suffer 
  from 
  

   the 
  dust 
  nuisance 
  are 
  invited 
  to 
  send 
  to 
  us 
  for 
  our 
  illustrated 
  booklets 
  regarding 
  Tarvia 
  — 
  

   The 
  Dust 
  Layer 
  — 
  that 
  never 
  fails.
