these oiled roads now remains green 
instead of having a whitewashed ap- 
pearance due to the lime dust that 
formerly blew on it. As to the oil 
tracking on to lawns or into resi- 
dences, would say that this is a rank 
fallacy after the first forty-eight ' 
hours had elapsed from the time the 
oil was applied. So entirely contrary 
to the facts is this idea of tracking, 
and so satisfactory has the use of oil 
proven in Kansas City and this city, 
that property owners are having their 
own private driveways leading to 
their barns and garages oiled. When 
millionaires and wealthy people with 
their luxurious homes have this work 
done at their own expense and be- 
hest, it is certainly a sufficient refu- 
tation of the charge of “tracking” in- 
to houses, on to porches, etc. 
In our town and county oil has 
been tried successfully on not only 
macadam roads but sandy and loam, 
or dirt, roads, as well. 
The sandy street, or road, just re- 
ferred to was one that formerly was 
the cause of clouds of dust on windy 
days and would cut down by wagon 
tires three or four inches in dry 
weather. Both troubles are now ob- 
viated and instead we have not only 
a dustless street, but a hard road as 
well that has packed almost as hard 
as an ordinary macadam road. 
The loam, or ordinary country dirt 
road, also referred to, has now been 
in constant use in a well traveled 
district for two years without ex- 
pense for maintenance since made 
and is apparently in just as good con- 
dition at the present time as when 
made. It probably will need a slight 
spreading of oil this fall, however. 
As to “Tarvia” it has been found' 
far from being a dust layer with us. 
We applied Tarvia to one of our 
streets less than six months ago and 
within thirty days found the dust 
nuisance as great as though it had 
never been used and our city coun- 
cil recently ordered the Tarvia oiled 
with ideal rekilts. As this was the 
first attempt to oil a road compound 
residents feared the oil would not 
penetrate it but remain on the surface 
entirely and thence be tracked on to 
sidewalks, lawns, porches and car- 
pets besides soiling skirts. Nothing 
of the kind has occurred, but on the 
contrary the housekeepers are loud 
in their praises of the results ob- 
tained and say their housework has 
been reduced one-half due to no dust.
