TWO NEW BOOKS 
The new problems of road making 
and dust prevention, now the chief 
study of park and cemetery officials, 
have been the subject of so much dis- 
cussion that a great need has been felt 
for a standard modern book that will 
be a guide and compendium of infor- 
mation on the subject, and “Road 
Preservation and Dust Prevention,” by 
William Pierson Gibson, a road engi- 
neer of wide experience, is believed to 
fill this want. The first chapter summar- 
izes various opinions on the subject, 
and tells of the conditions and methods 
in foreign countries. The other eight 
chapters are devoted to descriptions of 
the various means of treatment and 
construction with a view toward dust 
prevention, treating of moisture, oil 
emulsions, oils, coal-tar preparations, 
tar-spraying machines, tar macadam, 
rock-asphalt macadam and bituHthic 
pavement. In each case the chapter is 
opened with a description of the gen- 
eral process, followed by descriptions 
of its variations and details of experi- 
ments, giving methods of use, results.
