Last winter, the Street Commissioner of Somerville, Asa B. Prichard, wrote as follows : 
Late in the year 1906 several streets were coated with “ Tarvia,” a product of coal tar. 
This proved to be so successful that in 1907 “Tarvia” was used to some extent on old 
streets as a surface and on new macadam as a binder. 
In the year 1908 twenty streets were constructed with “ Tarvia,” and many requests 
have been received from abutters on other streets to have their streets so constructed. 
Very respectfully, 
(Signed) ASA B. PRICHARD, Street Commissioner. 
During the present season 200,000 square yards of macadam have been treated with Tarvia 
B to the great satisfaction of the inhabitants and over 50,000 square yards of macadam have been 
built, using Tarvia X as a binder. The streets built or treated with Tarvia vary from the quiet 
residence street, made clean and attractive by its use, to the great thoroughfares of Broadway and 
Highland Avenue. Tarvia is used in Somerville as a business proposition. It is economical and its 
use gives the citizens the kind of street they wish. The proof of its success is its continued and in- 
creasing use.
