ROAD IN GRACELAND CEMETERY, CHICAGO, ILL., CONSTRUCTED WITH TARVIA X 
FOR CEMETERY ROADWAYS 
Ordinarj' macadam will not stand the strain 
of such heavy loads as are involved in the 
transportation of monuments. 
Tarvia which has gained wide favor for the 
protection of roads against automobile traffic, 
furnishes also an answer to the problems of 
heavy trucking. Ordinary macadam has a 
brittle surface, which is readily pulverized by 
heavy loads. The addition of Tarvia, how- 
ever, either by surface application or in the 
course of construction, gives to macadam a 
degree of plasticity, such that it yields slightly 
instead of crumbling under the strain. Tar- 
viated roads accordingly give superior dura- 
bility under cemetery conditions. 
Tarvia is water-proof, and a road treated 
with it sheds water promptly like a sheet 
asphalt pavement. Cemetery roads are used 
so often as walks that this feature of a tar- 
viated road is especially important. 
In Graceland Cemetery, Chicago, for in- 
stance, the roadways after every rain used to 
become covered with white sticky mud, and 
with the grass also wet, there was no way to 
move through or about the Cemetery without 
discomfort. Graceland Cemetery experi- 
mented with Tarvia and the results were so 
satisfactory that the use of this treatment has 
been steadily extended.
