REPORTS, ETC.. RECEIVED 
Herbert J. Kellaway, the Boston land- 
scape architect, has prepared an inter- 
esting and practical, working report on 
The Improvement of the Mystic Valley 
at Winchester, Mass. It includes a plan 
of the territory which lies along the 
Aljerjona River and in the neighbor- 
hood of Mystic Lake. The report 
served the very good purpose of secur- 
ing an almost unanimous vote for a 
$90,000 bond issue to carry out the plan 
of improvement. The report was wide- 
ly distributed just before the election 
and the vote on the bond proposal was 
483 for and five against. The area to 
be improved is in reality a part of the 
Boston Metropolitan park system. 
The U. S. Department of Agricul- 
ture has just issued as bulletin No. 94 
of the office of Public Roads, an in- 
teresting report on “Progress Reports 
of Experiments in Dust Prevention and 
Road Preservation in 1910.” It is a 
very valuable summary of a great vari- 
ety of comparative experiments on 
modern road making and dust preven- 
tion that will be appreciated by any one 
interested in park road making. 
The Town of Corey, Ala., is making 
an unusual effort in building a town on 
a definite plan from the start, and the 
A Limited Supply of Asphalt- 
oilene Equipments to be 
Given Away 
W E PROPOSE to donate free of charge, packed and 
completely ready for shipment, a limited supply of the 
following equipments to all parties ordering not less than 
fifteen (15) barrels of Asphaltoilene “D ”: 
EQUIPMENT 
Special double acting oil force pump. 
Two-foot section of 1 34 inch suction pipe. 
Twenty-five feet special oil-proof rubber hose, end- 
capped with brass couplings. 
An adjustable brass oil sprayer. 
Skid or frame with adjustable clamps, equipped 
with wrought iron hooks to fit any size barrel 
to which the pump is attached. 
Box and packing. 
Shipped by freight or express. 
Asphaltoilene “D” is a I ght asphalt oil about 25 gravity, but con- 
taining the largest amount of natural asphalt in proportion to its gravity of 
any oil probably in the world, containing from 41 to 49 per cent of 
natural asphalt. 
It is used primarily as a dustlayer, but leaves a mat of asphalt on the 
surface of the road w hich effectually prefects it from wear. One treat- 
ment wi h a fraction of a gallon to the square yard is guaranteed to 
render the road dustless for a year. One treatment for two succes- 
sive years will render the road dustless for three years and protect it 
from wear and wash. 
Instead of having to wait for the municipality or township to oil 
the roads for you, you and two or three of your neighbors can get to- 
gether and buy I 5 barrels of Asphaltoilene and oil your own roadways. 
1 5 barrels will treat 1 500 to 2000 square yards. 
Send for pamphl-t. In one day, two men at $2.00 each can treat 
1 ,000 square yards.
