ROADS IN NATIONAL CEMETERY, ARLINGTON, VA., TREATED WITH TARVIA-A. 
Tarvia for Cemetery Roads 
The following is a significant excerpt from the proceedings of the” Association of American Cemetery 
Superintendents, held at Chattanooga a few months ago. 
At a session devoted to road problems, somebody Inquired about Tarvia. The following dialogue took place 
Mr. H. W. Ro.ss of Newton, Mass. — “I think Tarvia makes as good a surface as 
It is coming more and more into general use. Travel does not break 
it up and it lasts much longer, and it is not as liable to be slippery for the horses. 
When you get a heavy frost on the tar road it is not so hard for horses to stand as 
with asphalt roads, as horses can get a better foothold on the surface.” 
Mr. G. L. Tilton of Graceland Cemetery, Chicago. — “We have tried Tarvia, both 
the surface application and also in road construction. We used what is called Tarvia 
‘A’ — that is a surface application — and the road does very well indeed. We constructed 
about a mile and a half of Tarvia ‘A.’ .Some of it has been down for three years and 
it is in a good state of preservation, but it ought to be resurfaced, probably next year. 
We did not find it at all slippery; not as much so as asphalt. It makes a road apparently 
as good as and of much cheaper construction. We built about a mile 
and a half this year and the cost was 42 cents a square yard. We think it ought to 
last for a good many years and makes a road as good as asphalt. It is similar in 
appearance and is not damaged by automobiles and heavy traffic.” 
The President. — “That is mighty cheap construction.” 
Tarvia is ideal for cemetery roads, because it gives to the macadam surface the plasticity which enables 
them to support the transportation of heavy monuments; also because the tarviated surface is waterproof and 
hence dries quickly after a rain and is not muddy, being at all times suitable for pedestrian processions 
Tarvia reduces maintenance expense so much as to more than pay for itself. Booklet on request.
