Preseri/es Roads 
Prei/ents Dust- 
A road in the Metropolitan Park System, Boston, built with TarviaX. 
The Ideal Park Road 
For parks and cemeteries, the requirements for 
a proper road surface are that it shall be dustless, 
quick drying, mudless, noiseless, cleanly and dur- 
able. Tarviated roads fulfill these requirements 
perfectly. 
Tarvia may be applied by various methods. In 
all cases, its function is to act as a binder, filling 
all voids among the stone and sealing up the sur- 
face with a tough, waterproof matrix. The slight 
plasticity of this surface enables it to resist strains 
under which ordinary macadam pulverizes. The 
transportation of heavy monuments, for example, 
which is an incident to cemetery usage, breaks 
down the surface of ordinary macadam and caus- 
es internal movements which are very destructive 
to the road. Tarviated roads bear such strains 
as these perfectly, and in fact, are improved by 
such heavy rolling. The same is true to a cer- 
tain extent of park roads that are subjected to 
automobile traffic. Automobiles do not hurt a 
Tarviated surface, but tend to roll it down 
smoother. 
Tarvia is waterproof and a Tarviated road dries 
immediately after a rain and always furnishes 
good footing. 
Tarvia is made in three grades to satisfy vary- 
ing requirements: — Tarvia X, the heaviest and 
densest grade is for use in the large voids of new 
roads and is applied during construction or re- 
surfacing operations. Tarvia A, less dense than 
Tarvia X, is for thorough surface work, while 
Tarvia B, which can be applied without heating, 
is a liquid that is simply spread over an old road 
surface into which it penetrates and hardens.
