Preserves Roads 
Prevents Dust- 
Section of Government Parkway, Ottawa, Canada, treated with Tarvia B. 
The Property Owners* Investigation 
I N the City of St. Thomas, Ont., the property owners on Gladstone Avenue contemplated petitioning 
* the City Council to improve the roadways. They commissioned one of their number to visit various 
American cities, inspect pavements and make a report. Their investigator, M. E. A. Horton, visited 
various cities in New York and New Jersey. In his report he made the following statement : 
“I saw a ‘Tarvia X’ road in Rochester which extends from the city to the lake front, a distance 
of about six miles. It had been in use for eighteen months, and when I saw it, it was in excellent 
condition, with heavy traffic over it every day. I. . . inspected a piece of road in Newark. . . .the 
surface when finished was smooth, and to my mind was one of the finest pieces of road it was my 
privilege to see. We then inspected another piece of “Tarvia X” which had been done by the Road 
Commission two years ago .... Constant heavy traffic passes over this road every day, and trucks 
have loads of from 6 to 8 tons. Steel-tired drays were used with most of their heavy traffic. This 
piece of road, as I saw it, did not show any wear whatever, and was apparently in as good condition 
as when it was put down. 
“I did not confine my attention to Tarvia roads as I saw (here he mentioned five of the common- 
est types of road treatment) and every other kind of road that is known. 
“I must say after making enquiries from people who were in no way interested, nor did they 
know I was seeking information, that everyone had a good word to say for the Tarvia road. I 
have no hesitation in recommending it for use on our street, and at the estimate cost that has been 
given us, after seeing the many pieces of road that I have seen, I think it is the cheapest road 
that can be built.” 
“Tarvia A” for hot surface applications. 
“Tarvia B” (applied cold) for dust prevention 
and road preservation. 
Booklet describing the latest developments in 
methods for building tarviated roadways and 
pavements will be sent free on request. Address

The foregoing is quoted from the St. Thomas, 
Ont., Journal on February 20th, 1912. Since 
that date Gladstone Avenue has been con = 
structed with “Tarvia X.” 
Anyone who will investigate the road problem 
with the same thoroughness will reach similar 
conclusions. Tarvia is made in three grades : 
“Tarvia X’’ for use in constructing roads and 
pavements.
