WEST WEBSTER STREET, CHILLICOTHE, MO., BEFORE TAR- SAME STREET AFTER TARVIA TREATMENT. 
VIA WAS USED. 
time the surface will withstand the trans- 
portation of heavy monuments. Graceland 
Cemetery, in Chicago, began in 1909 to 
tarviate its roads, and now has completed 
the treatment of its entire system. 
Government engineers have been using 
tarvia largely in the roads about Washing- 
ton, the White House driveway having been 
maintained with this material since 1911. 
Undoubtedly the use of tarvia-reinforced 
roads is still only in its infancy. The auto- 
mobile has already spread over the conti- 
nent and the motor truck is fast following. 
The latter is already a serious problem in 
England and in some of the most congested 
centers of the United States. 
The more efficient the motor truck be- 
comes the larger loads it will carry, and 
the greater will be the burden it imposes 
on the roadway. Motor bus and jitney, 
w'hich threaten to become a serious com- 
petitor of the street car, also bring their 
problems. The public, since it maintains 
the right of way gratis, is interested in fur- 
nishing the new traffic-proof surfaces. 
Accordingly, it is easy to prophesy that 
plain macadam without bituminous treat- 
ment will become everywhere a thing of the 
past as it has already in many localities. 
Unfit for modern traffic, it must be dis- 
carded in favor of roads that are firmly 
united by some plastic bituminous binder 
like tarvia.

FORM OF NOTE. 
Rochester, N. Y., 10. 
M 
Dear 
We beg to advise you that your note for $ 
(including interest) w 7 ill be due and payable at the 
Alliance Bank 19.... 
To avoid expense and inconvenience of placing 
note with bank, kindly pay same at our office at 
cemetery, any day previous to above date. 
Respectfully, 
Riverside Cemetery Association. 
(On making payment, please present this notice) 
The number of lot purchasers who have 
discontinued payments on these contracts 
is nominal, although, as might be expect- 
ed, many have renewed their notes more 
than once. We have never resorted to 
any other means to collect arrears on these 
contracts than personal persuasion by cor- 
respondence and interviews. We have 
never removed a body from a lot because 
of non-payment of amount due on lot, 
neither do we know of any such instance. 
I do not know the law of this state on this 
point.
