Government Expert on from Washington to see Manchester Roads 
The tar-pitch-macadam process being 
used by Supt. of Streets Kimball of 
Manchester in the construction of roads, 
is attracting more than local attention. 
Wednesday of this week Privost Hub- 
bard of Washington, representing a gov- 
ernment bureau on good roads, was in 
town for the purpose of seeing the roads 
and, if possible, to obtain Supt. Kim- 
ball’s formula for the process. It goes 
without saying, of course, that he was 
unsuccessful in the latter. 
g It was about a year ago that the 
Kimball Process’’ ‘first attracted at- 
tention, when superintendents from all 
over New England came here to inspect 
the roads. Since then prominent road 
builders from all sections have been here. 
They all agree in one point,—t at Supt. 
Kimball has struck a combination that 
nobody else has yet been able to find. 
Not only is his road impervious to water, 
but it has proven that it will stand the 
wear and tear of automobiles better than 
anything else yet used; that it is practical 
and at the same time economical. 
So much has been said about its good 
qualities that a special government bureau 
on good roads, which has been _investi- 
gating roads in all parts of the country, 
with the aim of finding a_ construction 
which is practical and economical and at 
the same time that will stand under auto- 
mobile travel, sent one of its representa- 
tives to Manchester to see the roads and 
if possible to find out the constituency of 
composition. 
Some time ago the Mass. Highway 
commission senta man here for the 
same purpose, but Mr. Kimball is very 
close-mouthed as to the formula which 
he uses. 
Miss Dorothy Blaisdell entertained a 
party of her young friends, Tuesday, at 
her home on Union street in honor of 
her twelfth birthday. Games were 
played and refreshments were served, 
the young people having a merry time.
