Esra C. Knowlton. state highBaaed way engineer, declares: on our experience In Its use, we consider this rock asphalt a sur- mlUrU, nneQual.d by any 0(her typa of b,lumlnouB material we have yet constructed. material Is a bituminous sandand stone, mixed with asphalt pressed Into hard rock. The sand was originally a marina sand of fins and uniform texture, which was covered lu some manner by a pool of asphaltic base oil. Dus to extrema underground beat and pressure, all volatile matter escaped, leaving a pure aaphaltum on top of and permeating thla stratum of marina sand. Later additional natural pressure cauaed the aand to be completely permeated by and costed with asphalt to an average of 10 per cent aaphaltum and 00 per cent allies aand. Theae particles are not merely suspended in the asphalt but every void and pore of tbs sand is permeated with aaphaltum so that a complete break down of one grain of sand gives an assay comparable to ths entire block of rock asphalt. Thus It Is, explains Mr. Klni that Provo's streets are not spot-y- , or Irregular, but will continue to get harder and harder as traffic presses them back Into their original state as first mined at " Staff n' ' 'unity 1 In-th- at ,t ProdllCCr ,rjr of project waa tha dertskan in 1080 a petition waa circulated opposing tha use of alx-mll-ea rock asphalt Though sufficient algnsra wore obtained to defeat thla first district, tha City Commlaakm went to bat" and induced enough of 50-fo- ot 14-fo- ot n u u Age Pensioners Orem Wins Top Place Old Called to Meet at Utah County Fair Called By Murdock prov0 gtake Calls First fJpnPaloffical Convention kllllday paving projects tba algnera to withdraw their name, allowing tha projected district to go forward.
