Clapp. FOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT IN WYOMING WITHOUT IMPORTING IT Two classes of roads can be built in Wyoming without going outside the state for material. also has crude material for another class but the preparation of the crude into the finished material is too costly for present consideration, The ordinary macadam road made of crushed stong can be built prac- tically any place in the state from materials at hand and the work of preparation is merely nominal, Un- fortunately while the macadam road- bed makes an excellent road for slow moving traffic and vehicles with iron tires, it has proven wholly unsuitable for use as an auto roadbed. | The reason for this is that when the automobile tire pe S over a sec- ton of roa the tire flattens out a little, sometimes this flattening out is so slirh* that it cannot be noticed except by close examination but it is there just the same. As the broad tread of rubber leaves the road it again rounds out to the origmal form of the tire and at th> same time this rounding out creates uction just as tho a small air pump was sucking un the dust on that particular few square inches of roadbed. This suc- cylinders or kilns about 60 feet long by six feet in diameter and these and the other machinery of such a plant puts the cost out of reach just now. There is another type of roadbed, however. which is excellent for the needs of this state and at the same time requires no material that the state itself cannot furnish. Thi the oil btd road. These r not made by simply pouring oil the surface as. some suppose but a sort of asphaltic cement is manufac- tured that acts as a binder to the aggregate that forms the road cover- ing. Unlike dny of the other good road materials like asphalt, cement, or tar, the oil bed roads can be manu- factured wholly from products of Wyoming without much expense in the preparation. Oi] bed roads are made from heavy petroleum oils, cer- tain clays and broken stone and af- ford one of the best highways for auto traffic ever put before the pub lic. All the above material for oi] bed roads can be gotten together in almost any part of the state without much trouble or expense. In laying the oil bed road, the clay and oil are mi in a mixer pretty tion is strong enough to pull out the | much nt and sand is m small particles of crushed stone and in the ri when the clay 2 gravel from between the larger pieces oil becom lack plastic mass like so that shortly the road that is built aspha’ the stone crushed so that of n am only appears to be made stones and these soon work se and make the surf: uneven and hard for all kinds of travel. This is the main objection found against the macadam road altho this form was considered the best to be had until a few years ago. It simply will not stand up under auto traffic. Concrete roads could be made with material produced in Wyoming but the cost of starting a cement mill is very heavy and especially now- with the price of iron and steel products so high. The cement is made in long the pieces will s thru a two inch ring, is then mixed in and the whole | aggregate spread ‘out on the road which has been rounded up to the grade as ordered by the engineer in | charge.’ The material is then rolled | to grade with a heavy steam or | line roller and covered with a sand sweeping. | Instead of the automobile wheels | ruining the surface of an oil road bed, the passing wheels of the cats | act like a hot iron on a piece of damp goods.
