Heinze of the Midwest com- pany, who announced that he had years’ of experience tn pavement con- struction, announced his favor of the] asphaltic type of pavement and saif that the resfient surface he delleved gave the taxpayer the best run for his money. He took issue with Mr. Pol- ton’s remarks against the safety of as- pbaltic types of pavement stating that cautious drivers found this feature no immediate vicinity. “Tt is good business to develop the resources we have at hand” he said, and take the pavement market of this Aistrict which {s open to Casper.” W. 8. Kimball, Sr., briefty addressed the forum telling of Casper's first ex- perience with asphaltic base oils in making the streets of Casper passable before the days of pavement. Hie ex- pressed his belief that the black off fields of Wyoming presented a pos: sibility of development and that the of] was equa! to or better than pave ment oils of any other part of the country. R. S. Ellison, vice-president of the Midwest company went into the pos: sibility of such a plant in Casper from the viewpoint of the company. He said that the tremendous expenditure ‘would not be warranted unless there was a real denmnd for the product. Mr. Ellison called attention to the fact that several black oil fields in| many sections of Wyoming were shut| down during the past year because of the overproduction of light ofls. He then explained the refining processes which he announced would be too costly to handle heavy oils to take a small percentage of gasoline and then | turn the rest of the product over as fuel oil. “The failure of the cement construc- tion on the Salt Creek road” he said} “first directed our attention to ad phaltie types of pavement and its pos- sibilities. The company now wants to| try the asphaltic types that can be) manufactured here under a fair test, and to thus determine the best pos- sible type of permanent pavement.” He then explained that the cost of} an asphalt plant in Casper would be approximately $300.000. Thie, he said would permit opening up new oil de-| posits and would result in thousands of dollars being pala to the oll opera-| tors of the stat ‘asper needs a servicenble jshow was staged before better or no worse than other types of pavement under the same. condi- tions.
