AAANANAAAAAAANAAAAAAANAAAAAAA ISPEET SHAD 0L AOAD AT ELSTS of Good Roads Boosters, Hugh Wear, a trip yesterday A party headed Wy of Bartow, male to Eustis, in Lake “sand-oil” county, to inspeet a piece of road built there about one year ago and which has met with much tavoranie comment on the part of road builders both as to durability. No re- pairs have been made te this piece of road, though it has received more travel than any road in the country for the reason that so many have been anxious to travel over it. The hot sun of last summer made no im- pression on it. The road resembles an asphalt road and rides fully as easy, does not rut or break. It was built of common Florida sang heated to a temperature of 250 degrees and mixed with “B"” binder oil heated at same temperature. The mixture con- sists of 16 gallons of oil to one cubic yvard of sand. This is spread op the roay and rolled with a light roller first and then with a six-ton roller, making the road three and one-half inches thick. After this a lighter is used, about one-third gal- lon per square vard and sprinkled with sand. This is called the wear- ing surface of the road anyg should be renewed every four or five years. The cost of this renewal is very small. This road should not cost over 40 cents per square yard if built by the county and not more than 60, perhaps 50 cents per square yard if built by contract. There are many miles of this kind of road in various parts of the country, particu- larly in California and those who have seen them give good report of their cheapness and durability. The party, consisting of Hugh W. Wear and J. E. Mears, of Bartow; E. S. Whidden, of Mulberry; J. E. Bryant, of Kathleen (the last two being members of the board of coun- ty commissioners); C. G. Fletcher, road overseér, and A. J. Holworthy, of Lakeland; F. E. Ohlinger and D. G. Duncan, of Frostproof; E. L. Haskins and others of Winter Haven, and T. W. Stone, of Haines city, were all much interested and satis- fied with the test the road has been given. Mr. Wear states that he is going back to Bartow to get coun- cil to put down a sample block on one of the sand streets of his town and doubtless similar experiments will be made by others. All who made the trip were of the opinion that it was well worth while the agony of mind and body endured in zoiné over the bad roads they en- countered in order to view a practi- cal and demonstrated remedy. oil Carloads of vegetables are leaving the State daily.
