The cdd system of ••oiling rontl* ami streets” Is clearly a flat failure except for a moderate Improvement of some of the worst thoroughfares. The new system of "making roads with oil*' Is proving a success whenever proper methods are pursued. The oil and natural soil no longer go where real results are wanted. The' use of the heavy ten to eleven gravity petroleum has become quite general. Its superiority has been well demonstrated, but there Is a wide dif ference Itetween differeut oils of this gravity and with the same amount of asphaltum. Some of that told Is well nigh useless,' although It la unques tionably of the s|teclfled gravity and contains the required percentage of as phalt The oil must posscsa the ad hesive quality and l»e able to bind the rock and asphaltum together—In other words, the uecesssry petrolIne.

HOAD, UEADY FOR OILING, present a surface like asphalt pave ment Is just In Its infancy in southern California, says the I/»s Angeles Times. In I'asadena there are a mim- ber of streets of this kind, notably M.ulison avenue, prepared at a cost of 12 (cuts per square foot and with a depth of seven inches of foundation. Blocks of this street arc scarcely dis tinguishable from asphalt paving. There are others similar, but some are not equal to this. At the same time they are sui*erlor to those prepared in the old way. The new method of macadamizing and oiling as laid down In & set of specifications used for a number of streets may l>e outlined substantially 1 as follows: For the foundation grading Is done by the removal of all oarHi, stone, loose rock, cement, shale, h-.rd- pan, etc., to a depth of seven inches Mow the Intended finished surface and to a farther depth of two feet be low the subgrade whenever mud, sand or other sol! material Is encountered, the spact; to be refilled with goixl earth or gravel. The whole Is rolled with a roller of not less than t'.velve tons In weight until the surface Is un yielding. all depres-ioQS made by the roller being tilled up and rolled again. All iKirtions that ennnbf'fae reached by the roller must Ik; taiu|>ed solid, and the rolling must not be done in wet weather or when the ground Is soft and muddy. This subgrade must be checked by the street superintendent before proceeding with work. On this grade a bottom course of macadam is laid consisting of stone not exceeding three inches Id diameter and not less than one and a half Inch es. This layer will be five inches in thickness and Is rolled with a twelve ton at earn roller until the stone ceases to sink under the roller or to creep in front of it. A top course of stone between throe- fourths of au inch and an Inch and a half in diameter will cover tlds to a depth of two Inches and will he rolled as before after a flrat coating of oil (one-half n gallon to the square yard) is applied evenly so as to saturate the entire top layer. Then all void* are filled In with rock screenings of the same material aa the macadam not ex ceeding three-quarters of an Inch In diameter, with a top dreaatng of tfaa •am# material laid to the depth of half an Inch, after which there la gtran a second coating of oil to the tame amoont aa before and the whole rolled and tamped oatll no evidence of the oil the enrface except aa In the color of the ecreenlngs. * la to be eprtnkied wherever any oil rematna to abeorb It Thaoe Wwclflcatione provide that oil shall be of 10 to 11 gravity, with 80 per cent asphaltum at 80 penetration and with not more than 2 per cent water.
