Cotton cloth a* a road material, used experimentally in South Carolina three year t ago, and still in service on acme stretches of highways in thig State, is the subject of a recent arti cle in The American City and it quoted in last week's issue of the Literary Digest.

The results in South Carolina, sin:e 1927, and in Texas, since 1929, already have attracted notice in for eign countries a s well as in the United prohibition fight with unclean hands. As governor cf New York he took an oath to support the constitution of the United States including the eighteenth amendment. What has he done to make that oath effective? Nothing!

As soon as this covering has been ap plied, the road is ready for trafic. “All dust, dirt, loose and foreign material must be removed for the full width to be treated, by sweeping with a revolving brcom or other ap proved mechanical sweeper, supple mented by hand brooms. Dust or other loose material in depressions or other places not reached by the me chanical sweeper must be swept out with hand brooms. # “When the experimental sections of the state highway in South Carolina thus treated w-ere inspected after the first year, it was found that the shouldeig of the highway were in ex cellent condition, and showed very little wear. “One of the principal advantages of this new method cf treatment is tke low cost of the installation and maintenance.
