(Surface Treatment of Salt Road
to Give Better Results
GODERICH. — Although no salt-
stablized roads were built in Huron
during 1937, the county has no in
tention of not continuing the
road program it started in 1935
cording to County Enigineer T.
Patterson. In future, however,
intimated that salt roads built
main roads will be used for a short
time and then will be given a sur
face treatment of bituminous mater
ial. In this way the strong, dense
character of the salt surface will be
maintained and the bituminous top
will keep out the water, thus pre
venting the road from becoming pot-
holed. A year-round hard-surface
road will result, with maintenance
cost cut to a minimum.
The first intimation that salt
could be effectively used in road'
treatment resulted from the spray
ing of roads in Nova Scotia with
salt water from tihe ocean. It was
noticed that the salt hardened the
surface and made it stand up well,
even under heavy traffic. It also
acted as a dust palliative. Salt itself
was first used on roads in Nova Sco
tia not more than eight years ago.

of the company, co-operated splen

Become Very Hard
One fault which has been found
with salt roads is that they become
very hard and if repairs are needed
it is possible to make them only af
ter a rain. A calcium road, on the
other haii||, is more easily treated
and can be scraped at any time. The
action of calciuim in keeping down
dust is due to its ability to extract
moisture from the air. Only in a pro
longed dry spell, when there is vir
tually no moisture left in the air,
does calcium lose its effectiveness.
When pot-boles develop now in
Huron’s salt roads they are filled
with a pre-mixed material, made up
of clay and gravel.

An average of about 15 tons of
