At the Good Roads Convention in, . Toronto last week, Mr. T. R. Patter- son, Huron's Engineer, Teed the fol- lowing paper: "The ingredients". comprising gravel road surfacesreceived little scientific attention, until high speed traffic, and the, use of calcium chloride, made it pparent ,ethat there was a ',deficiency in , many road gravels that should be remedied. Prier to 1930, road authorities were. in many cases, too busy constructing high cost pavements to give much at- tention to the humble gravel road, and the general idea prevailed that tha gravel road was a type that must be endured until it could be replaced by a pavement. It became obvious; how- ever that a limited number of roads would be paved, and, that all lightly travelled roads would have a gravel surface for a long time. The studies which' took' place resulted in the pro. cess known as stabilization. Much has been written on merel road stabilization, and as I have very little to offer that is new in that re- spdet, I shall not go into detail a re- garding thiseptocesse but shall -men- tion simply changes in practice which the work in this county may indicate OTconfirm. - In 1934 and 1985.the County of Huron constructed 40 miles of stabi- lized roads, .Using calcium chloride, and in 1936 10 miles nf salt treated road was completed. The methal of stabilizing with salt was the same its that commonly used, and,' after treat- ing the gravel and elays, it was de- cided to Aso 7$ cubic yards of clay. per sage.*1ieb....g4veakPlaeticitst in- Lre_to-the.fiaighe&raix. The clay, was distributed' along the .side of the existing gravel surface and ofter it became dry in the sun. it was pulverized with farm implements and by rolling until it was powdered. Cost of Salt is Low . Fine salt was used, and sprinkled over the old gravel surface at the rate of fifteen tons per Mile. Salt is a beat product in Huron, and itS gest is low, so theta heavier application was used thati-ntight be advisable elsewhere. The road was then scarified to a depth of two and a half inches with It power grader, after which the clay, salt, and gravel were thoroughly -mixed with the same machine. Water Was,appliel with a pressure distributor to about • one-half o,f our work• and the balance moistened by rain. During hot weath- er it in necessary to haul an enormous geantity of water to provide sufficient moisture, and on one anile section, 40,-. 000 gallons of water was sprayed, stial even then the mix Wise too dry before laying was completed.
