It was in Ontario that the practice of putting on
gravel orr crushed stone in thin layers wasfirst
proven to be more economical as well as more
safe to traffic. "Feeding the road” it is called.
The practice has spread beyond Canada and now
is followed in many of the United States.

hot asphalt mixed with gravel or crushed stone.
