California Now Leads in Asphalt Bpads A statement compiled from the public records ot the five Pacific coast states--California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona -shows that California laid more than twice as much pavement during 1922 as all four of the other stales combined Contracts were awarded for a total of 1C1.754.S52 square feet square feet of which was within- the stale California. The asphaltic lypes of pavement were well in the lead, representing Highway engineers In various parl ot the country are finding it advis able in a greater degree to repai concrete roads with asplialtic ma terials.

This is true particularly i Maryland, New York, California New Jersey, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mi souri, North -Carolina, Oklahom Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, Colorado, Texas and Canada. Concere roads are prone to develop longitudinal and transverse cracks. Everywhere there cracks are being filled with asphalt. Maryland has been resurfacing some ot its concrete roads laid in 1913 and 1914 by means of asphalt. 'Among these is'-a two mile stretch, of the Baltimore Washington boulovard near the Baltimore cily limits that was built in 1913 of 'Portland cement concrete and resurfaced with asphalt in 1919, The road from Baltimore to Camp Meade, built in 1914 of compressed concrete was resurfaced with asphalt In 1919.

In Baltimore city it is found to give some concrete a flush coat of bituminous material covered with gravel. In New York a number of concrete roads have been resurfaced with asphalt. All.told, up to 1921 eighty miles of concrete roads laid in this state from 1912 to 1914 had been resurfaced. Among these were the Cicero Brewerton road In Onon- dago county, four miles and the Moravia Lake road in southern Cayugo county.

Y. of California's new pavements were of the asphalt type. This is by far the biggest year on record in that territory for pavements using asphalt In their construction. Asphaltlc concrete pavements have been laid on the Pacific coast since 1S84. and the steady Increase In their conslruction each year over previous year is due to Ihe unparalleled record for durability and low maintenance demonstrated by this type.

notable feature In reviewing.the last year's record "Is that the cities and counties which have laid asphaltic concrete In the past and which have had opportunity closely to observe Its durability, are specifying asphaltic concrete for new pavement'. This seems lo Indicate (hat the tremendous Increase during IS22 has not been due. to a temporary rush lo a new and experimental (ype. bill rather lo demonstrated by a tried and proved pavement The pains concrete surfacing fcn various (ypf of bsfos and In asphalt and oil a a a pave Tiose The The totaPrbail mileage for the state is now 75,389 miles compared to miles in 1914 Springfield.

all things considered sustained less damage from the ravages'oE winter than had been feared by. the department streets and engineering. According to a careful appraisal by Deputy Superintendent 'Arthur Woodward the amount of the damage to that city's pavements will not exceed $12,000. Not that the pavements ot Springfield escaped practically unscathed. On the contrary, Mr.

Woodward said that it had been a hard winter on all classes of pavements except those of the sheet asphalt type. The asphalt pavements weathered the winter well The sheet asphalt pavements, of which 10 miles or more have been laid in Springfield during the past nine years, came through the winter almost wholly unscathed, showing little. If any. signs of wear. The superiority of sheet asphalt pavement having been proved for this reason the Spriugfiejd department of streets and engineering intends to build more of this type in the future.

This year it Is the Intention to build at least four miles of asphalt road. Gain In Asphalt Streets and Roads According to an announcement by J. E. Pennybacker, secretary of the Asphalt Association. New York, a total ot 82,700.000 square yards of asphalt paving were laid upon American rouds and slrcets last year.

This is equivalent to 7.S31 miles of highways, eighteen feet wide and sufficient to build an asphalt road eighteen feet wide from Augusts; to San Francisco, thence to New Orleans. and north to New York, it represents an increase of 14,000,000 square yards over the yardage laid in 1921.

The oils, tars and asphalts to be used by department would give two coats ol paint to a roof large to cover the cities Pittsburgh and AN toona. The State Highway Department recently opened bids for stond and bituminous materials.

Bids are asked on 405,328 tons of stone and C.274.1G4 gallons of materials for road treatment. The stone will be used in resurfacing and in repairs to macadam highways. Of the bituminous materials 1,669,112 gallons are for use in the building of penetration macadam thoroughfares by the department's maintenanco forces, and 4,578,052 gallons are foi; surface treatment. The huge gallouage of material will fill 7S5 tank cars, of 12 trains of 70 cars each. The to be bought will make up into 11J trains of 100 cars each.
