TESTING TARRED ROADS
SUCCESSFUL ROAD SURFACE. After months of close observation the Sheffield city engineer has very highly commended a number of experimental stretches of tarred road laid in his area with specially prepared and blended tars supplied by an important group of Yorkshire tar interests. “Some of these tars,” states his report, “are much superior to the ordinary standards. Many of the trial pieces which have been subject to heavy traffic present an excellent surface, which from the point of view of safety also leaves nothing to be desired.” Other exepriments with tar, notably at Tonbridge, have been equally successful.
