The Los Angeles Times reports oil bound macadam roads in Pasadena and nearby cities show superior durability to old oiling methods and asphalt. Specifications call for 10 to 11 gravity oil with 80 percent asphaltum, layered with a gravel top, rolled and tamped to set beneath rail weight. Consul Norton notes a Saxon coal tar oil mix used on Leipzig streets creates a dustless, odorless, black coated surface that withstands heavy traffic and resists disintegration.
