South Dakota highway commissioner W. J. Clarke told county highway superintendents that intermediate surface treatments using oil tar and similar methods offer relief on heavy traffic roads. He cited Elk Point oil mix cost around 2000 dollars per mile with maintenance 100 to 250 dollars per mile every two years, plus 800 dollars per mile annually for one application. He urged wider use of intermediate surfacing to conserve gravel, improve road quality, and avoid bond-financed pay projects, noting typical standard paving costs about 30,000 dollars per mile and advocating targeted pay projects in larger cities when traffic and funds permit.
