Greensburg Tests New Tarvia Road Coating
The first tarvia application on Greensburg streets occurred last Thursday. Four large boilers on wheels hauled hot tarvia from the ice plant to the road. Two colored men used three gallon sprinklers to spread the material at about 250 degrees, turning crushed stone into a nuggetlike surface before screenings are added to change color to white. A second tarvia coat followed, with further screenings for finish. Hand sprinklers proved best for careful, even coverage.
