California Oil Roads Transform Dusty Highways
The article explains California’s pionee ring use of crude oil and asphalt residues to build durable oiled roads. It covers preparation of the road bed, heating oil to 175–300 degrees, costs per barrel from 65 cents to $1, and per mile application costs around 15 dollars. It notes Alameda between San Jose and Santa Clara as a 60 foot wide oiled stretch and compares oil to asphalt and granite in cost and durability. It includes a public school joke about a volcano analogy for a lesson.
