No, not quite. There is a lot of rubber in a rubber road, but not that much. The advantage, according to the people who make the rubber and asphalt mixture, is that roads last much longer. They have nearly twice as much resistance to breaking and stand up better In extremes of hot and cold. â€" Engineers have been watching a stretch of rubber and asphalt read in Holland. German soldiers marched on it, and the Allies armies chased them back along it. The road has had hardly any work done on it in 15 years, yet is still in good condition. * Experiments have only recently started here, although the first rubber read was laid in Singapore in 1929. â€" There are, three . stretches of tubber road in Canada that ! have record of, one is le Marchant Road in St. John‘s, Newfoundland, and the other two are in the province of Quebec. * Since cors were first made, tubber, both . natural and synthetic, has made the ride smoother.
