Toronto, eight weeks ago and on the Beudley-Bailiebom high- nay in the \icinity of Port Hope, with great satisfaction The chem- ical analysis , show that it is com- posed of 18 per cent calcium, 9% per cent sodium, 5 per cent mag- nesia, 3 per cent m'meral oil and the balance water. 'With the re- sults obtained so far, it iiaexpected that. this chloride dust yer will become the leading road spray es- pecially on rural roads and in the smaller urban centres where pav- ing is prohibitive owing to its high cost. - It. is estimated that the cost of spraying will he in the neighbor- hood of $200 'a mile, in comparison with about $600 to $800 with oil, and with its cleanliness it will make a real .hit with the house- wives: especially in the towns. .As is usual in these things. the Provincial Highways Department. were testing it. out, and the seven miles south of Durham was one section or the province chosen for a test. It. is quite needless to say that this portion of the Provincial Highway will be closely watched this summer, fall and next Spring for results. ed successful, and a only a fraction of the cost of oil, with none of its dirt. and grime. On Monday - our party followed in the wake of the spraying machine" with. no bad effects on the car, and later we went. south as far as Orchard lWhPI‘P the liquid had been applied earlier that. morning and tested it as to depth of penetration. In a matter of about. four hours the liquid had penetrated to a depth of considerably over two and a} half inches and where before had been nothing but. fine dust to be stirred up by passing cars, there now was a coating of this same dust which could in no manner be persuaded to fly about as it did before the application was made. _ _ --- w â€"â€"â€"v vcvnt VL UIIU UUD In Another point to be considered is that one application will last all summer: With the flake calcium chloride, it‘ the season happens to be. a wet one. too much mud is created; this new dust layer, while it. takes moisture from the air, will repel water, and, as a result, roadways so treated never become in the same condition as calcium treated roads. Absorbing the moisture at night this new dust layer drys out with the heat of the sun during the day and in so «loing the roadway becomes bound together, and at no time is there .any dust. it. is claimed that the, treating of roads in this manner' is economical of upkeep. With the «lust flying over the surrounding country it is estimated that over an inch of our roadway is scatter- ed over the adjacent fields each year: by using this dust layer, binding compound, the gravel re- mains on the roadway and in time is so bonded together that it pre- sents a surface like unto pavement. An Experiment 80 Far The use of this new material is practically only in- the experi- mental stage, but in the different places it. has been used it is claim- One Visit Convinces Last Saturday The Chronicle re- ceived a telephone call from To- ronto from Mr. R. 1. Henderson, the president of the Ontario Salt and Chemical Co., on whose pro- perty the well is located, that this work was to commence here on Monday and asking that we go down and see it applied. Not wish- ing to be alone on the inspection, we toOk Mayor Murdock and Reeve Bell along with us, and what we, saw was a revelation. The dust layer is to all appearances plain, ordinary water, and we were told that it is just as it comes from the well. Cattle can drink it, it lays the dust, kills the weeds, and binds the roadway until in time it becomes almost as hard and good as pavement at a fraction or the cost. The dust layer comes in a liquid form just as it is pumped out of the well a short distance north of Toronto, and an analysis shows it to contain calcium chloride,, salt and mineral oil in certain per- centages which makes it an ideal product for its purpose of laying the dust. It is put on the highway in the same manner as the oil was sprayed on our streets this spring, but has several distinct advantages over oil in that it can be driven over immediately after application is not picked up by the car, and as it is applied under air pressure, sinks immediately into the ground to a depth of two or three inches. Besides laying the dust, this new liquid is said 0 he a road binder, and from this week’s experience here it is all that has been claimed for it. On Monday and Tuesday of» this week the Municipal Spraying 00., under the supervision of Thomas Jones of Toronto, laid an applica- tion of dust layer on the Provin- cial Highway from the spur line at the south of town to the Orchard- ville corner, seven miles south. So far, this new dust layer, which is still an experiment, has lived up to every hOpe and the result will be. watehed with much inter- est until fall.

TEMPERATURES 0P PAST WEEK Every standard hotel, states an- other regulation, shall have placed over its” main entrance 3 Sign bearing in legible characters the name of the hotel. and in smaller characters the subsign “Licensed as a Standard Hole.‘ under the Liquor Control Act.” “No standard hntel license." reads one regulation, “shall sub- let any portion of hotel premises. except with the board’s permisâ€" sion.” Another regulation reads: “On the inside of the door of every guest room in every standard hotel situate in every city or ”town of 5.000 population and over, there shall he posted a notice. showing the rates charged for use of said room. and whether said rates are on the American plan and include meals. or are on the European ,plan for use of said room only.

ACT days ago it was no surprise the locals journeyed to Fergus to play the return game that they were defeated 13-1, the round going to Fergus 19-2. 011 the play there was little argument a ‘ was the better team, c periority at all times, both in team- perioriiy at all times, both in team- play and in their knowledge of the game. Durham has yet two games to play with Urangeyille here and at the latter town, but as her" del'eaed ()rangeville right in their own balliwick nothing short of an earthquake can stop them from coming out on t0p in this district. The defeat of the Durham team was not altogether a surprise as they had failed to get a grouinng until two or three weeks ago and were in anything but condition to go th whole route. While they gergus in spells their lack of local team, and without any par- it could not be. expected that they would do very much. There is the making tol‘ a team in the twelve which re- presented Durham, but it gets back to the long-known fact that this thing of recruiting players from surrounding municipalities does not bring results. It matters not how good the individual player may be, it‘ they are not on hand to (levelep team play, they stand little chance against twelve men who have been working together, know what each is going to do, and thus have an advantage. y . 11m.
