The Maintenance of Asphalt Streets
Since the impetus given to improved road making, through the genius of Macadam and Telford, nothing has quickened the interest or added more to satisfactory results in highway construction than the introduction of natural bituminous concrete or asphalt as a surfacing material. Appearing as a practical utility simultaneously in Berlin and in Washington, about 1876, its remarkable popularity is attested by a bulletin issued by the United States Department of Labor in 1900, reporting 30 203 946 sq. yds. of asphalt laid in 129 cities in this country having populations of 30 000 inhabitants. When it is recollected that this represents an outlay of approximately $75 000 000, in initial cost and expended during the last 25 years, the enormous proportions of this industry are apparent.
