If not, these placeswould have to be supplied either from Dundas or Gait. Itis considered likely that the by-law will be submitted toBrantford ratepayers at an early date.

THE CANADIAN ENGINEER Oi. Stratfords Experience with Tarvia STRATFORD, Ontario, did somethorough and successful work withTarvia X in igio and the accompany-ing photograph show^s a section ofCharles Street in that city built by theTarvia Modern Pavement Method. Tarvia X was used as a binderthroughout the road on a Telfordbase. Although the job was done bythe somewhat primitive barrel-and-kettle method, the total cost was per yard. The Tarvia, filling the voids of thestone, acts as a plastic matrix, keepingthe stone in position, preventing all internal movement, resisting water andfrost, protecting the road against auto-mobile traffic and preventing the form-ation of dust. After its first year of use, the streetis in excellent condition and is givingperfect satisfaction. It has been visitedby various engineers, all of whomagree as to the success of the work. This is only one of thousands of in-stances of successful Tarvia construc-tion. We will be glad to send to any in-quirer a boo
