He reported that, from extensive tests which have been made and from laboratory analysis, it has been determined thata 1. In all paving tested there is a deficienoy of asphalt. 2. Gravel aggregates in the pavement mat in most of the tests showed an excess of fines. 3. Distribution of bitumuls in all tests showed lack of uniformity probably due to improper or inadequate mixing. 4. There are some small areas of base failure and some areas where grades and drainage need correction. 5. On all new pavement where seal ooat and chips have been applied, that operation was a complete failure and must be re-done. Mr. Hart made the following recommendations: 1 1. That all the paving mat laid in 1949 by the Blacktop Construction Company, with the exoeption of certain specified small areas, be torn up by scarifying, have additional bitumuls added, be thoroughly re-mixed ~d relaid. 2. That, in cases of base failure, the City make the neoessary correction to the base. 3. That the Ci~ make necessary oorrections in drainage. 4. That, prior to soarifying this pavement, the City clean each of the streets. 5. That no oiling work be commenced until after July first. 6. That this paving be re-sealed. 39t 392 Mr. Hart's recommendation went into detail as to depth to which the pavement mat should be scari- fied, amount of bitumuls to be added, and on other points.
