RECENT CONVENTION OF CITY OFICIALS IN NEW YORK ARE DEEP
LY IMPRESSED WITH OUR PRODUCT, AND IT IS BEING WELL
ADVERTISED BY THEM AS THE REPORT OF THE ENGINEER
WILL SHOW.
Again Ardmore breaks into the lime
light through the medium of Its as
phalt deposits.
Last night at the meeting of the
city commissioners the report of the
city engineer wh attended the recent
convention of city officials In T-Tew
York for the purpose of standardiz
ing street specifications was read and
ordered spread upon the minutes.
The report which follows shows
that Engineer Myers was getting in
some good work for Ardmore and as
phalt, and that the rest of the dele
gates were deeply impressed with
what they heard and saw.
The city commissioners met In reg
ular session last night but aside from
routine business of the different de
partments little else was done, a com
munication was read from the So
grave company of Columbus, Ohio,
stating that the new fire auto truck
ordered some time ago would be ready
for delivery In about thirty days.
Thl 4 truck Is to cost $1.7:u, and is
o" Hie very latest model, an order was
also issued to make the second pay
ment of $1 2.-.O. on the road building j painted. "Ardmore Rock Asphalt, Ard
machinery owned bv the city. more. Oklahoma," and on the opposite
Following is the report of City Kn- side "$127.00 Worth of Pavement,
gineer Myers:
To the Honorable Mayor and Board
of Commissioners of the City of
Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Gentlemen: I herewith hand yon
a report of my labors at the conven-
tion of city officials for the standard-
i.,: ,.f .,-Q,t aniflnntinna tioid in '
New York city. January 10th to 14th
and the results thereof.
Mr. Downai'd forwarded to me a box
of our various asphalt rock and sand
and samples of pavement - made of
same, together with a large quantity
of literature. This was exhibited In
the convention hall and created a
large amount of interest and comment
iimnnir the various delegates who
came from cities all over Ihe Vnlted i
States, 2S.1 cities being represented
by from one to twenty delegates.
A full line of the samples were
placed in the rooms of the committee
on asphalt and I was given all of one
morning to explain and to discuss the
merits of the Ardmore rock asphalt
with the result that T succeeded In
having a specification for rock as
phalt pavement placed in "standard
specifications."
t tried through Mr. Frank Fowler,
president of the association, a ier
sonal friend of mine, to get a place
on the asphalt committee, but was
unsuccessful. I think, however. I ac
complished as much good, or more, in
tho way of advertising our city on the
outside as I would have done bad I
received the sought for appointment.
I was placed on the committee on
concrete which discussed thoroughly
concrete foundations, curbs and gut
ters, and sidewalks and (prepared
specifications for the same. This com
mittee's report, after a full discus
sion by the convention nnd after a
few minor changes were made, was
unanimously adopted.
The committee on asphalt was com
nosed of six engineers nnd four chem
i.io uih rr rmi.r rtiv ni?inoor of
Omaha, chairman. T was asked for
ehemical analvsis of our asphalt.
but was unable to give it. At my re-
(quest the chemists wore instructed to
,,!.., , nnnlvsis an.l renort the same
to the executive committee of tho as -
solution later. They wore instruct
ed to report what, in th-ir opinion,
would be the simplest and most prne
tical method of determining the rich
ness or percentage of bituminous
pitch ( ontaircd in the crude material
a: delivered at the plant in order that
:i uniform product might result from
tho mixed as: halt rock
It was Tiara
to convince the committee that we
uso,i nothing but the natural stone
and sand bearing asphalt and that
we did not use any fux, nor as far as
I know, had any analytical tests of
the prepared asphalt been made as it
left the plant for the street. It wa
upon this statement that the commit
tee was instructed as above stated.
Owing to this and several other re
n.ay appear and make bid on new
plans.
' Ordered that we hereby stand ad
journed until next regular monthly
mreting. Monday, February 6th. 1911.
Witness our hand and seal this the
,irth day of January, A. D. 1911.

I
potts that are to go to the executive
til 1 111 Itioo Mm tii'inted records will
be somew hat delayed, but I think
will be out in about six weeks and
our city will get six copies.
On the last day of the convention
we were invited to stay over for the
regular tr.eetirg of the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers who were to
discuss good roads and particularly
oil ns a dust preventative and as a
binder for the top course of a mac
adam street. The specifications for
oil finished macadam approved were
almost .precisely the same as siecifl
cations I have written for S street,
southwest, except that they were
made for heavier -traffic than we will
have, and hence the pavement was
made thicker.
After receiving this invitation, I
had two boxes made divided into com.
partmontfl and filled them with sam.
pies of our asphalt, both limestone
and sandstone, and a sample of tne
completed pavement.
On one side of the boxes I had
Five Years' Use and Jiai.mi uepaiis.
One of these boxes was lett at tne
Engineering societies mulcting ana
the other at the American Society
of Civil Engineers' building.
Our asphalt, -whenever seen, ere-
ated a large amount or discussion
among tho engineers and our city
was congratulated on all sides for
having enterprise enough to send a
delegate to New York.
The following is a copy of a letter
left for me by Mr. Frank Fowler,
president of the organization. Mr.
Fowler was formerly deputy commis
sioner of public works of Chicago:
"My Dear Mr. Myers:
"Sorry to miss vou, and not to say
good bye
Your city, the smallest by popula
tion In the convention, has surely
profited by its labors as has no other.
"Your asphalt product has been dis
played and explained by you to the
many delegates, thus drawing atten
Hon to your city and section in a way
that can but. mean a bu.'U'j 'repres
sion for good.
"I am coming down o pee you some
of these days. If you hear of any
thing good, let me know.
"I congratulate your enterprising
city in having you. Goodbye.
"Yours sincerely,
"FRANK T. FOWLER,"
The following from the Rutherford
(N. J..) American, soaks for itself:
"I J. Myers, city engineer of Ard
more. Oklahoma, has been visiting
his sister. Mrs. Hunter, of Kip Ave
nue. Mr. Myers ha9 been attending
the convention of City Officials of the
I'nited States in New York. He Is
an enthusiastic citizen of th new-
state, and his town with a population
of a little over 8,000 has a profitable
municipal water plant."
Mr. Craig, chairman of the asphalt
committee, will come here and person
ally investigate our pavement In the
near future
In conclusion. I will say that l
! omitted no opportunity of advertising
mr state, and particularly Ardmore,
and that our city represented Oklano-
" a. as there were no oeiegau-s ,rum
'any other city in the state
Respectfully submitted.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 31. Following
a conference with a delegation head
ed by Representative Dan Peery of
Carnegie, Governor Cruce Tuesday
morning Issued a proclamation call
ing for an election on the proposed
Soger county. The election will be
held March 4.
The new county is to be taken
from Caddo, Kiowa and "Washita
counties and will have a population

more than 4.j0 square miles. It will
be named in honor of Colonel John
S'ger, who established the first In

the proposed county and from the
records in the different county seats
determined its taxable area. They re
