Rocmac will harden fpr a depth of but a quarter of an inch during the first mouth it is down, it ' stated, but dur ing the next six it will knit together to such an extent that it must be blasted to be removed; A hole where a blast is made can be quickly repaired by a man equipped with the material, a 'wheelbar row, a tamp and a shovelgiving the ma terial another distinct sdvantage in that no expensive repairing apparatus is re quired. It's cost js about 00 per cent of that 'of other permanent- materials and the service rendered equal to any other. A chemical reaction, instead of a mechan ical process caused the hardening, it was stated . . , Rocmac is a primary product of -two great laboratories and not a waste ma terial as some persons think.
