Rolling must be done by the contractor with a ton roller, approved by the engineer. Any depressions formed during the rolling, or from any other cause, are to be filled with one and one-half (l ) inch stone, or three-quarter (j) inch stone, or both, and screenings, approved by the engineer, and the roadway brought to the proper grade and curvature as determined by him.
