The following communication from
the city engineer of Omaha, which was
received by Alderman Mccormick, was
read and ordered fled with the auditor
! In response to your asking about oul
prices TOR paving, have TO say as follows:
Asphaltum .........f29 IS per square yard
| Sioux Falls granite r.. 2.45
Colorado Falls granite . As t. {. 81
Colorado Sandstone. 2.45 &c
| Cedar blocks. .......... LIZ
| Cypress blocks. ..-..... l.8O
We have at present S7-1o!miles of asphal
tum pavement, 3 2-l9 miles .of Sioux Falls
grauite, 3 2-10 miles of sandstone, and Oh
| miles of cedar blocks
| 1t is extremely hard for any one to state
what the best pavement is, as SO much de
pends upon circumstances. Granite is the
| most durable, asphalt the most pleasant ant
! cedar block the cheapest. For heavy bust
ness would prefer granite; for residences
! II ! could afford it, asphalt, and if not
| cedar block. None of our pavements have
beeu down long enough for US TO Judge o.
their durability by experience, but from
general observation we can form pretty
| fair idea of what will come.
! Hoping the above will be what you wish
| Very truly yours,
| GEORGE A TILLSEN,
| CITY Engineer
