The work Of laying down the asphaltum
block pavement on Market street, imme-
diately north Of Twelfth, will be com
pleied this morning. The work was in
progress all day yesterday, and attracted q
good deal Of attention. The section eX-
tends fifty feet north Of the line OF twelfth
street, and from the street railway track
20 the west curb. The street was dug out
TO q depth Of twenty inches, and il the
hole thus obtained a bed of broken stone,
fifteen inches in depth was placed. o.
top of this was poured cement, aud on this
again q layer Of three inches Of clean sand.
On this apparently excellent foundation
the asphaltum blocks are placed. Imme-
diately north Of this fifty foot section is
a section Of FIRE brick, fifty feet in length,
laid on a like bed Of broken stone, and
lust north Of this comes the ordinary brick
pavement. An excellent opportunity will
lhus be afforded to observe the effects Of
traffic upon the three sorts Of pavement,
and the Board OF Public Works will doubt
less obtain some valuable data from the
experiment.
