pave Church street with asphalt is to be
rescinded. This is a mistake, as L think
that if asphalt were given fair trial here
it would come into use, for it is a decided
improvement over Telford or Macadam
pavement for streets. Other larger cities
have tried it and find it successful and
much cheaper to keep in repair. Wash
ington has miles of asphalt pavement, New
York and Boston are paving with itnow. We
have a sample of it here on Hillhouse ave
nue., over which considerable heavy wheel
ing is done, and the surface keeps in good
condition without much repairing being
done.
An asphalt company has offered to pave
Beacon street in Boston from Arlington
street to Westchester park with Trinidad
asphalt for $3.50 per superficial yard, give
guarantee to keep the same in repair for
five years free of cost to the city, and for
ten years after, for the sum not exceeding
Is cents per superficial yard. Considering
the fact that Macadam or Telford costs
about 81. so per superficial yard for con-
struction and about 25 cents per superb
cial yard for repairs each year, Macadam
or Telford would cost for fifteen years
$500 per superficial yard, against So. sc
for asphalt surface, a saving of S1.65 per
yard during the fifteen years.
1t seems as though the city of New Ha-
ven could make some such arrangement as
aboYe, which would cost them less than
the present pavements, and at the same
time introduce better and more satisfac-
tory surface for our streets, and give as
phalt chance to show by use on trav-
eled street how serviceable it is, and
whether it is practicable or not.
