NOT A FAILURE.
City Engineer RundIett Discredits
Attacks on Asphalt.

The Iowa State Register, which is
published in Des Moines, has come to
the conclusion that asphalt paving has
proven a failure in St Paul and Mime
apolis. In consequence of it's conclu-
sion the State Register predicts that
the Des Moines paving brick manufac-
turers will receive, during the pres
ent year, large orders from ST. Paul and
other cities in neighboring states. The
editorial advertising the brick manu-
facturers of Des Moines quotes a Min
neapolis publication as authority for the
assumption that asphalt pavement is
failure in the Twin Cities The publ
cation in question has endeavored to
show, by filicitous interview with the
city engineer of Minneapolis, that the
cold weather has damaged the asphalt
pavement there extensively and seri-
ously
1t was thereupon assumed that the
asphalt pavements of st. Paul had suf-
fered equal damage. This is not the
case, however. City Engineer Rund-
lett says that so far as can be observed,
none Of the asphalt pavements of ST.
Paul have been materially damaged by
the cold weather.
"By materially damaged" said Mr..
Rundlett, at mean to an extent requir-
ing repairs. It is true that the sudden
changes incident to our uneven climate
have caused the asphalt pavements to
slightly crack in case of sudden con-
traction. Yet the injuries thus far have
been only such as affect the appearance
of the pavement It's usefulness has
never been impaired. Lock, for in
stance, at the asphalt pavement which,
has endured for ten winters on Summit
avenue. IF a section be cut out and its
thickness measured, the wear IS scarce
ly perceptible. True, there are a few
cracks which may render that pave
ment unsightly to some. but they do
not impede traffic, nor affect the dura-
bility of the pavement.
IT am convinced" continued Mr..
Rupdlett. that ii is wise and most de-
sirable that we should pave certain OF
our streets with asphalt, as expert
ence has demonstrated that such ma
terial can withstand our climate with
out being seriously impaired
