A STORY AND A MORAL.

A gentleman who has recently visited
Europe informs the Record Union"
that in the city Of Berlin he saw btu
minized rock streets that had been in
use by heavy traffic for ten years, and
yet We're as smooth as a floor. and as
surface level as still water. But here in
California bituminized street humps
itself up in the first year, gets to be a
rolling ocean of wavelets in the second
year. and bursts into breakers in the
third year Instance-the ups and downs
Of K street, the corrugations and pit
falls of Tenth street, and the hills and
dales Of Golden Gate avenue. San Fran
cisco.
Determined to know the why and the
wherefore of the wide difference in re-
suits of laying bitumen, this Yankee
Californian made inquiry. In answer to
his appeal for inform alton, he was taken
to a park where workmen were engaged
in laying a section of bituminized
street. and there he entered upon a
the workmen use only the best cement
for the substructure, and small, well
broken stone for the grouting. The mix
ture is not put upon the earth until the
latter is long puddled with water, and
rolled, and rammed until it is as hard
as brick. Then the substructural ma
terial is put on very plastic, and is
rammed. and rammed, and rammed,
as hard as rock, and the water in it has
been expressed upon the surface. Then
it is carefully preserved from even slight
contact or injury until it is as dry as a
bone Then the bitumen is fioated on
precisely as it is laid in Sacramento.
The result is a street that never gives
away; it never humps itself; it tends
strictly to the business of keeping level
and smooth, and after ten years wear
is about as good, even and firm, as the
first day it was put down. These thrifty
German workmen never cracked a smile
when they informed our Californian

as substructure, is a great deal
cheaper, results considered, than any
other that can be put in, unless solid
stone is excepted.
Those poor ignorant Germans did not
know the ways of municipal politics, mol
anything about rake downs or con-
tract lettings, or front foot assessments
nor how to make things go to pieces
SO as to give employment to favorites
in making repairs, nor anything about
the American push" nor ward
bosses nor the lightning striking
American contractor. If they had, they
they would never have been so asinint
as to declare that it is cheaper to make
a roadway that will last than to con
struct one that will wear out between
elections.
