Mr.. A. Ochlander, a large con-
tractor who is now engaged in grad
ing on the Choctaw & Arkansas
railroad, is here and tells us he is
opened to a contract to grade and
rock Broad street at $1,000 a block,
with gravel rolled and crowned up in
the middle so that the water will
run off in the cutters. Mr.. Och
lander has had experience in road
making and street paving all oyer
Texas, and points out S500,00 of
work done in Waco, $3.50, 600 in Fort
Worth, as well as San Antonio,
Dallas and other cities. He wants
to take the contract for a single
block if for no more, to show the
people what he can do as a road
builder. We have all along prefer
red vitrifed brick as the material to
pave Broad street with, and think
that our city should yet use brick;
but, if too expensive, then use the
gravel. Let our aldermen invite
MIR. Ochlander to appear before
them and interrogate him as to the
cast of street paving with different |
kinds of material
