PATCHING THE ASPHALT.
Test of Concrete is Being Made on
Linden Street.

Monday night several of the holes
in Linden street between Penn and
Mifiin avenues were patched with con-
crete under the direction of Street
Commissioner O'Boyle.
The concrete filled the ruts up nicely
and restored the smooth surface of the
street. How it will endure the wear
and tear of a much travelled street re-
mains 1, be seen. The patches will be
protected until such time as the con-
crete has had ample opportunity to
set and harden.
Then they will be closely watched
by the street commissioner and city
engineer and the wearing properties
of the concrete carefully noted. The
result of this test will determine
whether concrete will be used generally
in this city for patching up asphalt.
