After several years Of agitation. many
set-backs and encouragement, and at
last the success of having councils pass
the necessary ordinance rpr paving
Hyde Park avenue, II now seems that
after all no pave will be lajd. This,
too, after the contract has been award
ed. II is this very contract that de-
velops the features which will in all
likelihood either kill or delay almost
indefinitely this much-needed pave
ment.
The task of bringing about the neces-
sary petition and other preliminary
work to get the pave, the difficulties OF
securing the passage of the ordinance,
etc, have all been thoroughly dealt
with heretofore in these columns and
needs no repetition The original ordi-
nance directed that vitrified brick
| should be laid on n sand and gravel
base, but just previous to a final pass
age this was changed to sand and
broken stone base"
This fact caused some misgivings,
but under the circumstances would un-
doubtedly have passed muster SO far
as the affected property owners were
concerned. However, there seems to
pCSl 'liItI CIdHSeS OIL IL IllOTe
serious nature. The curb. which is
generally understood as being the flag
curb, is designated as Sawed stone"
| curb. A system of tile drains was also
| included in the ordinance wording.
Many of the property owners were
| against a pave because of heavy ex-
pense. This fact prevented an asphalt
| pavement. The vitrified brick met with
| a Not
enough petitioners were secured though
some doubts were expressed by those
| to whom several hundred dollars pave
| assessment would be no small burden.
| Those little changes in the ordinance
wording proved to be possibly the pro-
verbal STRAW" and the chances of the
| pavement going down are fluctuating.
The changes of base" means nine
teen cents difference per square yard:
the curb change means twenty-three
cents difference per lineal foot; and the
tile drain is a total additional cost, not
| having been figured in when original
estimates were made. A still further
| feature that is causing talk is the fact
that Sawed" curbstone is only pro-
durable at one place ereabouts, and
that at Carlucci Brothers.
AS the contract stands, the cost will
be approximately $l.42 per square yard
for pave and Go cents per llneal foot
for curb. Before it was Sl.23 per square
yard for pave, and AZ cents per linea
foot for curb. The contract was let to
the Alcatraz Paving company. osten-
| sibly of Philadelphia, but believed tc
be under Scranton capital and control
The next step in this pave question will
undoubtedly be the petitioning for an
injunction restraining the contractors
This seems certainty, as many OF the
property owners who heretofore were
very much for" the pavement are now
very much against" the same.
