One Square of 1t.

At yesterdays meeting of the Board Of
Works City Engineer Jeup asked for and
secured permission to experiment on one
square Of the block paving on North Merid-
ian street with view to demonstrating the
possibility of keeping water from getting

His plan is to cover the surface with a
layer of sand, coal tar and asphalt about a
quarter of inch thick. filling up all the
holes and making the old pavement water
proof The experiment has proved success
full in Oakland, Cal, and Detroit, Mich,

dry weather to take all the moisture out
of the blocks. the work will be done. 1t
will require only about a day to do the
work. and it will furnish an idea as to what
pavements similarly.
