4 Experiments in Boston with wooden
have been satisfactory on
level, stretches OF streets. But Boston
has comparatively little area Of level
street surface, and on any grade ex-
ceeding 2 per cent the wooden pave
ment, as generally laid, is as slippery
as asphalt under similar conditions.
In every other respect the wooden pave
ment Is satisfactory, being almost
noiseless. showing no wear at the end
=. g years trial, and being generally
superior to asphalt. So reports Ber- ,
trand T. Wheeler Superintendent of
Streets. Efforts are now being made !
TO overcome the objections of slipperi- ,
ness. An experimental section has
been paved with Wooden blocks notched j,
IN one side. Laid in this manner there

oint, every four inches in the pave
nent. and this is filled with Portland
cement grout concrete. 1t is expected :
by the Superintendent that this will
Temedy the trouble.
