that at every other mine where work
was going on the number of workers
was largely increased. The soldiers

it is now thought that the city will get the bulk
of its work. approximatng in cost Sl,0oo,ooO
for the year 1902 at about 50 10 yard.
As has been stated before in The Tribune, the
asphalt men have agreed to reduce the price
for asphalt paving in Broadway from So % to

The city has its fight against the as

sition that unless the rates were cut in two,
there would be asphalt laid this year. That
is practically what have compelled the as

per cent more paving laid this year for the
same money than it got last year.
James G. Collins, Superintendent Of Streets
said that Seventh-ave. would be repaved with
asphalt at a cost Of between 81 % and - %
yard He added:
We have been experimenting and looking up
the endurance records of asphalt laid in Boston
and orher newfoundland cities. We find that IL
can be laid for about So - a yard with a five
year maintenance guarantee. There Is no DOUBT
whatever about the quality Of the work. The
new asphalt will have rougher surface than
the old, and for that reason it Will be better IN
wet weather. 1t differs from the old style IN
that broken rock is rolled right into the pure
