had proposed for this city. the structure

Floating baths would not be s~erviceable in

age. could not be used. For this reason he
prefers permanent swimming pools. which

questioned on the same subjects.
Power brakes were found more effective

Boston is beginning to pave streets with
bituminous ~macadam, the material TO be
used IN the reconstruction of IindeI and
West Pine boulevards. between Grand ave
nue. and Kings Highway boulevard. Mr..
Whyte says it is an ideal pavement. As it
IS rather & new material he is not willing
to give an expression on its durability.
Mr.. Whyte found that the universal ten
dency in the East, notably I'm New York
and Boston, is to reconstruct streets with
asphalt. Wherever granite streets are being
reconstructed, they are being surfaced with
asphalt. He noticed in New York that as
phalt thoroughfares are used for heavy
