70 .hut out competition for asphalt work and
r1ve the Asphalt Trust a monopoly Of the work
In Manhattan The Controller told them that
The subject would be brought up az the next
meeting of the board
The action consisted in the adoption Of a reso-
hutton containing the words that no asphalt
which is a product OF the disttliation OF petro-
leum oils shall be accepted for asphalt paving"
Mr.. Condlt said yesterday that the use Of
asphalt made from California crude oil had re
rucsd paving prices from an average of about
e. square yard IN 1894 to the average in
Brooklyn os 81 % in 1908. Two contracts were
given on May is OF this year at 81 30. Two
hundred and twenty-eigtt streets and sections
OF streets in Manhattan and Brooklyn are paved
with California asphalt, he said
California asphalt has been the only check
upon The Trinidad Asphalt Trust in this r1u-
nicipality." he declared. ITO bar it out is
blunder crime which win add enormously to
the cost OF asphalt paving in our city and the
burdens OF our taxpayers"
On May y. through the opposition Of the
Brooklyn authorities, the resolution was amend
ed to exempt from its provisions the Dor
oughs Of Brooklyn, The Bronx, Richmond and
Queens.
The only thing am interested in is 10 have
the best kind of asphalt put down in our
streets" said Borough President Ahearn
When we took the action limiting the asphalt
construction TO certain qualities We did il be-
heVlng that We Were protecting the city.
We can use the California product in Brook

Littleton If it stands the required tests l do
not see why 1t should be Disseminated
again.
The advertisements for the new asphalt bids
are TO appear in The City Record" next week
