win Macadamize.

The above action was taken by the
council after weeks OF investigation
and consultation with taxpayers and
contracting engineers. Both macad-
| amizing and paving with asphalt
were considered by the council but
the latter was held to be impossible
because of the great cost Figures
presented last night on asphalt by
Mr.. Dickson were for $3.50 per
square yard, which would have made
a cost of $4,000 to the owners of
Main and Court streets, and $4,000
to the city for the paving of the
squares. When the cost of asphalt
was made known the entire council
was opposed to considering that form
of improvement any further.
Under the plan of macadamizing,
the city will furnish a rock crusher
and a steam roller, probably 12h
tons, and the use of both will be all
lowed free of cost. The work of ma
cadamizing will either be let to con-
tractors, or done by the city direct
