The paving plant for the Warren
Construction company haz not yet ar
rived, and az a rezult the company
will be unable to have the street in
front of the fair grounds paved before
the fair is held.
81 am sorry we cannot get that
block paved after having promist the
fair commission to have it ready"
said Superintendent Shewry this
morning, but owing to the delay in
the arrival of the plant we simply
cannot get the work done. Under or
dinary conditions the plant would
have been here some time ago, and
we would now have it at work"
The paving plant is a large thing
and requires several carr to haul the
same. The one for this place and
one for Boise were shipt from the east
some weeks ago, and tracers have
been sent out to ascertain where they
are now
However, the delay in the arrival
of the plant is not working any hard
ship on the paving company at prez-
ent, for the reazon that they now have
ample time in which to get the street
grading done and crush the rock to
uze in paving. According to Superin-
tcndent Shewry the rock crushing IL
the big problem, AZ a layer of rock six
inches deep il to be placed on all the
streets to De paved, and consequently
many hundred thouzand yards of
crushed rock is needed.
Az fast az the corck IL crushed it IL
hauled to the side streets and placed
in readiness for use when paving
starts. BY placing it on the side
streets the company is required to
handle it a second. time. but the streets
are not blocked as they would be if
the rock were placed on Main and
Court streets.
To-day the steam roller and breaking
plow has been at work on the lower
portion of East Court street, and with
in few dayz grading will commence
on Main street. In removing the dirt
from the block now torn up. the big
eXca"ating machine will be uzed.
Labor Is Scarce.
I'VE should have from so to 100
more men ct work than we now have"
declared the superintendent, "but we
simply cannot get them. Many of
thoze who start start to work win
quit after the first pay day. and if
they return again it will be after a
drunk, 'and it requires several dayz
for them to become any good again.
Yesterday was pay day, and this
morning six or seven of the men fail
ea to appear"
