CANADIAN TOWN HAS IT'S
OWN ASPHALT PLANT
Project Has Been in Successful Opera
ton for Twelve Years-Re-
suits in Big Saving.

Kingston, Ontario. presents an attrac-
tive example of what small cities and
suburban communities can do in the
way of public improvements when once
the people unite and are spurred by a
spirit of enterprise. For twelve years
past Kingston has operated an asphalt
plant for walks and crossings.
The main features OF the plant are a
forty-sallon asphalt boiler. a 1Oo-souare
foot sand heater. and mixing board of
the same size.
The sand heater is a one-haIf-inch
sheet-iron plate, resting on twelve-inch
brick walls two feet high, the walls in
closing an oven. This plant cost SOS.
and IL is covered by a shed twenty by
thirty feet in plan.
To operate the mixing plant three Ia.
borers are required; to prepare the
foundation and lay the asphalt four
laborers are employed: in addition there
is on carter. The laborers are paid from
H.30 to s1.57 per day. and the carter is
paid 3 % day, making a daily labor
charge of s1274, not including the time
of the general street foreman.
In 1905 there were laid 5000 square feet
OF aspnaii crossings, at an average cost.
for labor and material, of 9.577 cents per
square yard. Planks from old walks
were used for fuel, without charge ex-
cept for carriage.
