USE CONCRETE
ON NEW STREETS

The Street and Sewer Department
and Street Commissioner Pierson are
watching with much interest extensive
experiments with concrete street paw
ing, which the department is now
making. The experiments so far have
proven most successful, both from the
standpoint Of durability and economy.
Christiana street and Porter street
from Linden to Maple, have been
paved with the material, while Mont
gomery street, from Fourth to Fifth.
has just been finished and work is
under way on Wilson street from Sew
.enth to Eleventh. Eighteenth street
between Woodlawn avenue and River
view avenue, in the Highlands. has
been graded and viii also be paved
with the material.
All that remains to fully test the
paving is severe winter weather and
if the concrete survives. it is probable
that the department will use it extern
sively next year.
