DOVER TO MEET
PAVING PROBLEM
Some Of the COunCiImen In
cline Toward the Btu
IithiC Material

DOVER. Del. May 1s-While no de-
terminative action has as yet been
taken by the new Street and Sewer
Commission which Is authorized. II 1t
shall so deem advisable to spend as
much as Si66,000 for tho paving OF
Dovcr's bad streets. there Is a feeling
among the commissioners that the con-
tracts for paving State street and
Loockorman streets should be let with
out delay and the general preferences
for material is unquestionably a trend
toward the bitulithic.
The paving of Loockerman and state
streets, from the Pennsylvania station
all the way around TO the residence of
Senator Alice in the northern reGidenCe
section, seems TO be highly favored
10 tho extent that the commissioners
feel authorized to go ahead at once.
There are strong preferences. too.
that 1.-THE Green" and the Academy
Square should be paved around at the
same time and with the same material.
Then. IL is claimed. the matter of
paving the remaining streets as fac
as the money will go or as it is DEEM
ed wise to spend Il, can be taken UP
later and with more deliberation.
Commissioner Muncy feels firmly
convinced that while the bithulithlc
pavement is high it Is far better than
any Of the hrebrick paving viewed
and inspected by the commission. Fire
brick. after seven OF eight years. even
the best of Il. was found to become
undesirable because of chipping of tho
bricks and an occasional sinking, hers
