This decision was brought about
after conference with the engineer
whom the county road commissioners
have employed, Mr. Birley. OF Detroit,
who was present at the meeting ana
gave the council all the information
and advice that they asked for. Mr..
Birley declared in favor OF macadam
and estimated the additional expense OF
NJ tar macadam as about l2-cents per
ward which is insignificant compared
with the benefit that would accrue
from its use.
Mr.. Birley passed judgement upon
the different kinds OF rock that the city
authorities are now endeavoring to get
a supply OF. Just when the work OF
crushing and spreading rock VIII com
menoe has not been determined but IL

has the money with which to pay the
(. claim there was no sense In letting an
, interest charge stack mp on 1t.
