TOWN OFFICIALS INSPECT
STREETS In HARRISON.

STREETS In HARRISON.
Members of the street committee of
the Kearny Town Council, with Town
Surveyor Harry p. Kreiner. yesterday
afternoon spent several hours inspect
ing macadam streets coated with taNnla
that had been laid in the last couple OF
years in Harrison with a view to learn
ing o such pavement withstood wear.
The committee has not yet determined
yhatp pavement to recommend for ayis
avenue, Kearny, a strip of 5000 feet,
on which the pr~operty-owners had peti-
toned that a telford pavement be laid.
The councilmen, however, are reluctant
to lay any more pavements that do not
have a dust preventive, and it is inn
probable that the Davis avenue land
owners will get any unless they assent
10 the councillnanic requirement. The
council has another paving problem i'll
Quincy avenue. Here one set of prop
~erty-owners insist on Hassam concrete,
while another set demands bitulithic.
If the property-owners were to pay all
the cost of such work the council would
let them suit themselves wholly or
abide at once by the decision of those
owning a majority of the lineal feet,
but there are many streets crossing
Quincy avenue, Inc the cost of paving
the square at each intersection falls
on the town. The latter wants the X
pense as light as possible, With due al
lowance being made for dustless, du-
rable pavement.
