Would Experiment With Paving
The council spent some time dis
cussing a proposition TO put an oil
binder on the block on Mission street
bounded by Yakima and Thurston
streets. The Spokane Asphalt &
Macadam Paving company, who has
the contract for the installation of
the paving on the four blocks of Mis-
sion street, submitted a proposal to
mix in an oil binder on the macadam
which is being laid on South Mission
street. The contract price on the
straight macadam is so cents. The
proposal was that for an additional
40 cents the oil and a fine screening
would be used, furnishing binding
that should make a perfect street.
| In this block there are about 2100
cubic yards to be covered and the adj
ditional cost would be about $3.50.
The members of the council felt dis
posed to make a test of this one
block, believing that this sort of paw
ing. while not only cheap, is a wear
able and very satisfactory paving,
but inasmuch as the general fund is
! low and the cost of this Improvement
would have to come out of the gen
eral fund, it was decided to pass up
this experiment for year at least
