Cement Paving Satisfactory,

A number of Michigan cities are in
vestigating cement paving and the uni
versal report seems to be that 1t is sat
isfactory as well as being cheaper thar
any other paving to construct. The
Lansing council recently sent a com
mittee to Ann Arbor to look over the
cement paving in that city. The Ian
sing Journal says:
The council contemplates paving 9
number of miles of streets this season
and so much trouble has been exper
fenced with brick in years past that il
is purposed to get away from that
problem. If possible. The Lansing Of.
ficials who inspected the Ann Arbor
idea came back filed with enthusiasm,
having verified to detail everything
that has been said about the cement
pavement.
The cement pavement is composed of
a concrete foundation, layer of &C.
ment like a sidewalk, and an upper
coating of ter and sand. Ann Arbor
has mile and half Of this kind of
street, on the covering of which City
Engineer Grove of that city is trying
to get patent. The pavement has
been down for two years and shows no
wear. 1t was tried as an experiment
at first and now petitions are coming in
so fast the public works department Of
Ann Arbor cannot this year do the paw
ing that is asked for.
The cement pavement has these ad-
vantages: 1t costs 81 a yard to lay it
against $1.95 yard of brick pavement.
The work can be done by the city and
a good share of the material used can
be purchased at home. 1t is practically
indestructible. Cement pavement is
noiseless and almost dustless; it is easy
on horses feet. 1t can be repaired when
1t is torn up for pipe laying, and the
repairing done so that the patch cannot
be dlscerned. It never has any sunken
spots or rough places and can be 80 con-
structed that perfect drainage is pus-
sible.
jackson has adopted the Ann Arbor
idea and has laid some of this kind of
pavement for experimental purposes.
It's many advantages and indestructi.
bility has so pleased citizens of jackson
that cement paving will undoubtedly
be the future road of that city.
? Lansing can spend $4,000 in much
needed paving without exceeding the
bonding limit. That amount will
build all the contemplated paving If
done with brick. If done with cement,
the figures produced by the cost depart
ment OF the Ann Arbor city engineer
show that all the contemplated paving
may be done for q little over se5, 900.
