ALL PAVING GETTING CHEAPER.

The effect upon prices for various
forms OF street paving caused by tbs
competition OF. concrete has been ev'
idenced again this week by the let
ting of contract in Des Modnes for
asphalt at $1.65 per yard. Hereto
fore prevailing prices for asphalt
have lowered around 50 per yard AND
for brick paving some times higher
than that, but the day is rapidly
passing when any street paving will
exceed $3.50 per square yard in cost
as concrete at $1.10 to $1.4O per yard
is bound to bring the price Of other
forms down, to a cost basis or put
them out OF. business in the competi
ton. tt,
The letting Of contract for 9
pavement at Manchester, Iowa a.
$1.16 per yard, so near Like bitulith
lc, which has cost in excess Of 5:
per yard, that it is difficult for one
to distinguish the difference, an
the drop in the price Of asphalt a.
Des Moines is indicative Of the
progress in price decline on the cos
of street improvement which is nov
going on.
It is at Sioux City that some O
the cheapest concrete pavement ha'
been secured, prices at times havins
been as low as $1.1O per square yard
and it is here that concrete has been
laid in a single course mixed one
two and -four without taking the extr
precaution Of putting a separate Wea
| ing surface, and it is interesting Il
this connection to note what the ma!
or of Sioux City says regarding tn
pavement in special article, whic
he has prepared for the Illustrate
industrial edition recently pubEshe
by the Sioux City Journal.
| Regarding street improvement d
says:
"Many blocks of streets have bee
paved, and the paving o. even NOR
blocks contracted for. The counc
early gave the closest attention !
an investigation of the best an
cheapest methods Of paving stree
not devoted to business purpose
and finally decided upon concrete
satisfying both requirements bet
than any other material. The co
tracts for large number of blocl
on cross streets were let during IL
past winter and the work was b
gun early in the spring.
The work was done by the co
tractors in such a manner as to SO
isfy the closest inspection, & al
there is no doubt that the questi'
Of securing a cheap, durable al
satisfactory paving for reshenc
streets has been solved in Sio
City. So we'll satisfied with t
new paving were the property cW
u ers and the council that a still lal
l. er amount Of 1t was ordered and
. now being laid. There Is good re
: son to believe that much OF this ps
= ing will be asked for in other s.
l. tions Of the city in the near futur'

GOES UP IN FLAMES.

A house owned by E. c. and Lynch
Perry on School street and occupied
by viii Gordon was destroyed by
fire this morning and practically all
Of the contents were lost, very little
being saved The house was a one
story five room building and worth
at least $1,000 with only $500 insur-
ance. The furniture was partially
covered by insurance. The fire
caught from a pile of burning ashes,
it is supposed and the house was al
most gone before the fire department
could get TO the scene.
