this manner, is 100 feet in width. In
the business district it is paved 20

streets the width of paving varies
from 20 feet down to "a feet.
The process of laying Dolarway is
simple The grade is established and
the concrete curb put in. The sub
grade is rolled until It as firm as
1t can be made. Then ordinary con-
crete. in the proportion of one part
of cement 10 two parts of sand and
four of gravel is poured on in sec
tons 10 depth of six inches. There
is no cinder or rock base. The con-
crete is spread evenly, foated and

way is put on in as thin a coat as pos
sible and torpedo sand. or coarse sand,
which passes through a quarter inch
screen. is sprinkled over it. Then traf-
fic is turned on without further pre-
liminaries and the wheels and hoofs
grind the sand into the surfacing and
a smooth and even top is the result.
The yielding surface protects the con-
crete base so that there is no wear,
When the top becomes thin it is easily
renewed, at small cost and without
the use of any expensive material.
The paving is impervious TO water

meath 1t from moisture which Right

about the only device they did not
employ"
Mayor Joseph W. Macarthur was one
OF the first TO become an advocate OF
the new material. He said: The mat
ter of cost was one of the first things
that attracted our notice. A commit
tee from the council and myself made
an extensive investigation OF paving
materials and visited a number of
cities. In Lansing, Mich. our atten-
ton was called to this "Dolarway."
We found that il had been down three
years and was in perfect condition.
Again. at Ann Arbor the street over
which the coal is hauled to the state
university is paved with II and II is
given the most severe usage. In both
cities the streets on which this mater
ial is used are conceded TO be the best
they have, and this form OF paving
is being generally adopted 1t is easy
TO keep in repair, and the longer a
street is used the better it seems TO
