iCEMENT-C CONCRETE Is
SAID TO LAST LONG

The Concrete Era which is pro.
noting cement-concrete for road-mak-
ing material. says:
THE first real Portland cement con-
crete pubic street paving, wherein
there was used a concrete wearing
surface, was laid in Bellefountain,
Ohio. just twenty years. ago.
THAT road is still good, and is be-
ing used by heavy traffic every day.
That pavement consists of 4-inch
concrete base and a 2-inch wearing
surface; the base being 1:2:4 machine
mixed gravel concrete, and the top a
Ii mixture Of cement and bank sand.
The concrete base was laid quite
dry, was thoroughly tamped and the
top laid closely, behind the base.
This pavement was laid Greatly in
blocks feet square. To afford foot
mold for horses, the surface, after
being smocthed with trowel. was
rougnened
This Bellefpuntain job gave almost
perfect satisfaction. There has been
practically nothing for repairs in all
these twenty years. With this excep-
tion, and a few other small pieces
of concrete paving laid in other 10
calities, there was no more concrete
paving done for ten years. During
that period every other conceivable
form of street paving was used; none
