Birmingham Contractors Do
Much Work Through

City the Center

Birmingham is the southern center and
Headquarters of the street paving indus
try in the south. The offices of the
various paving companies and various
general contractors do business OF
several million dollars in a year.
The plant of the Southern Asphalt COM
pany here is not only the largest south
of the Ohio river. but it Is the head
quarters of the asphalt pavement con-
tracts that are made throughout the
south and west The concern in this city
sends forth asphalt to cover many thou
sand miles of streets each year. and IT'S
business has increased so far that 1t
installed a plant and shipment facilities
which rival the asphalt works of any
city of the north and are rapidly SUCCEED
ing them in the supremacy of trade
Then also there is the bitulithic COM
pany, which supplies its entire southern
trade from Birmingham, and its annual

PAVING HAS
BECOME VERY POPULAR

Situlithie is made of the stone cement
and Stag that is known product of the
section in almost unlimited quantities.
Asphalt, which is also the pavement Of
the resident streets and boulevards, is
made of practically the same stuff, with
a higher quantity of sand in it's COM
position.
The city is going entirely to bitulithic
and asphalt, and there are contracts
now outstanding that give the southern
bitulithic company contracts for more
than half of the miles of pavements that
are to be put down in the city this
year.
At the present time, by the way, there
city to one of asphalt, but the asphalt
and bitulthicFare so rapidly superceding
the old macadam construction that it
is doubtful If within a year there will
exist mile of the latter pavement in
any of the city limits
There is another reason why the peo-
pie OF birmingham are so rapidly going
to the standard pavements of their
streets. That's because of the city ordi-
nances which give the property owners
abutting 10 years in which to pay for
their share of the road. That fact CON
nected with the slight cost of the btu
lithic and asphalt has undoubtedly
weighed heavily with the city engineer in
carrying out his city wide plan of stand
ard paved streets.
1t is, of course, necessary to pave some
OF the streets on which the heaviest
traffic runs with the Belgian block or
the vitrified brick. But the proportion
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

of that sort of pavement to the other is
almost negligible, for there are no hign
hills up which draught horses with heavy
loads must climb in Birmingham's indus
trial section.
1t is incidental to this story, but no
less the interesting fact that the South
ern Bitulithic company has become one
of the biggest industrial factors of
the south since it was established here.
Its business conducted from this city
and extending all over the south has
grown to such an extent that Birming
ham is now actually the head and front
Of the entire industry of the south.
IT Is admitted that the asphalt and
bitulithic companies of this city are the
leading branches of the entire trade be-
low the Mason and Dixon line and it is
the statistics of the companies offices
in this city that their growth has been
such as to insure the increase of paving
in Birmingham and other cities to war
rant the statement that the growth of
the next year and the succeeding
growth will be even greater in propor-
tion than at present.
Probably the city itself has admitted
the force of the argument for the stan
dard, guaranteed pavements for Its own
books demonstrate that the city by paw
ing property with these accepted STAN
dards of paving are thereby increasing
the price of the adjacent property un-
til its taxes more than make up the
cost of the entire paving within 10
years
The paving in Birmingham Is rapidly
becoming the best pavement of which
any city in the country can boast. As
the well known gentleman of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

breakfast food has said. There's a
reason" And the reason lies in the
fact that the component parts of the
best pavement in the world lie, vir-
tually at the feet of the town. 1t is
for that reason that Birmingham city
governors are able to pave her streets
with asphalt and bitulithie at "a cost be-
tween e5 and 40 per cent lower than
any other city in the country.
At the present time the city is al
ready paved with 16 miles of bitulithie,
while there is more than three miles OF
asphalt
Hitherto the city ran largely to the
old style McAdam road and even mos.
of its residence streets were paved with
that because of the proximity of the
material and the consequent cheap cost
for road which is still known
throughout the country as the best
road that can be built for country high-
ways. But within the past two or threa
years it has been shown to the city
fathers that they are now in a posi- =
ton to pave their best streets with
bitulithic and asphalt. at IA cost that Is
comparable with the cost of the old
McAdam pavement and means a pave
ment that will last three times as long
There is more bitulithic pavement
used in Birmingham than in any other
city of its size anywhere. That's be-
cause 1t can be put down by this city
at a cost so low that It almost halves
the cost of the similar pavement in
other towns. 1t is because also that
there is every component part of bitu-
lithic in the quarres within easiest
freight access of Birmingham.

unless voids in the mineral ag-
