Commissioner Woods, with the
approval of the mossion, has
awarded the contract for the
paving of North Oaks and 18th
streets to Joseph Worter for an
asphaltic concrete pavement for
$35,312.
This is about $1,000 below the
lowest bid for asphalt, and Woods
believes the pavement will be
better than a straight asphalt, as
1t gives q rough surface and has
some rock in 1t to add to the
wearing qualities.
