PAVING SPECIFICATIONS.

The competition for business in this
country is strong. Nowhere is it Keen
er than in the paving business. But
the competition is largely among the
material producing concerns-cement
brick and asphalt in their various
forms and combinations.
One OF the most prolific sources OF
trouble to towns that desire to pave
is in specifications. 1t is in this field
that the most of the competitive bat
ties for business are fought. Atlantic
has Just passed through an expert
ence. For weeks agents of the various
paving materials lowered over the city
officials using all the arts known to
the trade to get into specifications
clauses which would exclude cOmpeti-
tors. The work now going in this
line is akin to that which has been
waged for years by school book pub
fishers.
Paving must be done under specitl-
cations. 1t cannot well be done other
wise. For this reason the battles which
are waged on this subject all hinge on
this pivotal point.
Concrete paving the cheapest kind.
II properly laid it Is as good as much
more expensive kinds. For this reas-
on the makers of other paving mate
rails continually knock on the &C.
ment, though all use it for base on
which to lay their own surfacing.
There is a material difference, how
ever, in concrete. Specifications have
much to do with this. Crushed gran
lite is more expensive as an aggregate
for cement than limestone. But 1t Is
stronger than the limestone. II con-
crete paving is to be laid in one course
so that the wearing surface is com
posed OF the aggregated concrete. then
the hard, fiinty stone must be used.
But where the concrete paving Is laid
in two courses then the first course
is not designed for wearing. but rath-
er "a a filling. In this case the lime
stone aggregate is just as good and 1t
ia much cheaper. When the speciii-
cations call for particular granite az
gregate it means an increase in the
price. II it is for two course concrete
work then the expense is needlessly
increased.
with all these conflicting elements
the only chance city has to get good
value for it's money is to have officials
and engineers on the job who can not
only be relied upon to be square. but
who are alert and keen to avoid all the
little traps and jokers that material
men, contractors and agents OF these
materials are able to inject into speci-
fications. General Sherman's defini-
ton OF war comes pretty near fitting
this paving business at the present
ltime.-Nonpareil.
