BRICK AND CON-
CRETE PAVING

During the year 1914, we are to
have quite little more paving work
done. The council has said so. It
is all TO be Of brick. There is no
doubt but what brick is a very de
sirable and durable material We
paid $207 yard for the brick paw
ing and at that we We're saved con
siderable over $4,000, by good bust
ness management.
A committee from Evanston, H.,
which recently inspected the con-
crete pavements at Sheboygan made
the following report:
The life time of a concrete pave
ment is proven by statistics to be
eqaul to that of any other kind Of
pavement, and when you take into
consideration its cost, it is the ideal
pavement for the modern city of to-
day
THAT your committee can unhesi-
tatingly recommend. for Evanston
the use of concrete pavement on
such streets as are now unpaved, etc.
''1-That concrete pavement costs
less than other durable pavements
"2-That concrete pavement with
granite surface should be exceeding
ly durable, especially more so than
those with limestone surface.
'.3-That concrete streets can be
most readily flushed and cleaned.
"4-That on a large number of
streets the high cost of the usual
curbing can be reduced by the use
OF low curbing continuous with the
street pavement.
s'5-That the surface of concrete
pavement is surprisingly satisfactory
both for horse and motor traffic.
s'6-That concrete pavement o.
rather the wearing surface is not af-
fected by changes in temperature.
's7-That concrete pavements are
less noisy than brick and more so
than macadadn.
''The cost of reinforced concrete
pavements at the different places Wis
tied were as follows:
Per So. yard
Fond du Lac $l.2b
Plymouth. ..... go. -.... 1.231A
ShebOygan. 80. 1.36
At Sheboygan half the pavement
has been in service three seasons,
and the balance from one to three
or four months. There is not a
crack observable throughout its en-
tire length.
Grand Rapids needs the paving, but
while we are about it. why not look
around at what some of our sister
cities have done and how they have
solved the problem and saved money.
There is quite a difference in. the
grand total OF dollars between $2.O7
and $1.36 a yard and with concrete
giving such excellent re
suits. it would be a. wise move on
the part of the administration to
look into this concrete paving propo-
sition carefully and continue the gooa
record made so far in the saving OF
money for the city on it's paving con-
