WEATHERLY SEES
ROADS Of COUNTY
Finley Method May Be Used
on City Streets if
Approved

Commissioner James Weatherly went
out along the Bessemer and 'Possum
Valley roads yesterday to inspect the
new road surface being used by the
county. The inspection was with a view
to seeing whether or not it would be
an advisable road for urban use.
1t Is called the Finley method. The
surface is made from a sort OF asphalt
or creosote preparation and cost about
20 cents per square yard The prepara-
tion of a street would probably cost
about another 20 cents, making an
average cost of 40 cents for the pave
ment. 1t is said to be much better than
ebert and Will wear from three to four
years without being touched. This is
about one-fourth the cost of the aver
age asphalt pavement and although not
az permanent 1t may be deemed better
for the use of the city for the time be-
ing.
No new paving is being done by the
city now on account OF the bad imam
cial condition Of the city treasury. Al
though Mr. Weatherly stated he had
merely made a preliminary inspection
of the road. 1t 10 said to be possible the
new road may be used for street paw
ing in some Of the suburbs II It proves
satisfactory. It IL said to do away en-
tirely with the dust.
