FAVORS BITULITHIC
ABERDEEN CITY ENGINEER RE
PORTS ON SERVICE OF SIOUN
FALLS PAVING.

Bitulithic paving for city streets
is favored by Frank lie Coco, city
engineer at Aberdeen. The Aber-
deem city commission recently sent
Mr.. lie Coco TO Sioux Falls to ~investi-
gate paving that has been laid and
is nov being constructed in that city.
In his report 10 the city commission
at Aberdeen this week Mr.. lie Coco
discusses the merits of various kinds
of paving i'm Sioux Falls. His re
port, i'm part. is as follows:
The concrete paving shows very
few cracks and practically no heav-
ing.
The %creosoted block paving is in
good condition and has never heaved.
The only trouble they have had is
bleeding Of the blocks i'm very hot
weather.
The asphaltic concrete is in good
condition at the present time. There
are Just a few places where il is
cracked, but not enough to do any
damage. Some cracks appear during
the winter. but as 500 as warm
weather comes all the cracks close
up and cannot be seen. The surface
is smooth and makes a nice paving
for light traffic. 1t is also very easy
to clean.
The stone block paving, laid i'm
1914, has become very uneven and a
large percentage of it in use on Main
avenue is now being replaced by btu
lithic paving.
The bitulithic shows no wear and
the surface is smooth. There are no
cracks at the present time. This
year they are paying s2.25 per
square yard for the bitulithic paving.
including grading, and $40 for the
|asphaltic concrete.
Before any paving is built the
city requires all water service TO be
brought TO the lot line with lead
pipe. also sanitary connections
must be brought to the lot line.
Most important of all, the storm sew
ers must be put in TO take care of
the surface water.
The bitulithic paving is composed
! of a concrete base six inches in thick
ness. On this is spread a two-inch
layer of bitulithic material having
been heated to about 800 degrees
Fair. The contractor for this type
of paving gives the city of Sioux
Falls a guarantee for five years.
"Asphaltic concrete paving is also
laid on a concrete base about five or
six inches thick. The top two inches
are composed of asphalt and stone
mixed hot. The method of mixing is
similar to that described for the btu
lithic material. The only difference
between the two is that the asphaltic
concrete has less stone in the mixture
than the bitulithic.
When properly constructed. this
type Of paving is very nice for resi-
dence districts. 1t is not noisy and
has an even surface and is easy 70
clean. 1t is not as good a paving as
the bitulithic since il does not CON
tain as much crushed rock.
1t is my opinion that the best
paving Sioux Falls has at the pres
ent time is the bitulithic. This kind
of paving has good wearing qualities,
is not noisy. is easily drained and the
surface is easily cleaned.
