40 ASPHALTIC BLOCKS
Concrete Paving Popular in Topeka
This Year.

Forty blocks of asphaltic concrete
paviAg have been laid in Topeka this
year, according to an announcement
made by Commissioner Tandy this
morning. When the brick paving on
Fourth street from Kansas avenue to
the Santa Fe station is completed
there will be forty-one blocks of brick
pavement to the credit of the city. a
total of eighty-one blocks, including
alleys.
Some of the brick paving jobs have
gone over contract time but the city
commission is not inclined to blame
the contractors, who were tied up on
account of the shortage of brick.
Ziegler Brothers, who have the con-
tract for paving Fourth street, had to
go to Galesburg, Ill, to get their brick
and the price they were forced to pay
will cut down their profits.
