Report of Prot. Cox on Pave msnt.


The report of Prof. ]. ]. Cox of tn
engineering department of the Uni
versity of Michigan, on his examina-
ton of the West Main street pave
ment recently, has been received by
the commission. His report substan-
tiates the report made to the COM
mission some time ago, by Commits
sioner Hanscom after he had gone
over the work.
The commission was satisfied that
the present condition of the pave
ment was due to poor material and
workmanship and the bondsmen OF
| Andrew Geek, who built the pave
ment, have agreed to repair the
pavement. However, the commission
believed it the part of good judg-
ment to get an expert here to look
the pavement over and to get his re
port in writing in case lawsuit was
necessary. The report follows:
| Gentlemen
l have the following TO report after
my inspection made on April Sth
1916, of that portion of the West
Main street pavement, located BE-
tween the bridge over the Shiawasse6
river and the tracks of the Michigan
Central RAILROAD, viz: all of that por'
ton iof said street on the south side
of the car track and that portion OF
the street on the north side of the
car track between the tracks of the
Michigan Central railroad and the
west line of Howell street.
That portion on the south side of
the car track was completed in De-
cember, 1911 and has now had lit
tie more than four gears service.
That part between the west line of
Howell street and the Michigan
Central tracks on the north side of
the car track was completed about
August /, 1912, and has had little
more than three and one-half years
of service. Neither of these portions
can be considered as good pavement.
The defects now existing can be at
and to poor construction. A poor
grade of brick was used in the wear
ing surface and the grout filler used
with the brick was very poor. Both
of these pavements show undue wear
under the traffic they are sustaining.
The fiat spots which are so con-
spicuous on the surface, are, no
doubt, due to either poor distribu-
ton, uneven thickness or uneven con-
solidation of the sand used in the
cushion during the construction, or
to defects in the concrete foundation.
The expansion joints were poorly
| would consider it the duty of the
persons signing the guarantee bond,
guaranteeing this street for a period
of five years, as to the quality of ma
terial and workmanship during con-
struction to re-surface this street to
the satisfaction of the commission.
You wish to know my opinion as to
the advisability of repairing this |
street and as to the proper method
to use in doing this repair work If
it is at all feasible. In this connec-
ton I would say that there is no way
that this street can be repaired that
would produce a good and satisfact-
DRY surface on this pavement, such as
the city of Owosso is entitled to UNI
der the terms of its bond. In fact, |
the defects now existing are so gen.
eral in character, covering almost the
entire surface of the pavement that
nothing short of re-surfacing would
be satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted,
John j. Cox.
