FAME OF PAVING IN THIS
CITY is TOLD IN STORY
CONTINUED from Page -

mayor and council have agreed to do
the grading of the street. and the haul
ing, mixing and laying of concrete
paven.ent, free of cost to the owners
of abutting property, provided the lat
ter will pay for the material. The city
uses convicts for te labor in connec-
ton with this work. Sixty per cent. OF
the AUDITING owners must PETITION for
a pavement before it con reconstruct
ed, following which petition an ordi-
nance is passed and work begun with
thirty days.
The cost to the property owners
averaged approximately $1,00 per
square yard, and that to the city 25
cents. The city figures that this ex-
penditure is an economy, in that every
sand-clay street that is paved with
concrete relieves the street depart
ment of a considerable part of the
cost of maintenance of that street. The
residents are also relieved of the dust
nuisance from vehicle traffic.
Mr.. Ansley finds that the convict
labor employed is more efficient than
free labor being more careful to carry
out instructions; and more interested
in the work than free laborers.
The pavement is mixed 1928 and
laid in one course. 1t is made 5 inches
thick at the curb line and inches in
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-01-02

at each end This takes much less
time than hand-foating and gives the
pavement a better finish. The hose is
dragged over the strip three or four
times, if necessary. If any bad spots
appear after using the hose, a long
handled wooden float is used from the
sidewalk to smooth them out. An av-
GRACE of 500 square yards day is laid
by the gang in this way
This method of rolling and finishing
did not originate in Americas, but had
previously been employed in Macon
