Members Of the committee have beer
making a study Of the use Of concret,
for street paving in other cities AM
it is declared that it has stood the tes
as well as any form of paving and tina
the cheapness of construction recon
mends it for Kenosha work. The cos
Of paving these streets with concret,
will be considerable less than the pro
posed paving with brick or asphal
and it is thought that tho concret
pavements will be just as acceptable
to the property owners. Pomero.
street residents had suggested to tn
council that this street be improved
with an asphalt pavement, but many o
the people residing on the street hav,
declared that a cement pavement vii
be entirely acceptable to them.
The plans of the city is to purchas
all the cement needed for the con
struction of these roads and let tn
contract for the work with the under
standing that the city will furnish al
the materials needed.
It is thought that with this plan tn
city will be able to get very favorabl

work. If necessary the city will under
take, through the engineering depart
ment of the company, of this work AM
all of it will be done under the direc
supervision of the city.
AS the city is now working under tn
paving section of the general charte
law, it will not be necessary to secpr
petitions from property owners ON an.
of the streets which it is proposed t.
improve. It is believed that the peopl
on all of the streets selected viii b
ready to cooperate with the council
in every possible way to secure tn
improvement of the streets. Tn
streets named are streets largel.
used by the general public and tn
early Improvement of them is great.
to be desired.
