CONTRACT GIVEN
FOR Paving Of
Delaware AVE.
Union Paving Company to
Put Down Asphalt at
Cost of 100000
TROLLEY TRACKS TO Be
IN middle OF Street

At a special meeting OF the Street
and Sewer directors yesterday after
noon. a contract for paving Delaware
avenue. from a point east OF Tatnall
street, to Van Buren street. was
awarded TO the Union Paving Company
which has had the contract for paw
ing Wilmington streets the past two
years.
Delaware avenue is now being wild
ened considerably. through an offer
made to the city by Pierre s. dupont
who is bearing the expense Of the wild
enlng. The expanded thoroughfare Is
to be paved with asphalt. laid on con-
crete foundation. at a cost Of $4,000
In round figures. The Union Paving
COmpany's bid is nearly three tines as
much as estimates for similar con-
struction prior TO the war, showing
the increased cost OF labor, materials
etc.
The paving Will be similar TO that
on Market street. except that there will
be flrebrick cutters 20 carry of the
drainage It was intended TO origin
ally lay hrebrick between the car track:
and along the outside Of the rails. but
this specification was changed and wood
block will be laid on each side Of the
rails. with asphalt between. such as
has proved successful under the heavy
traffic Of Market street Between the
concrete foundation and the street
asphalt surface. a cushion will be laid
10 take up the vibration Of traffic.
The street car tracks will be laid In
the center Of the avenue. The street
and Sewer directors looked into the
question Of laying white brick strips
in the asphalt near street crossings, as
a "dead-llne" for trafflc, should 10 ever
become necessary TO install traffic po-
licemen along the avenue. Director Ru-
dolph says the experience in other
cities where the plan was tried has
been that the asphalt wears away on
either side Of the brick inlay, causing
a bump that gradually wears into a
series OF holes.
As Delaware avenue is part Of the
Lincoln Highway loop, the Street end
Sewer directors and the Union Paving
Company do not anticipate serious trou-
BILE in getting materials for the pro-
iect. state Highway Engineer Upham
has been cooperating with the Street
and Sewer directors regarding mate
