of the Chamber of Commerce who
made an investigation. saws the
weight OF opinion from people in 9TH
er cities Is that vitrifed brick or
concrete IS the most desirable for
i'aVlng. 1t IS suggested that the best
pollcy would be to ask for bids on
all materials and then determine the
matter after thorough consideration
OF initial cost, maintenance, etc.
Estimates obtained on the cost of
paving Lee street from Stonewall to
Vine and Main from Third avenue to
seventh avenue and carrying the
paving on from this point by parking
center portion of Main street with
pavement of twenty feet on each
side to the Central depot are given
as follows:' Brick, fiat, sand filler
without concrete base, S53,8OO: as
phaltic concrete, $54, roo; sheet as
phalt, $4,000; brick, fiat, grout fill
er and sand cement base, 100000.
1t IS further stated that it is the
usual custom for abutting property
owners on either side to pay one
third of the cost Of paving and the
city the other third, but it is suggest
ed that the expense to the property
owner might be reduced to one
fourth. On this basis it is estimated
that it would be necessary for the
city to issue bonds to the amount
OF only $4,000 for paving, which,
added to the amount it is proposed to
eXpend on the water system, would
make total bond issue for the two
improvements of $4,000.

TO SELL HOUSES BELOW COST
to Get Opportunity
to Buy Homes Cheaply

Promise to sell to shlpworkers al
lower than construction cost sac houses
built for the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion was made this afternoon by Admiral
Bowles at a flagraising celebration at
the shipyard village Sixty-eighth street
and Buist avenue. The Government will
not lose money by the transaction.
The sale will begin at once, said Ad-
miral Bowles and the occupants of
the houses will be given the first
opportunity to buy them. A small
initial payment will be required,
the balance to be paid off as rent. The
difference between the selling price and
the cost to the Government. he explained,
will be paid by an insurance service.
The flag was presented to the resi-
dents of the village by Moss, Taylor
and Crawford, the builders. Miss Myrtle
Crawford, daughter of one of the con-
tractors, raised the flag, and Daniel
Crawford presented 1t. Samuel F
Crothers, president of the Elmwood
Avenue Improvement Association also
addressed the gathering.
The houses are built in the block
bounded by Sixty-seventh and Pershine
streets and Elmwood and Dix avenues
The flag was raised in the community
park, at Sixty-eighth street and Buist
avenue.

CITY MUST PAY MORE
FOR STREET CLEANING
Garbage Removal Also to Cost
More-Total Advance
$271,292

Street-cleaning and garbage collections
in 1919 will cost the city a net total
Of s271,292 more than the record-breals-
ing wartime totals of this year.
Director Datesman, who talked ".ecpn-
omy' and now claims to have saved the
city 100000 by his new specifications
that bring the high cost to point in
excess of any two years cost under
former Mayor Blankenburg, is ''satis-
fed" In announcing his claim at saw
ing money, he said the estimates would
have been that much higher under the
specifications making the contractors
keep at work a minimum force of
cleaners and equipment.
Out Of the total excess, Senator Ware
gets $4,000, while $123,633 of the in
creased cost goes to the Penn Reduction
Company, whose price for garbage coll
lection Is $212,S29 more than the .esti-
mate of Edward T. Murphy, whose bid
was lost to the city through an effort to
impose restrictions not in the specifica-
tions. 80 p,
