Comments on Paving Situation

The most permanent, prao.i .ical and
popular type of street pavement in
use today, as exemplife1 by the fact
that there is now one huudred mil
lion square yards in service upon the
streets and highways of this country,
is reinforced Portland cement" said
VIM NJ Wilson, good roads advocate
and ex-secretary of the U.an Fourty
Highway association, who is step
ping for few days ut the North
Side Inn. "A street properly con-
structed of this material according to
the latest and most approved speci-
fications can be kept as cl.ae whole
some and sanitary as a modern and
well-appointed bath room and with
minimum of effort" said Mr.. Will
son. 1T is hard, gritty and @on-ab-
sorbent, which among other things,
assures safety against skiLdils with
automobiles. It has a smooth, even
continuity of surface which makes
riding upon it a pleasure. And it is
matter of record. so far as traction
resistance is concerned. that the pun
