WORK NOW IN PROGRESS
LAssITER GETS A BIG CONTRACT
FOR HIGH POINT:
Centennial Avenue and East Wash
inston Street are to Be Repaved
At Once-Cost $40 600

5.
Contract to repave, or rather resur
face Centennial Avenue and East
Washington Street, two of the most.
important thoroughfares in the city,
was late Saturday awarded to Robert
G. Lassiter and Company, of Oxford,
by the city councilmen. These two
streets, paved two years ago with a
substance called rocmac, are easily
the worst in the city. Especially no..
ticeable is the condition Of Centennial
Avenue, the main route Of ingress and
egress Of the Greensboro-High Point
highway and part of the national
highway. Holes from one to 12 inches
deep and of varying circumferences
make the going on. both this and
Washington Street very dangerous in
addition to uncomfortable
The contract entered into by the
city and Mr.. Lassiter calls for the
laying Of approximately $4,000 square
yards of bitulithic surfacing, two
inches thick, which, in turn, will be
covered with what is termed seal
coat Both the streets in question
have strong, substantial concrete
bases, only the surfacing having given
away in most instances, although
some of the holes are such depth
that the foundations may be ruined
: for several feet in every direction.
However, the replacing of parts of
the base will be easy and compare
lively inexpensive. The bid submit
ted by Lassister & Company called for
both streets to be put in frst-class con
dition for $4,000.
