The big cities are killing individuality
They destroy civic pride except in

AUSTIN AVENUE PAVING
New Boulevard Between Chicago
and Oak Park Will Cost More
Than Other Recent Paving.

There is much comment about the
proposed cost for paving Austin ave
nue., the boundary boulevard between
Chicago and Oak Park.
An examination of the unit figures
contained in the bids of the Com
mOnwealth Improvement company.
which, by the way, are Identical as
to the Oak Park and west park sides
of Austin avenue, has disclosed that
they are considerably in excess of
recent unit costs for paving streets
in the city of Chicago. The unit price
for 32,921 square yards of standard
asphalt pavement, which is composed
of concrete base six inches in thick
ness, a binder course one and one
half inches thick and two inches OF
wearing surface, is 1892 a square yard.
In Chicago the average unit price
for upward of 100000 square yards
of the same type of pavement con-
tracts for which have been awarded.
has been about 1885 a square yard.
Similarly the unit price of S295
a square yard for resurfacing 25.
364 square yards, or in other words.
constructing upon the existing fOunda-
tion of water-bound macadam binder
course and two inches of asphalt
wearing surface. is 33 cents a square
yard higher than the cost of similar
resurfacing job in KenwoOd avenue,
the contract for which was awarded
by the board of local improvements
May Il. last. The contract price for
that work is 1882 a square yard. Re
surfacing involves scarifying and
some replacement of old foundations.
Therefore, ultimate cost of resurfac-
ing depends in large measure upon
the physical condition of the water
bound macadam at the time bids are
prepared 1t is admitted that the ma
cadam in Austin avenue is in ex-
cellent condition, while that in Ken
wood avenue is very bad.
1t would appear. therefore. that in
spite of comparative conditions the
property owners of Austin avenue
will have to pay s2O,651 more for their
pavement than if they lived under the
jurisdiction of ChicagO's board of To-
cal improvements
