CITY SAVES MUCH
ON NEW STREET JOB

The Street and Sewer Department
following the suggestion OF street
Commissioner Pierson early in the
season. is going full speed ahead
on street paving and will doubtless
have all street work planned for
this year finished before cold
weather sets in.
Work on the nine blocks from
Lancaster avenue TO Maryland ave-
nue. on Broome street. will be start
ed before long and will be finished
this year.
other operations engaging the at
tention Of the Department at this
time are on Fourth street from the
christIana river 10 Market street, and
from Monroe 10 Union streets; on
Market street from Eleventh street
to the Brandywine river; King street
from the Christians TO the Brandy
wine rivers.
Street paving operations are also
soon to be started beyond Third
street bridge.
The work on West Fourth street.
IS expected to be finished in three
weeks that on Market street by
August 5, and on King street late
in August.
1t has been found less expensive
for the city TO do its own paving
rather than 10 let the work out 70
contractors. 1t is estimated that
the saving on work done this year
will not be less than so cents a
square yard. as compared with
prices that would have been paid if
the work had been contracted for
by outsiders.
