TWO PAVING BIDS TAKEN
 BY THE CITY

Acceptance by the city council of bids by Warren Brothers for the Sheldon street and -Montezuma paving projects last night followed consideration of new type of paving for Prescott These two streets will be improved with what is known as 'black base1-an asphaltic concrete base with the same top cover as IS used on the downtown and Mt Yer non street sections.
 A difference in price between the two projects bid on last night was due to the fact that the paving com pany does not have to carry the dis trict bonds in the case of the Shel- don street improvement, which will be assessed over the whole town and paid for in each. A discount of 71H per cent is made in that case.
 Montezuma street from Gurley to Willis and Willis from Cortez to Montezuma will be paved within 90 days after the Signing of contract between the bidder and the city Under the law Is days must elapse before that contract can be signed, but City Attorney Gale was instruct ed to put in a time clause.
 The Sheldon street improvement, which is the city's share in the much needed and strongly urged paved road to Fort Whipple, must be fin ished within 60 days after the sign ing of the contract which will also take place in a couple of weeks.
 Ed Van Doorn, local manager of the paving company, explained (among many other things) last night, that he could lay black base pavement much faster than the ce- ment concrete base, such as is going down around the plaza.
 This base IS composed of a crush ed rock aggregate like that used in cement concrete, but with a binder of asphalt instead of Portland cement. The type is said to be successful everywhere and it is claimed for it that changes in temperature are ab- sorbed much more readily than by cement concrete.
 Here are some figures on the two jobs-the first extensions of the pay ing in Prescott since the big district contract was let:
 Montezuma-W Willis
 There is a total of 5000 square yards. Grading is bid at S2 cents, the same as for the downtown dis trict. Paving at $2.77 a square yard. The total cost of this job will ap- proach $34,94S.
