FINE sTREET-PAvING RECORD
Total OF $50 Miles Completed in City
of Birmingham During the
Year Of 1922.

The street-paving record Of Birming-
ham for the year 1922 is a gratifying
one. A total of a hundred and fifty
miles of paving has been completed.
The nearly 100000 invested could not
have been spent in better cause. The
city as a whole has reached that stage
of highway construction where contin.
uous travel east, west. north or south
inside the city limits over smooth and
hard-surfaced thoroughfare is possible.
Within another year the connecting
links with the outlying suburbs still
required for completion of the Greater
Birmingham highway system will prob
ably have been finished and the city
may then look with real pride on her
system of streets.
