Immediately put the article in its

How everybody flew around putting
things away! In no time the room
looked as neat as pin. At first, no

ASPHALT PAVEMENT POPULAR
IN CITIES
Long Wear, Noiselessness, and
Smoothness, Reasons.

More and more asphalt pavements
are being laid where the traffic is
heaviest every year. With the ex-
perience of New York, where Fifth
Avenue, said to be the busiest street
in the world, as far as traffic is con-
cerned, to guide them, cities all over
the country are increasing their
asphalt streets.
According to statistics, the paved
streets of 300 American cities,
merged into single great highway
Is feet wide, would extend in a con-
tinuous pavement for a distance of
56,974.8 miles, or enough to more
than twice encircle the globe.
These 200 cities, which comprise
65.8 per cent of the 53,S9S,3S5
urban population of the United
States, rep 4 total of Col ,652,54
square yards of pavement. OF this
400, 463,14l square yards, or rs per
cent, are Of types higher than water
bound macadam. These higher
types in turn comprise percentages
of the total types higher than water
bound macadam as follows :Asphaltic
types, 53.9 per cent; brick, 21.9 per
cent; stone block, 11.6 per cent /;
wood block, 3.3 per cent; Portland
cement concrete SIS per cent; tar
macadam, 2.5 per cent; mis-
cellaneous, 1.3 per cent.
In the 65 cities of 100000 popula-
ton or more reporting, the asphaltic
types comprise $40 per cent of the
total yardage of pavements higher
than waterbound macadam. The
percentage for the other types higher
than waterbound macadam are as
follows: Brick, 1919 per cent; wood
block, 40 per cent; stone block, 14.5

Asphalt streets wear well, are
easily repaired when repairs are
necessary, are noiseless, smooth,
waterproof preventing drainage

by temperature changes, all of which
reasons contribute % the popularity
of this material for city pavements.
