NEWELL COMPANY
 TO BUILD HIGHWAY
Will Lay Eight Miles Of Mont gOmery-Birmingham Road

The Newell Construction company will build eight miles of the concrete highway connecting with the paved road at the top of Shades mountain on the Birmingham-Montgom highway and extending to the Shelby county line.
 The Newell Construction company is among the oldest road building con tractors ill the state, and Jefferson county is fortunate in having this com pany selected to construct this most important road.
 Construction work will be in charge of John NJ. Harbert who is associated with the Newell Construction company in this work. He is now moving his equipment to the south end of this project at the Shleby county line and will build the approaches to the con- crete Cahaba river bridge this winter.
 As soon as the grading contractor on this work furnishes the grading, the Newell Construction company will com mence laying concrete paving Mir Harbert says his company is well equipped with the latest road build ing machinery, and is prepared to lay one of Alabama's best concrete roads.
 
 The woman who spends q great DOT tion of her time in the home is the most vitally interested member of the family in having the residence street paved. It is she who fights the daily battle against dirt with the broom and dust cloth, and whose mind dwells more along the lines of appearance and cleanliness.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-27

possibly there or four feet. Motorists will see the reason for this at once. No careful driver will squeeze his car close to sharp-tipped, perpendicular curb ing. He knows that disastrous injuries to the tire fabric win result. In conse- quence he parks from six inches to a foot away from. the curb. The service able width of the street is cut down just that many inches. If the car parks directly across the street, multiply the decrease by two.
 Safety In Sloping Surface E
 A rounded cement curb with sloping surface permits the auto owner to park his car flush with the bottom of the curbing. There is no possibility of in jury to his tires, and the entire center of the street becomes effective for traf- flee.
 Sharp corners make intersections dan gerous for driving and the insanitary collection of refuse and dirt against the sharp curb wall is done away with. The first rain flushes the gutter immed- lately, and this sanitary feature of the sloping curb recommends it strongly to property owners. .
 Costs Less Than Old Style
 Actual construction of this curb has been so simplified by the development of efficient forms and simple methods that the cost usually is less than that of the old type. This is true whether the curb is made by the monolithic pro cess, concurrently with construction of the street, in which event it is called integral curb" or is placed with n gutter unit, after the street has been completed.

CONCRETE PAVING IN
 TWO MORE TOWNS
Mitchell Bros. Complete Good water And Lanett Contracts

Mitchell Bros. of Birmingham, one of the oldest contracting firms in Ala bama laying concrete paving, have com pleted street paving in both Goodwater and Lanett, Ala, this year. These two towns were assisted by the state high way commission in financing, their street paving and concrete was selected as the type to best serve their require ments.
 Mitchell Bros. secured both contracts and laid a first-class concrete pavement for each community. They have placed four blocks of concrete paving in Good water and 19 blocks in Lanett. The citizens of Goodwater, feeling justly proud of their street, opened same with a big barbecue on the Fourth of July.
 The paving in Lanett has just been completed, and undoubtedly the official opening of this new thoroughfare will be announced shortly. Lanett is cot ton mill town and the Lanett Cotton mill offered to pay part of the cost of the paving if the state highway con- mission would make it concrete. Mitchell Bros. have recently pur- chased new equipment and are now in position to handle concrete paving proj- ects of any size. They have had long and successful experience in the con- struction of this type of streets and highways.

Suppose the street that fronts your home is 36 feet wide from curb to curb, and that the particular type of curbing used, is straight up-and-down, square cornered, and as is usually the case where natural stone is used, sharp of edge.
 Then suppose that this is replaced by a cement curb with rounded or sloping face, graduating approximately two inches in from the road at the top and equipped with rounded corners.
 How much wider, then, would the ef- fective surface of your street become with this change? -Four inches" you say, adding the two and two of each side. You're wrong.
 The effective width of the street be. comes increased at least 24 inches, and
