Needs Sand

Construction OF a new Washte-
nav Ave. pavement from Brewer to
Normal SITS. Will be more costly
than was anticipated.
Due to frost boils in the clay soil
on the hill, state engineers have
decided that 1t will be necessary
to remove the clay and refill with
sand to provide a proper cushion
under the concrete. Twelve in
ches OF sand base will be needed
from Normal st. to Brewer ST., and
80 inches from there to Perrin St.
Four thousand eight hundred seven
ty-eight yards of clay will have to
be eliminated. Cost Of the addi-
tional work is estimated at $4,000
Of which the city VIII pay $500.
Concrete from the old pavement
is being taken to the city dump
where 1t is being used TO riprap
the river bank.
