The Paving Question Continued from first pago. opportunity to examine the differ ent kinds of pavement laid down in Chicago. The pavement constructed in the cities named above was not put down by the Wcstrutnitc Company, but by independent contractors who purchased their material from the Westhumitc company. At our request Messrs. Lyons nud Wallace have written letters giving the streets, the date of construction and their opiniou as to the quality and virtues of this pavement a copy of each of these letters is hereto at tached as a part of this report. City Kngincer Lyons in the course of his discussion with us ex pressed his opinion that the end of ten years the Westrumite pavement would be in as sound condition as when first laid down. He nlso said that the oldest pavement they . had had never cost them a dollar of ex pense for repairs. These engineers also stated to us that solne of these streets were subjected to very heavy trnffic. be mi? on t ic route to mm from the steel mills nnd were sub icctcd to loads of from four to six tons. each. It is our individual opinion that the Westrumite pavement is cheap cr and better than sheet asphalt nt the same mice. The streets which are longest laid down nnd utwn which the heaviest traffic appeared to have been seemed to us to have improved in appear- mice by age and use. According to tins years census the ponulat on of Kast Chicago is between 19 and 20 thousand, and the city of Hammond between 24 and 35 thousand. Respectfully submitted A. A. Miller, A. J.

Under the In diaun law we draw plans for and receive bids 011 four wearing stir faces. After the bids are opened ami read we wait ten days to give the property owners time to compare the bids and pavements, nnd in nearly every case they have petition cd for Westrumite. In fact, so unanimously has West rumite been endorsed here by tax payers that, since the first of the year 1007 we have used other ma terials for the construction of but two streets excepting broken lime stone macadam. Prom an engineering standpoint I can conscientiously recommend the Westrumite. I have had entire charge of the construction of the above named streets and have watched them very closely since they were finished and find that Westrumite has all the good features of any modern city pavement 1 namely; It is uolsclcss.dustlessuipervlous to street liquids, not slippery, wears well under modern traflic conditions looks well, pleases the tax payers, is easily put dowu and easily re paired. These two latter reasons must uot be overlooked in choosing an as phalt pavement. If I have overlooked anything please advise me. Yours very truly, C.K.WAIJvACU, City Kugiueer. The City of Hammond, Indiana. Office of City Civil Kugiueer, November 15,1910. Arthur A. Miller, Ksq., Crookston, Minn. Dear Sir; In accordance with your request, I beg leave to make the following report, relative to the Westrumite Asphalt Macadam pavement con structed iu the city of Hammond, Iudlaua. uauer street was constructed iu in tlie year 1900. 10wie street was constructed iu the year 1908, Wul- thain street, Ada street, Claude street, Walter street, Ruth street, and Truman street were construct ed In 1909. All the streets above named were constructed of Wcstru mite wearing surface of two iuches in the center of street tapering to OIK and one-half iticlieaat the sides. Five of the above streets Htm a foundation of six inches of select slae and two inches of broken lime stone, and three had a foundation base of eight inches of broken lime stone, thoroughly rolled. The streets above shown nre all in first class shane today. There is not n flaw nor a crack in one of them, and the best argument I can offer is that the property owners who pay the bills are thoroughly satis fied with them. They ore noise less, dustless, free from ruts and impervious to street liquids. They arc superior in my opinion to sheet asphalt, the body composition oc ing broken stone, whereas sheet as plialt is a small fiber, and witli a little traffic they appear to crack badly, and with heavy traffic with iron wheels they do not appear to hold better than ten years; then when repairs must be made, it is necessary to have a heating plant and skilled workmen to do the work, whetcas, the Westrumite as phalt docs not need a lot of intricate machinery and skilled workmen on account of Westrumite being laid cold. Whenever It becomes neces sary to make a repair on account of defective water or sewer cornice tious, an ordinary street laborer can mix up a batch or Westrumite com position, tamp it in the street open ing and on account of its cementing quality it makes a perfect anneal incut, and in n week's time it is almost impossible to pick out the place where repair was made. You will note that I write of broken limestone. SSZTSrJSK. itc 1 would tutc granite for limestone, even though you can secure the lime- stone at a smaller figure, for the granite will repay you in the life of the pavement. You will also note I speak of rolled stone foundation for streets. It is simnlv because the property owneis petitioned for the same. In my opinion the concrete foundation is far sucrlor. You get a more even ana mtrnmc pave- mcnt. Truman street, which I quote, is in front of our public li brary and No. 2 fire station. Here we maintain our heaviest fire engine and hook and ladder (we have four here) and consequently the way tuey tear out to a lire is about as lard a test of durability as one can conceive, but there is not a flaw in the pavement here yet. On that account, of course, one must sec the mvements themselves to thorough y satisfy themselves. We have several brick pavements in our city 1.1.1 . ...

I am sending you enclosed our annual statement relative to the pavements in our city and the length of time laid, as you will sec there ore overso.oooyordsof West rumitc laid here now. Thanking you for your inquiry. 1 remain, very rcspcctlully, l'KTKIl J. LYONS. City Civil Engineer. From same paper: After having ordered an asphalt pavement in October 011 the entire length of Houston avenue and three other streets, the city council last evening turned n complete somer sault iu the nir and lauded right side up by passing resolutions re schilling nil previous actions re gardiug paving those streets and ordered Westrumite instead on the ten-year payment plan, thus leav ing Ash street only to be paved with asphalt the coming year, with a change to Westrumite possible there also. i ne action was taicen as the re ,t .a . sult of a junket taken by Mayor tMCMiiuou, Aldermen Hughes and Christiatisou and Messrs L. W. I.arson, A, A. Miller, A. M. Sivert sou and Dr. C. K. Dampicr, chap. erotied by Representative Putnam of the Westrumite company. The party went to Chicago, near where a large amount of Westrumite had been laid, and on their return they reported strongly iu favor of Westrumite. Iu addition, the citv engineers of Kast Chicago and and, Hammond, Iud,, gave the com mittee detailed statements of their opinion of that class of pavement, wlilcli were very favorable. On the return of the committee. petitions were circulated with a re- suit that too per cent of the prop erty owners on Second street and Pletclicr street, nearly 00 tier cent. of the property owners on Houston avenue, and over 75 per cent, of the property owners on Robert street signed up, and iu deference to this overwhelming expression of the property owners the council acted unanimously last evening in rescinding the asphalt resolution, ami passing tlie Westrumite reso lution. The city engineer was in structed to prepare plans and speci fications and bids will be called for as soon as the legal formalities can be gone through with. The paving contemplated of all kinds next year will cost between $50,000 and $75, 000. How Is Your Title?
