Preliminary steps havo beon tnkon
by some of tho lending business men
and property owners In tho business
district of Marshlleld to securo tho
imvlng of tho principal streets In tho
down town section. At a rccunt meet
ing City Engineer Sandberg was in
structed to gather data on tho
amount of work ami to furnish esti
mate's of tho cost. Unless prcbont
plans aro chnnged, tho paving project
will bo ono of tho largest municipal
Improvements and ono of tho most
beneficial over undertaken on Coos
Bay.
Tho meeting of business men nnd
affected property owners was called
by Mayor E. E. Straw and tho city
councllmen, nearly nil of tho latter
being present. It is tho intention of
Mayor Straw and tho council to act
cutlroly in accordnnco with tho wish
es of tho business men and property
owners In tho Impiovemont.
It wns tho senso of tho meeting
that treated wook blocks, probably
cedar or plno carbollnlum, bo used
Instead of planks, but this may bo
chnnged whon City Engineer Sand
borg concludes his investigations and
makes his icport In a few days, es
pecially as to Front street. Somo be

plank is used there, it will ho necos

PAVING WILL
BE WELL DONE

its
&
method to bo adopted for permanent
ly impioving tho street.
J. T. McCormac, president of tho
Chamber of Commerce, said tho im
provement had beon discussed for
some tlmo past nt his meetings, and
ho and several others ( in fact nearly
everyone present) expressed an opin
ion regarding tho kind of improve
ment which would be most desirable.
Action Is Taken.
After a full expression of opinions,
a motion was put by J. W. Dennett
nnd seconded by J. E. Oren, tho lat
ter on behnlf of tho C. A. Smith Lum
ber and Manufacturing Company,
that Front street bo paved from tho
north lino of tho city hall to C street,
and that tho specifications provide
for a four-Inch concieto base, prop
erly constructed with ono inch of
sand on top as a base for tho block
pavement prepared by earbolinium as
tho council might direct. This mo
tion was carried without a dissenting
voice.
Hugh McLnln suggested that whito
cedar blocks of burned cedar trees
could bo used without tho expense of
tho carbollnlum, which ho said would
cost about ono dollar a squaro yard.
That tho majority of thoso present
scorned to favor the idea that tho ce
dar would Inst fifteen or twenty yenrs
without any preparation, nnd thnt
this matter will bo taken into con
sideration by tho city council nnd en
gineer when tho Improvement is un
dertaken. Other Streets Discussed.
Thoso Interested in A, n nnd C
streets were nlso anxious for tho Im
provement of them, nnd steps will bo
taken ns soon ns tho engineer can ac
complish tho work to lmvo these
streets permanently improved. It
was suggested also by J. S. Coko that
tho contract for Cedar street nnd Sec
ond street bo changed so as to make
tho improvement thero conform with
others. This was also to bo taken
under consideration.
Tho question of planking tho
streets was ono which nt first seemed
to bo favored by qulto a number, but
It wns bhown conclusively that undor
existing conditions plank would bo
ontlrelj lnadequato in some places.
In tho Utenkwuter wnrohouue, whon
tho Flanagan & Bennett snfe ins re
cently hauled for tho new bank on
ono of tho heavy trucks, and by ono
of tho heavy Malloy teams, It was
demonstrated that no matter how
now or how substnntnl these planks
would bo that for heavy teaming thoy
would bo impracticable, and would
last only a few years, and would bo

liablo to causo serious loss at any
tlmo, especially if they are any dis
tanco above tho ground.
The teaming during tho last two
years is very different from that for
merly done, as Dr. McCormac ex
plained, when he told of the effect of
teaming on tho streets of Astoria.
Thero 4x12 plank were used in places
along tho water front, where they
weio unbnlo to put in more substan
tial streets. The constant wear! and
the corks in the horses' shoes caused
tho wood to chip so that' it was cov
ered about an inch deep in places,
which he noticed when passing the
water front. This in winter proved
equivalent to about ono inch of mud,
whereas in summer time It was so
dry that it was a menace to tho place
by flro being caused from it.
Fn or Work P.uing.
Tho portion of Front street nbo.-e
montloned between the city hall and
C street has a substantial foundation,
and it was claimed by some that tho
block pavement will undoubtedly
provo entirely satisfactory. Blok
pavements can also bo used on any
of tho streets farther back from ho
water front, but on that portion of
Front street which has no founda
tion, othor thnn tho mud flat, It will
bo necessary to contlnuo using tho
plank until tho foundation Is made
for It.
Tho fooling wns unanimous that
tho streets of tho town should bo im
proved, nnd that wherever the foun
dation permitted it tho Improvement
should bo of a substantial character.
Mr. Sandberg, tho city engineer,
explained tho method of construction
of tho various substantial improve
ments of streets nnd tho piobable cost
of tho samo, and M. jor Straw also
gavo estimates, which ho obtalued in
Portland, regarding tho cost. After
considering all that has been said, tho
block pavemont seemed to havo be.-n
considered tho most suitnblo for tho
conditions existing In Mnrshfleld.
