asphalt, when well laid, has a smooth,
even surface and is comparatively
noiseless, but it is hard on horses and

Senator Lane has observed the metn

clares that he has seen no pavements

Inches of asnhalt. whereas it ought to
be four Inches or more in thickness to
give a good wearing surface. He has
