PAGE TEN (THE CAPITAL JO UKNAL, SALE& OKEGON TUESDAY, JUNE Iff, 1925. BAIN KEEPS NEW CITY PAVER IDLE AS TIME SPEEDS TJ i new Smith street paver, for - which tne city of Salem paid 16999 ' about two months ago Is all right If the weather la perfectly fair. But after a light rain or a night of hea y fog the machine la aa uaeleee for paving street aa kid's expresu wagon. The machine is supposed to have paving capacity of something like 1200 square yards, a block or thereabouts, every day. But during I the entire first half of June, be cause of rain and fog, the mach ine hasn't turned a wheel. Explanation la made that the pav r Itself Is all right. It would work right along If sand and gravel coul dbe gotten to It. But If the dirt surface of an unpuved street Is a little wet ti e heavy motor trucks of the sand and gravel com pany with which the city has con tracted for material are unable to reach the paving machine. Under the old system of paving streets, used u pto this year, the method was for the trucks to haul the ma terial to the street and atrew It along the edges of the street when ven convenient. It might be sev eral days before the paving actual . ly Is started. . But under the new system It Is necessary for the ; trucks, each hauling three cubic I yards, to drive to the paver and dump the sand an dgravel direct ly Into the machine as It operates. And If the trucks can't net to the paver, the paver can't operate. Discussion of the paver came up at the city council meeting last night i connection with a bid on a street grader and skimmer that the city may purchase. Concern ing the paver, now idle. Alderman Rosebraugh expressed the opinion tha twlth the coming of good weather It would soon catch up with Its work. The council rejected the bid of 16700 for the grader, but eovoral other bids on gasoline machines are still under consideration. JEFFERSON REELECTS ': v -' .
