Yesterday Mayor Sandford said: “ I believe that Forest Grove, this Summer, has received the best pavement in its history. I was at first opposed to a concrete base, but am now a firm be liever in such a street. The Lindrn- Kibbe Company have constructed their work in a highly satisfactory manner, and have been very accommodating throughout their entire stay in our city. ” Forest Grove now has forty blocks of hard surface pavement, which is esti mated at about four miles, which is probably more per capita than any other city in the State. The pavement this year has been on the Gales Creek road and on Pacific Avenue, which gives hard surface roads to the city limits in two directions. In termediate blocks also were paved. The bitucrete pavement which ha been laid here this Summer consists of a five-inch concrete base, on which i.- laid an inch of surface “stuff,” which is a mixture of fine rock and a com pound of bitum, asphalt, etc. This is bound to the base so tightly that when tested the concrete would separate from the concrete or the surface separate from the surface before the surface would separate from the base. This pavement has all the good qualities of any of the asphalt pavements, and in addition combines the advantages of a permanent base. During the work in this city many experts and others have examined the paving as it was being laid here, and all have been unanimous in saying that Forest Grove was receiving absolutely the best paving possible to obtain. The boys on the job for the company have been Jack Tyler, superintendent of the entire work: G. E.JKu.npe, fore man of the grading crew; Charles Fletcher, foreman of the curb crew; George Clawson, concrete foreman; Ed. Hoskinson, surface mixer; Jack Bur dette, foreman of the hot stuff crew, and several hundred helpers under their supervision. The heads of the company have frequently inspected the work, to see that tbftir instructions for a first- class job were being satisfactorily followed. BOLD ROBBER MAKES GOOD HIS GETAWAY Betwee 3:45 and 5 o’clock last Friday afternoon an unknown thief entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Baber who with their daughter Mrs McCloud live on the south east comer of First Avenue and Third Streets. At about fifteen minutes of f jur Mrs. Baber and her daughter went out calling and re turned at five o’clock. Mr. Baber was at work which left the huuse alone fur one hour and fifteen minutes. All the doors were locked, Mrs Baber was the first to enter the house and noting a soiled piece of linen on the dining table she at once saw that something was wrong. Also the window was open. The thief evidently enteied the dining room thru the window, took a purse containing considerable money from the secretary, which was in the hallway adjoining the dining room, and proced- ed up stairs to the room of Mr. Baber from there he went into the chamber of Mrs. McCloud. Both of these rooms were ransacked. Returning down staiis his thoughts evidently centered on the sideboard which contained some very valuable silver, He laid the linen clo.h on the table, at this point in his work (Continued on Page Five) 0P FN Ç U lL llJ 60th YEAR WITH ENTHUSIASM Dr. C.
