With the hordsurfacinf! of the mac adam highway through Athena, and a portion of it at least on Main street, the opportunity is presented for the paving of the street from the O.-W K. & N, depot to the intersection of Fifth street, a distance of five blocks Perhaps never again woulJ such fav orable conditions be encountered for doing this work, so far as assemblage of equipment and men is concerned lhe Warren Construction company would be on the ground with its plant in performance of its contract work on the state highway. Thus the contract ing company would be in a position to pave the entire width of the street with the one operation required of its machinery and men, already employed by it in state and county work. Athena's macademized street has served its purpose long and well, but at a frightful cost of maintenance. In the aggregate, thousands of dollars have been expended in the years since the macadam has been in use, for wa ter binding. ilnd of later years for oiling the surface of the street. But how .the wearirip life of the 'macadam has become exhausted arid its deterioration may be 'witnessed in the general breaking up of the' surface, marked by depressions over the entire length of the thoroughfare which is in variabl followed by the gouging out process entailed I y constant automobile traflic. The stability of the present macadam surface has ceased to exist. To remodel the street with macadam would be sheer folly in the free of past experience, to say nothing of the permanency of bitulithic construction over that of the macademized method. It would seem that Athena with her street, is in much the same plight in which the county was confronted with her macadam road in order to save what she has left of the road, she Ben sibly pioceeded to hardsurafce it.
