BRICK PAVING
MOST PRACTICAL
So Says City Engineer Mc
Namara After Inquiry.
Tho following letter to Tho Trlbuno
by City Engineer C. J McNatnara will
be of Interest to residents of tho olty
as It contains some vital facts re
garding tho paving of streets together
with estlmntcs on tho differcn pay
ment constructions.
In conjunction with this letter It
must bo borno In mind that the tax
payers of North Platto arc required
to pay only for the paving of the street
Intersections and the remnindcr, com
prising over four-fifths of tho expense
1b homo by tho owners of the property
abutting on tho paved streets. Theso
samo property owners will also pay
their apportionment for tho paving of
the intersections nnd it will be higher
than residence owners will have to
pay as their property is assessed high
er. Tho following Is Mr,. McNamara's
letter:
Editor Tribune: I have been asked by
a riumber of prominent citizens for in
formation regarding the cost of vnr
ous kinds of street paving also my
opinion as to tho best type for North
Platte, should our city decide to pave
the business streets. As this subject Is
of Interest to every citizen I would like
to present it through the columns of
your paper.
In order to get fairly accurate fig
ures ns to the cost, letters were sent
to a number of cities in the state ask
ing for data on paving and I also made
estimates with what Information I had
a hand and submit tho following
prices of cost per square yard for
different pavement construction:
Concrete, $1,50 per squaro yard.
Asphalt, $1.85 per square yard.
Brick, $2.30 per square yard.
Wood Block, $2,80 per square yard
Tho abovo figures should only be
taken as preliminary estimates for
there are several Indefinite quantities
considered whicli cannot be deter
mined until tho details of the typo
of pavement decided upon arc noched
out nnd a survey made of the street,
In caso of brick pavement for In
stance, it will bo necessary to know
how much excavation Is required,
depth of concreto base, kind of brick
and filler to be used.
For the business Btreets I am very
much in favor of brick pavement on
concreto base using asphalt or cement'
grout ns a filler. Where brick Is used1
'it is an easy matter to repair and;
when the pavement is taken up for'
water mains, gas mains or conduits
the brick can be ro-lald with almost
their original surface by ordinary la
bor. This typo of pavement gives good
service nnu while the first cost ex
ceeds that of concrete or asphalt It
will last longer and is les8 expensive
x.i.
iu maintain.
On Dowey or Locust street brldk
paving will cost the abutting property
owner $G.90 per lineal foot or $152 for
twnety-two foot frontage. Street In
terseclons will cost $1460 based on any
estimate of $2.30 per square yard.
This Is a good year for paving as
work is scarce and contractors tire
bidding close, tho city would also get
a large number of bids,.

Jefferson School Closed.
The Jefferson school was closed yes
terday morning on account of high
water. The water was standing nearly
three Inches deep In tho basement nnd
tho sewers wcro all out of ubo on ac
count of tho water backing up from
tho river
Several pcoplo in tho city havo re-
'ported water In their cellars from the
seepage and back water. Both rivers
are extremely high and cause the
water to back up the sewers and the
ground Is so much soaked that water
seeps out through the walls of cel
lars. Tho ground Is in such a satur
ated condition that a hole three feet
deep will fill with seeepage water
nearly a foot. Unless the wet weather
discontinues soon there will be much
trouble in tho city.
