THE HUE H.

The following letter received by Councilman A. S. Will will no doubt give some of the members of the city council an Insight to the paving mat ter, and before a final vote Is taken, it might be well for the members to study some of the suggestions made in the following letter before the matter Is fully determined and the contract entered Into for the work: Omaha, Nebraska, Aug. 17. 1910. Mr. A. S. Will, Plattsmouth, Nebraska. Dear Sir: Before the final vote of the coun cil on the class of paving to be adopt- d in your city, we wish to call to attention a few conditions with which you may be familiar and which we feel should receive careful considera tion In order that a good, permanent piece of work may be obtained. We have examined the streets very care fully and we feel that with our ex perience In the construction of pave ments under many circumstances, we are warranted In mentioning these matters as we find them. Any practical paving contractor will say thata 4 men concrete base should not be used except under very favorable conditions. We find the conditions in Plattsmouth satis factory for the use of a 4 inch base with the exception of the one block from 6th to 7th on Vine, where the ground Is rather spongy and where the paving is to slope toward the mid dle of the street. Either of these conditions are against the use of a light concrete base, and where they are both combined as they are in this l)lock, a heavier base than 4 Inches miss Anastisla Tlghe was in town uetween trains today, going to Om- ana mm arternoon. xm sEPT. 5 inc STATE'S BEST PRODUCTS WRIGHT BROS.

With a light base on this spongy ground cracks will be very apt to form in the concrete, and as you have specified a sand filler for your brick, there will be nothing to prevent the water from soaking in through the entiro paving and soon er or later undermining the entire block. For this block your class B should be specified, in fact, 6 inches of this block would be much more safe. For the rest of the work the 4 Inch concrete will do very nicely. For the curbing your class A will do very well with the exception of the block Just north of where yourj postornce is to be bulit. Here there will be a slight fill, and as the class A curbing is only 20 inches deep, It will extend only about 3 Inches be low the paving, which is not deep enough to be solid on a fill. For the curb Joining your postoffiee site on the east the class B or 24 inch curb should also be used. If this building were already erected it would not be so bad, but as the ma terial will all have to be hauled and plied over and around the curb, you will find that the 24 inch curb will be none too solid by the time the building is finished. ,Of course most any class of pav ing will remain in good shape during the year of guarantee, but if our company should be fortunate enough to secure this work, we feel that the conditions should be met in the con struction, so that the paving will remain in good shape for years to come. Yours truly, Beebe-Decker Paving Ce. Mrs. Stenner and her daughter Miss Gertrude returned from Omaha this afternoon. mi T09 - liiov "VAUDEVILLE 1 T The Total Vote That Each Candi date Received in the County Below will be found the total vote that each candidate received in Cass county.
