B. Stanton and John M, Lee, president and secretary of the Norwich Playgrounds associa- tion, appeared, asking for an appro- priation for the fittlng up of the play- ground off Lake street. The assocla- tien is to do the best it can towards arranging the grounds there for the use of children during the summer, but it is anxious that the city appro- priate the sum of $300 for the pur- pose. - The public works committee last season spent quite a little time doing seme grading on the grounds. The amount asked for will be placed in the budget to be acted upon in the city meeting in June. Washington Street. The committee has also received a petition from the residents of Wagh- ington street, asking that that resi- dential and much used street be given the attention that it needs and the deeire was expressed that it be treat- ed with a top covering such as is used on the Hassam pavement. The committee considered that such » course would not be satisfactory and returned the petition with the recom- mendation that the petition be pre- sented again, asking that some definite amount be appropriated for the placing of Hassam pavement in Waghington street as far as such a sum will carry it and thus gradually get in a permanent road. It was believed that frost would throw the two or three wearing surface which might be placed on top of the present macadam, but that the six-inch Hassam pavement would make an excellent street. The street 18 in need of some such at- tention, as it has been a number of years since the macadam was put down.

Civil Engineer Pitcher accompanied the committee. He saw the same sireet five years ago at which time it had been laid for two years. In the seven years the constant use of the street has not worn down the pavemert an eighth of an inch. The city of Portland, Oregon, has many miles of the road. It first put down two miles of it in 1908, and the follow- ing year six more. In 1910 it laid 14 miles and in 1911 it built 29 more miles of the road, making a total of 51 miles. Springfield, Mo, has just voted to put in two miles of the road and there are 16 miles of it in the city of Lynn. It makes a street of nice appearance, cleaner than brick and without joints, so that it is not as noisy as brick. The cost is much less than brick. A square yard of brick costs $2,96 and the same amount of Hassamn pavement costs $1.50. In making the foundation of the | pavement, two-inch-ring stone is used { mixed with cement and then rolled | with a ten-ton roller. Local rock could be used for such foundation and it would be secured from the city's crusher by the company which builds the road. On top of the bed rock is placed three inches of trap rock and cement which is rolled and forms the weuaring surface. There are expansion jointg at the curb and also casion- ally across the street to ailow for expansion and contraction. The patent is In the mixing and construction. The ! crushed stone, cement and trap roeck i= put down about eight inch thick but rolls down to a thickne of six inches. It does not have a slippery surface and can be used on quite a grade, ASKING HELP FROM COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED | W. C. T. U. Sends Letter—Move to Exterminate Houses of 11l Repute.
