/ \ N TRINI The attention of those contemplating ‘the paving of their streets phalt pavement that may be ordered in this city during 1890. NDAY, MAY 25, 00--TWENTY PAGES. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SU , =—$248, $2.68 and 8288 Per Square Yard= These sphalt PAVEMENT and avenues during the present year, is invited to the following exhibit of our bid of May 9, for as- greatly reduced prices put a genuine Trinidad Asphalt Pavement within the reach of all. Asphalt is cheap, because it is moderate ‘in its first cost, the company caring for it the first fivg’ years free of cost to the property owner or the city; cheap, because the company has a contract with the city to repair and keep in good condition the asphalt pavements for ten additional years, making fiftecen years of assured comfort and luxury without additional cost to the propcrty holder, repairs being paid from the general fund; cheap, because an asphalt pavement is repairs forever, wood or brick means an entire new pavement in a very few years, thus entailing a second paving lien against your property before the first one is more than half discharged. Asphalt is desirable, because it is clean and noiseless, is a luxury to drive upon, a perfectly sanitary pavement and is casily, quickly and perfectly repaired; desirable, because in the near future the city will cease to vote bonds for intersections, at a time when the wood and brick streets will demand repaving, this will leave you with a wrecked and impassable street, as was the case for five and six years in Washington, and Washington’s experience is to be repeated in this city very soon. America today,over two hundred and sixty miles of it now in use and growing in popular favor; New York City, Newark, Albany,Schenectady, Milwaukee, Altoona, Dun- kirk, Fort Wayne, Kansas City, Wyandotte and Wichita having adopted it during 1889; Buffalo has one million two hundred thousand yards, and takes an additional half million yards this year wholly on the petition of the property owners. Not a Yard of Genuine Asphalt Pavement laid by the Barber Company has ever been Replaced by other Material While on the other hand over one million yards of wood, Medina sand stone and granite have been taken up and replaced with asphalt by this company. Asphalt is the recognized standard pavement of Following is our bid, arranged according to severity of traffic the strect will be subject to, you have thirty days in which to petition for choice of material for your street, blank petition may be had upon ap plication to this office [428 Ramge Block] where diagram of streets may be seen and information cheerfully given.
