Text Appearing Before Image: hth street to Fourteenthstreet, upon new concrete base to Forty-second streetand upon the old stone blocks relaid flat upon twoinches of sand over the old six-inch to eight-inch con-crete base below Forty-second street. The cost was$5.37 per square yard. Asphalt was extended in 1901 down Broadway toCanal street, and cost $6.31 per square yard. This in-cluded fifty-nine cents for relaying the old blocks fiatupon the old concrete base and also ten years main-tenance. This should include strewing sharp sandwhen the pavement is slippery, as on Fifth avenue andon all wood-block and asphalt pavements abroad. The average cost of a guarantee in Buffalo is put byF. V. E. Bardol, M. Am. Soc. C. E. (see page 56), atthree cents per square yard for the first five years andfifteen cents for the second five years or eighteen centsfor ten years. The probable cost of a guarantee for the third fiveyears would in some cases equal the cost of an entirerenewal of the surface. 121 CITY ROADS AND PAVEMENTS.
