Select Councilman Chittenden's Idea
that the city may save two oi tluee
cents per squaie yaid by maintaining
its own asphalt pavement repali plant
has lecelved a set-back.
.Mr. Chittenden introduced In councils
some-time ago a lesolution directing
City Eimineer Phillips to Investigate
the inattei and iepoit to councils. To
that end Mr. Phillips commuricated
with a number of city englneeis and
makeis ot asphalt laying maehineiy
and also uddtessed a letter ot Inquliy
tu the edltoi of Municipal Englneeilng
Thelettcl to the magazine edltoi con
tained the qutrj : "Can ou name any
cities which do their own asphalt pave
ment lepalilng and have their own as
phalt lepuli plant?" In the cuuent
number of the peilodlcal quite an ex
haustive answe-t Is gles as follows:
Caieful liuiuliy shows that no city of
Euiope oi America owns an asphalt pa
Ing plant, tho word plant meaning a lai
toiy, laigo oi small, for pu-paiing as
phalt paving mlxtuies ior sheet asphalt

We aie unable to say whethei these ie

they aio economical or not, because we
aie told that tho cost of labor, mater'als

Similar answers xvrte recolvod from
the makeis of asphalt laving mnchln

dicated lliat a lepalr outfit could be
made to order. It would cost from
$S,000 to $10,000 nnd would lenulro tho
employment of two experts asphnlt me
chanics nnd other employes so that for
labor alone tho cost would he approxi
mately $15 per day.
Mr, Phillips will probably send a com
munication to councils on the subject

It is sti autre that council sat ldl by

"The plalntllf fails entliely to make
out a case which would wanant the

amounts Instibstance to a lequest for
a ielew of a loime-r tiiul and for a
