â€"~ â€" dTREET PAVE manent pavement, which the board of local improvements, the engineers, the contractor and the community can alâ€" ways be proud of. mands or as space permits, changed the design of pavements considerably> _ Concrete pavements used to be six to seven inches thick, without reinforcement or expansion joints. Methods of mixing, methods of laying, finishing and curing were unsatisfactory, yet some of these pavements have been doing service for 10 to 13 years. True they show some irregular cracks due to expanâ€" sion and the riding qualities are not equal to those on concrete laid today, but the maintenance has been small. . Thickness of Pavement Today yie do not construct any pavement of less thickness than eight inches. Our business streets have pavements varying in thickness from 8 to i1 inches, the thickness dependâ€" ing on the type and volume of traffic as estimated for future years. Threeâ€" eighths inch expansion joints are placed 30 feet apart throughout the length of the job and extend from edge to edge of pavement. These do away with cracking by allowing for expansion. To keep the joints even, or in other words to prevent one slab fromâ€"setâ€" tling away from another, threeâ€" fourths inch round steel bars are inâ€" stalled at each joint. These bars are two feet long and have one end oiled to prevent bond with the concrete of ;;:;-si;;::“ The other .end bonds !thlth :_lr:l:e:t‘.’“l'r;l:":::b :smn':;':fi; ;;::{ the concrete of the adjacent slab. hlls> structed after the pavement has been allows the b;r_ to move with the s fsid, thus allowing the use of the without breaking the pavement.

The inspection is the keystone of good construction. Our inspectors are men of proven ability, trained by experâ€" ience and education to build lasting pavements. Materials must be inâ€" spected, grades and contours checked, all details of construction rigidly enâ€" forced from the drainage construction through the subgrading and actual paving operations. Methods of conâ€" struction so as to obtain the true even surface of which we are proud, checkâ€" ing cement and other materials used to see that the city is receiving the proper amounts, keeping records of all work and being the representative of the board of local improvements is the work of the inspector. It has been the good fortune of this city this past year to have conâ€" structed some of the best concrete pavements ever built in this city and they will compare favorably with like improvements anywhere in the counâ€" try. Each year they should be betâ€" For several years the integral type of curb has been used practically all along the North Shore. The curb is constructed on top of the edges of the pavement immediately after the concrete for the pavement slab has (Continued from page 1) Corselettes have been popular yet there exists a bad feature regarding them. Most corselette garments are not designed to fit but depend upon wide elastic sections over hips or seat to stretch and fit the figure. This method is wrong because as the rubber stretches, the bones move out of place, turn on edge and alter the true balance of the garment. The only elastic in Molâ€" dene is at groin for greater comfort in sitting and it can not alter the shape of garment. â€" Moldene Combination Garment JACK and JILL SHOP Integral Curb and the coâ€"operaâ€" {‘I"-,l 5 I\E.';_; 4 !‘f (a _ag-., HAF sys t# ts The integral curb has been used for few pavement improvements in the past two years, for sevâ€"ral reasons, .the foremost reason being the necesâ€" sity of future widening of many paveâ€" ments. Also the daily production by This causes the curb to bond with the slab, making it an integral part of the pavement. This type of curb was c e n OR TR and handling of majerials and the use of skilled labor has increased to such an extent that it is difficult to keep the curb construction close enough beâ€" hind the paving operation to insure the proper bonding between: curb and pavement. ‘This requires the inspecâ€" tion department to slow down paving production and is a cause for dissatâ€" isfaction on the part of the contractor. For most of our business streets where there is a likelihood of a great many heavy cars and trucks being pulled up to the curb, the separate curb has been used with success. This curb is constructed adjacent to the edges of the pavement. The base exâ€" tends into the ground thirty to thirtyâ€" six inches below the top of the conâ€" crete, the curb part extending the reâ€" quired height above the top of the pavement. The thickness of the base varies from nine inches to twelve inches. This type of curb was used for the whole system of Ravinia Highland paving. & Combined Curb and Gutter The most widely used type of curb is the combined curb and gutter. This consists of a gutter pan and ‘curb. The gutter pan which is adjacent to the edge of the pavement is of the same thickness as the slab. Where it is necessary to widen streets, as will be required in the future for many of our pavements, it can be done with ease with this type curb. Threeâ€"quarter inch dowel bars extendâ€" ing through the edges of the concrete pavement seat help to maintain a true, even surface and prevent setâ€" tlement. This curb is generally conâ€" structed after the pavement has been laid, thus allowing the use of the pavement while work on the curb is progressing. # * DE LUXE Sunday Monday & Tuesday Dec "THE WISE WIFE" Saturday Tom Moore â€" Phyllis Haver Jacqueline Logan 1 Joseph Shriker Ved., Thurs., Fri., Dec. 7â€"8â€"9 "THE COLLEGE WIDOW".
