Waukegan 120 w3 :4 -->~--~" WAUKEGAN, ILLINOIS Surpasees Last Year There are, at present, one hundred paving mixoers working in the state and several of them are laying one mile and more of pavement weekly. The present mileage of pavement completed this year on August 16, is 743.1 miles, which is twenty miles in excess of that laid up to the same dako of 1924. With favorable weather . condi tions, it is expected that the 1924 record of 1,229.48 miles will be sur-- week July 6 to 12 this year. To impress upom one the magoi-- tude of these figurps, the construc-- tion of this mileage means the ecompletion of one mile of pavement per working hour and --might be compared to the building of a conm tinuous eighteen foot concrae pare ment between Jacksonville and De eatur on Route 10 in one week, or a Route 24, from Xhe north city limits of Springfield to the river bridge, at ww%v«u ashows a new record in the laying of concrete pavement was made in the stas'e of Ilinols €Curing the week of August 10 to 16.
