tr WAT A 18 WINNETKA TALK August 4, 1928 FINISH STREET WORK Resurfacing of Numerous Kenilworth Streets Practically Completed; Sub- scriptions Defray Cost Re-surfacing work on several of Kenilworth's streets is practically com- pleted. The work was begun the lat- ter part of June by the Rock Road Construction company. An approxi- mate total of more than 19,000 square yards of street surface has been im- proved. The cost of the work has been covered by subscriptions from abutting property owners. Patching up of the holes in the streets was the first step in the process. A coat of tar was then put on and was covered with pea gravel, after which another coat of tar was applied. Grad- ing with the road maintainer to pro- vide a smooth wearing surface was the next step in the process. Finally, the streets on which work was done were rolled with a heavy roller, and sand applied to take up the excess tar. Many Streets Improved Following are the streets which have been resurfaced or improved: Leicester road from the north line of Oxford road to the north line of Woodstock avenue. Woodstock avenue from the east line of Leicester road to the east line of Essex road. Warwick road from the north line of Oxford road to the south line of Kenilworth avenue.
