LINDEN VALLEY BQRN CONCRETE. â€" The committee in- spected a great number of concrete roads in Wayne county and the city of Detroit, and the opinion was that ‘the concrete road answered the pur- ' pose as well as any of the other roads, was of a pleasing appearance and after several years of traffic, showed no signs of wear or rather any wear there might have been was so evenly distributed over the sur- face as to Show not the faintest sign of a rut or unevenness. The road is hard or harder than the ordinary concrete sidewalk and of sufficient roughness to afiord a good foot hold for the horses’ hoofs; the motor traf- fic has apparently no injurious efâ€" fect and from the opinions gathered the life of the road could be placed; a smooth finish. Expansion joints are placed every twenty-five feet across the pavement. These joints are made of steel plates 3-8 inches in thickness, with a double thickness of tarred felt between the plates. This makes a beautifully finished street, but the opinion gathered seemed to be that the reinforcing under ordin- ary conditions is a useless expense, also that the finishing coat is unne- cessary. The cost of this pavement runs from $1.70 to $2.00. can be built at a. cost of from $1.25 to $1.35 per sq. yard. The appearâ€" ance of the finished road is very pleasing, and gives excellent satis- ‘faction as long as it remains in good }condition, but it is not considered a long life road.
