7ednesday 'vening IT_arch 2nd. , I927. 283 • concrete construction. I have obtained the prices of Mashed gravel and sand' in South Bend together with the cost of bank run material and find that by estimating, irdth top figures, the increased cost of our different types of improvements will be as follows Pavement base 7V to 9-V higher per square yard. Curb 2V` higher per lineal foot. sidewalk IV higher per square foot. I am reliably informed that competion in materials may even reduce these figures appreciably: Paving costs are not high -in South Bend, as compared with: other cities of it's size, and I am firmly of the opinion that any increase in cost, develope as a result of better materials used in our concrete, will be a good investment.
