Delphi is putting in a lot of fine macadam streets in which asphalt is used as a binder. The streets extend into the country and are being built under the' township road law. The street looks mighty fine, and we believe it would be a good idea for a committee or for a few who are interested in the proposed street improvements here if they would go to Delphi and investigate the method of construction there. WJhile brick is the best kifld of street, probably, from the standpoint of endurance, there is considerable objection because it is so hard on horses' feet A bithulitic pavement about the Delphi courthouse was constructed six years ago and has never had any repairs. It is apparently as good as new. It'might be a good idea to investigate a little before deciding on brick, and it may be that brick will be found to be the best after all. The asphalt bound macadam looks like it ought to last* forever, and makes a handsome street There was no remonstrance in Delphi against the improvement and the streets are being built by general township taxation.
