Moderate Priced Street Pavement Used at Monticello.

Monticello Journal. People of Monticello have begun to realize the possibility of concrete for street improvement and the more so since the completion of the alley improvement by the poetot flce. In this instance, the concrete is made with a mixture of broken limestone, of the size usually put on the street just before the screenings are spread over the surface. The thickness of concrete used in the alley mentioned is more than ample, and figures out a price, so it is understood, of about $1.12 per square yard—much less than brick or asphalt streets. In construction, on streets already improved, the preparation of the road bed is complete and all that is necessary before application of the new surface is the loosening up of the present surface'and the leveling up of inequalities of surface.
