CONCRETE FOR ¥mm under BAN JJY' CITY of Councilman Draw Attention to Situation. Charges of Councilman Walter W. Wise that members of the board of works refuse to allow property owners to obtain concrete- as paving material for the streets on which they live has drawn attention it Ajthe city hall to the paving situation in general. This fact definitely established —that concrete as a paving material, despite the fact that its costs is considerably lower than other substances, is under a ban estaablished by the city engineer’s office and enforce 1 in most instances by the board of. works. Four Types * Under the law, the city engineer is aiy.horized to prepare specifications for four types of paving material. Concrete was specified during the administration of John Elliott as city engineer! His successor, Frank C. Lingenfelter, has refused to include concrete. Lingenfelter’s objection to concrete is said to be sincere and based upon a doubt of its durability as a paving material. The only method for owners to obtain concrete is esItablished by the law providing for fcir of a fifth type of material "r submission of a petition signed by a majority of persons owning homes on the street within ten days after public notice of the improvement. The fypes of paving now specified by Lingenfelter are asphalt, asphaltic concrete, brick and wooden block. . - Difficult Situation ‘I tis a difficult situation,” an administration official said today. ‘‘When concrete was included in the specifications, there was almost armed warfare on the thoroughfares to be improved with asphalt and concrete interests battling to gain the favor of the property owners. A prevailing custom was the offer of free paving to an influential citizen on the street to be improved, if he would circulate a petition calling for the material represented by the negotiator. ‘‘Board members were amazed when signatures of the same citizen appeared on petitions callings for opposing materials, in a number of instances. Forgery was a common occum-nce.” The traditional asphalt-concrete battle has had some bearing ijpon the present councilmiinic rebellion, it was said by those in touch with the situation.
