THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CITY GETS HIGH QUALITY WORK, ENGINEER SAYS Supervision of Contractors Results in Better Paving Jobs. More Intelligent supervision and inspection of public improvement jobs in Indianapolis has resulted in a better quality of work. This is the. verdict of City Engineer A. H. Moore, who, reviewing two years as city engineer, today declared: “We don’t take credit for cheaper prices because the war was on before we came to city hall. But we do think better work has been done by contractors.” “From the standpoint of the property owner it is desirable that the bitter competition between asphalt and concrete contractors continue.

terially. They were low when we entered office .because contractors were cutcing each other’s throats on costs. Modern methods and machinery have enabled contractors to make money despite the low figures,” Moore declared. The improvement in quality of sidewalk and curb concrete is shown by the tests which show jobs today stand a test of from 3,500 to 4,500 pounds pressure to each square inch, while in 1926 the test averaged 2,260 pounds, Moore said. Proper mixing has been responsible for the better quality work, the same specifications and ingredients being used, he asserted. M. G. Johnson, assistant engineer, supervised and instructed contractors in proper methods and time for mixing cement, a uniform product being the result. Contractors themselves are said to be better satisfied. Concrete streets and bases for asphalt tops average about 4,000

BIBLE STILL LEADS WORLD BEST SELLERS 36,000.000 Copies Printed in One Year; War Story Follows. ’ NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—A 470,000foot book shelf, long enough to reach from New York to Philadelphia, would be required to hold all the Bibles published last year, according to an estimate made by the Bible Guild in connection with the annual observance of UniversaV Bible Sunday, Dec. 8.
