USE OF NEWSPRINT IS SOARING IN 11. S.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. Consnmptlon of newsprint paper In the United States daring the last three months . reached a record-breaking point along with prices, the FederaJ, Trade Commission reported In a statement issued today. The average cost of newsprint at mills at the beginning of December was $3.90 a hundred, the commission reported, as against $3.75 a year ago. In 1916 the price was $1.88, the lowest In KeTeral years. High prices failed to cut down the consumption, . however, and the com

mission estimated that in 1919, 14 per

cent more newsprint was used than in -.1918. ..: v.-. ,.; , . During the fourth quarter of 1919 particularly, newsprint consumption was running up, and the commission

said that the increase then over the similar period In 1918 had been be

tween 25 and 30 per cent. December figures have not yet been tabulated. In November, 1919, the 727 publishers reporting to the commission used 161,602 tons of newsprint, compared with 123,874 tons in November, 1918.

. The City Engineer

REPAIR OF PAVEMENTS The control of openings in street pavements in Richmond is effected by a system of permits, deposits and refunds authorized by the city council. The work of backfilling and repaving is taken -over by the City and' put under the control of the City Engineer, who does the work by force account, with city employes. It is necessary for any person, firm or corporation desiring to make any excavation in any paved Btreet first to make application to the city engineer, giving the location, purpose and approximate dimensions of the excavation. This application is made in duplicate, one copy being given to the applicant and the other being filed. After the application haa been made a certificate is filled out, stating the engineer's , approximate . estimate for backfilling and relaying the pavement. To this 12 per cent is added to cover tool expense and maintenance. The applicant pays the controller the amount stated on the. certificate and is then entitled to receive the permit The applicant may now make such excavation and lay such service pipes as are indicated on the application, but must make no backfllL After the pipes have been laid or repaired the city engineer Is notified by the applicant and the city does the remainder of the work with skilled work, men especially selected for the purpose. They make a thorough inspection of the pipes before covering them. Accurate costs are kept on a cost

sheet. It is a triplicate of the application form, the name of the applicant and the location of the excavation being a carbon copy.

The total cost or all the wore incidental to backfilling and replacing the nnrfar. nhiA 12 T)r cpnt In entered

on the certificate. The difference be

tween this amount and the original deposit is the "refund" to the applicant. s System Successful. This system has been in effect since April, 1918, during which time it has proved very successful. Prior to the inauguration of the system, no street was free cf chuck holes and sunken trenches. Some : of these sunken trenches dated back as far as one could remember. At the present time there is hardly a sunken ditch to be found in any street in the city.

The majority of openings made are in macadam streets. These are re

paired by a special repair gang, con

'sisting of the driver of the repair

wagon and two assistants. In the wagon is carried a quantity of crushed stone and sand, torether with the

necessary tools. Behind the wagon

a tar heating kettle is hauled, which has a capacity of about one and onehalf barrels. Following is some cost data on repairing trenches with tarvia. . These data include the making of the patch only, by the above mentlonad repair
