Show moreJuly 26, 1945. Howard Street Pavement and Sidewalk Project. This view was taken at the intersection of Pine Street looking easterly shows the excavation being made to receive the sand cushion and telford stone base. Note the condition of the old curb and gutter and sidewalk on the northerly side of the street, and the undertile drain being laid in the center of the street near the power shovel. Undertile drainage was also laid on both sides of the street back of the curb to provide proper drainage. The sub-base was soft blue clay and very unstable and full of moisture. It was necessary to stabilize this sub-base by mixing a layer of sand with the clay and treating with asphalt emulsion before the sand cushion and Telford Base could be placed as trucks could not pass over the base with a load of material without getting stuck.

Show moreFebruary 11, 1946 Institute Road - Road Excavation and Street Widening Project This view was taken from a point on Institute Road near the gate leading to Bishop Hopkins Hall looking easterly toward North Ave. The rock excavation to be removed can be seen in the south portion of the highway. Note the rock also on the north side of the road which should be removed in order to develop the street for its full width. An appropriation of $2500.00 was made by the Board of Aldermen to pay for the cost of removing the rock excavation. The appropriation was made to the Park Department and the work is to be done by the Street Department. This appropriation covers only the estimated cost of rock excavation and depositing this extra rock for fill on the shoulder of the road where the street is to be widened by filling. An appropriation will have to be made later if this work is to be done.
