Excerpt from Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual Convention of the American Society of Municipal Improvements: Held at Detroit, Mich;, Oct; 1, 2, 3 and 4, 1907 The quantity of asphalt paving done in the past year is slightly less than that of the previous year. It is to be hoped that the great amount of poor work which will naturally result from the use of inferior materials and cheap workmanship will not injure the reputation of this class of paving. There has been a slight increase this year in the yardage of bitulithic paving laid over that of last year. This pavement is being laid with increased care, resulting from the experience that has been gained in the past. One noticeable change is that these pavements are being laid richer in bitumen than formerly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
