Description

Unique IDA-00310956SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 22nd March 1886 and 25th March 1886Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionLetter: J G Alberti, 404 Kent St, referring to earlier correspondence states he will do away with asphalt and for his experiment substitute specially treated Portland cement as a covering for the wood blocks to make a hard surface for the road, but cannot give an estimate of cost as materials will be supplied and he requires only a reasonable sum for his labor, with the workmen being paid by the authorities. (Note: City Surveyor. Wood-Paving improvets. I presume Mr Alberti only refers to the grouting between the blocks, as the cement concrete is quite hard enough for its purpose. Any improvement which can be found in practice to render the grouting hard, & enable the joints to be laid more closely together will be worthy of consideration. I suggest that Mr Alberti be given an opportunity of experimenting on 100 yards of word-paved roadway, if he can make arrangements with the Council as to terms: ACM; 25/3/86) LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
