Asphalt Heater Could Cut City Paving Costs
Superintendent Sim Hart presented to the finance committee a plan to resurface streets using a Belgian block paving compatible asphalt heater from a Kansas City firm. The device would melt and reuse worn asphalt, claiming 2 to 75 cents per square yard resurfacing versus over $2 for new paving. A two year lease would cost the city $1800, with a 5 cent royalty per square yard thereafter, and testing on Whit Hall Street is planned before wider use on Peach Tree and Washington Streets.
