Concrete paving saves county from costly road plan
The Chronicle reported a patent representative’s claim that concrete paving could cost ninety to ninety five cents per square yard, contrasting with the county board’s more expensive crushed rock and asphalt plan. After the editorial, a concrete contract was awarded at 1.04 dollars per square yard, nine cents above the Chronicle's estimate and fifty six cents below the county’s crushed rock plan, reportedly saving taxpayers money. J B Leonard of Chehalis, a state representative candidate, was in Centralia reviewing local affairs.
