Bitulithic Paving Questioned in Tacoma City Trials
Tacoma officials oppose bitulithic paving for streets saying repairs exceed laying asphalt. Three streets were treated with bitulithic macadam four years ago and performance has been poor. Commissioner Owen Woods blasts the material as costly and short lived, with destruction by heavy traffic leaving streets to be repaved within a year. A coal strike threatens Pennsylvania stocks with 6,000,000 tons on reserve.
