Topeka and Wichita in Kansas; Kansas City.St. Joseph and St. Louis, Mo.; Lincoln and Beatrice in Ne-braska, and Fort Smith in Arkansas, are among the citieswhich have successfully treated their worn brick pavementswith either sheet asphalt or asphaltic concrete wearing sur-face. Many of the older brick streets are paved with brick inferior in quality to the brick being used today. Under traifie some of these old brick pavements have worn badly and form thickness in wearing surface to be laid. After that, lay a wearing surface of either asphaltic concrete or sheetasphalt, at approximately 2 in. in finished thickness.. Cross Section Showing Methods of Applying 2-ln.

An economic survey of conditions hasrevealed the fact that much of the original investment maybe saved to the property owners by utilizing the worn brickpavements as a base for an asphaltic wearing surface. On account of the fact that it is not necessary to use anexcessive depth for an asphaltic wearing surface, drainageproblems and surface conditions usually are met easily. Thework of laying an asphaltic w-earing surface can be done rap-idly, and on important traffic thoroughfares the work maybe carried out without excluding the traffic from the street, by simply laying the surface on one side of the street andconfining the traffic on the other side.
