Blacktop (or Curbing Used MONMOUtfl Mayor Allan Waltefs Monday evening that thd experimental blacktop job being carried out at Diffenbaugh' JHarmon Park was one-third completed as of Monday evening. If weather permits, the blacktop and curbing will be completed within the next few days. The job. is being done at the north west corner of North Street and West Grand Avenue. Approximately 400 feet of curbing will be poured around the blacktopped area.

The mayor said if the blacktop curb will stand up as expected, its use will result in a great saving to the city in future street work, as it costs less than 25 per cent of the cost of concrete curbing. It had been planned to conclude the experimtent earlier, but due to the crowded schedule of the street department it was postponed until the present time. If the present good weather continues the project should be finished soon and the mayor said a possible use of the area could be an ice rink this winter and tennis court next summer.
