AVENUE
PAVING
STARTED
Actual construction work of re
surfacing Roanoke Avenue and
making it wider was started by
Tunstall and Johnson, paving con
tractors, of Norfolk, Va., Tuesday
of this week. According to P. H.
McGuire, superintendent in charge
of the work here, it is thought it
will require some sixty-days to
complete the job.
The new Avenue paving will be
thirty-feet wide, in contrast to the
18-foot present slab. It will have
an asphalt surface with macadam
base. All of the old material pos
sible will be salvaged.

Working two six-hour shifts of
some ten to twelve men each, the
paving firm started breaking up
the old surface at the Junction
Tuesday, and at quitting time
Thursday afternoon had worked
past the intersection of Roanoke
Avenue and Twelfth Streets. At
many points on the avenue the
grading will be changed, particul
arly around the 13th Street sec
tion, where the grade will be low
ered approximately two-feet. It is
thought the peak employment of
the contractors will reach approxi
mately 70 or more men before
completion of the job.
A move is on hand in the South
ward business section to have the
paving widened so as to reach the
sidewalk line on either side of the
street. If thi sis done, they will
build curbing and storm sewers in
this section. It was pointed out
that the paving contractors could
do this work while in process of
the work for the state, and it
would be much cheaper than at a
later date.
W. P. Joyner is working on the
proposition uptown, and is sub
mitting a petition to all property
owners on the Avenue. Mr. Joyner
has already secured signatures
representing enough footage, but
a majority of the property owners
will be required to sign. It is
thought this will be easily obtain- ,
able, and at a late hour Thursday,
he was within three property own
ers of his goal.
If this plan goes over, the pav
ing would extend from curb to
curb from a point 50-feet above the
Southern intersection of Eleventh
St. to the Northern side of the
intersection of Ninth Street. Two
thirds of the cost of widening the
street would be paid by the prop
erty owners, while it is planned
that the city would stand the
cost of the remaining one-third.
