Part Of Broad
Street Repaved
The Second Time
Many local residents were
quite amazed this week when a
section of newly paved South
Broad Street was torn up.
The entire layer of macadam
was removed for a width of one
lane for. 700 feet between Kep-ner’s
Real Estate and 2nd Ave.
At Tuesday night’s meeting of
Borough;Council Borough Man­ager
George D. Steedle reported
hat the state inspector told him
chat the macadam originally
used was a new trial type. He
said this had caused, a reaction
with the other type, blistered
and was too slick. Therefore, it
had to be replaced!
There 'was, no explanation as
to why a trial type-cf macadam
was u'|ed on _a; . maim highway,
nor was the .borough notified
that it was to be used, Steedle
reported. •
The state inspector told Stee­dle
McMinti, - the ¿paving contract
tor, would, be paid for the . re­surfacing.
