Professor 3. Pos, School of Ell gineerth:.1:, I,Tniversity of Guelph, outlines some of the main points to Con- sider. First, • consider the cost, espec- ially if the area to he. covered is large, Compare the cost of asphalt and concrete, taking the trucking distance from the plant into con_ sid eration. Drainage is most important. Crushed stone under the paved surface will provide proper under, drainage so water will not collect beneath the surface and cause frost boils or heaves in the winter. "A good subbase is essentiaV says Professor Pos. "The contractor shOuld excavate HURON DEA STOCK REMOVAL Clinton Cue to the deorease in meat prictee we ere unable to pay for any farm stock.

On top of this base, a well-coin_ patted asphalt to a depth of 2,i/2 •,to 3 . inches is required." Another imporant point to con_ eider is the use of a total-kill herbicide to discourage „any liege_ tation growth beneath the paved surface. Vegetation can some- times lodge in the control cracks Of concrete pavement, but in as_ phalt, dandelions, fungus, or other plants ten grow up right through the surface, soiling the, appearance. Concrete should be cast in sections so that cracking will take place 21-ne controlled joints. Place rin expansion joint every 1.5 to 20 feet.
