Decorative brick to be used for block
BLYTH - The "feature block" of Blyth
will be highlighted with decorative brick
council decided during a special meeting on
May 21.
The decision was made after estimates
were received on decorative brick and the
regular cement sidewalks.
To place 2,187 square feet of decorative
brick along the west side of Queen Street,
from Memorial Hall to Drummond Street
will cost approximately $6,571. This figure
includes labor and fill but does not include
the removal of the existing sidewalk.
To place the same length of cement
sidewalk is estimated to cost $4,275, which
includes the forming, labor and removal of
the existing sidewalk. However, the fill is
• extra.
It was also decided that decorative brick
will be laid in front of George Radford Con-
struction Ltd. with the nmmnanv navina 50
per cent of the $2,025 cost. If the regular ce-
ment sidewalk was placed in front of Rad-
ford Construction, the cost would be $1,350.
One bench will also be placed in front of
George Radford Construction, at the corner
of Queen and King Streets, for bus
passengers. Radford Construction has of-
fered to supply the paint for the bench as
they would like it to blend in with the
building.
