Excerpt from Street Pavement Laid in the City of Chicago: An Inquiry Into Paving Materials, Methods and Results
The Chicago Bureau of Public Efficiency, during the summer and fall of 1910, carried on an inquiry into the subject of street pavement laid in Chicago under the direction of the Board of Local Improvements. The investigation, conducted by A. J. Hammond, chief engineer of the Bureau, was supplemented by collateral inquiry respecting paving methods, materials, and te sults in other communities, and by conferences with Samuel Whinery of New York, consulting engineer, who co-operated in some of the investigation and reviewed the conclusions expressed in this report. The supplemental investigation included a study of commercial conditions which affect the price and quality of paving materials.
