METAL FOR THE STREETS.

A SUGGESTION WORTH CONSIDERIN G .

Mr "W. F. Worley has drawn our metal for the renewal or * ho s ' r ?f * c^ the city which it appears to use is wcu Avirth the consideration of the City C Tr C Worl e y suggests that the loan of the County Council's portable stone bridge. The greater portion of the !Uu experimental crushing £Sd lS > made at comparably small C0 As to the suitableness of. the stone for road metal Mr/Worley is of <v lion that the greater portion or it is very ]?ttle inferior to Boulder Ban* stone and nuite equal if not superior tothc best 'from the Brook street oinrrv We wore surprised to see, 535 iho test at Mr Wovfy'^ Kical hammer, how hard the stone is and apparently it is eminently suited for street metalling. „.H o. If the Bupßostion prows practicable the central position should save a great deal of cm-tins, an economy t^«"| effected, and we ar* assured that the Jos ; of procuring the stone would be very much less than in quarrying. 1 1-e matter of disposal of the mullock would require consideration, but 1.0 doubt this would be in demand for jo■clamation purposes if the Council did not see fit to use it at the tip head and thereby improve the appearance of Uio very unsightly view that appears to visitors approaching the city.
