Excerpt from A Report to the Street Paving Committee of the Commercial Club: On the Street Pavbing Problem of Chicago

The Commercial Club of Chicago, feeling that the public interests require a broader study and knowledge of the important problem of Street Paving and Maintenance in this city, appointed the undersigned committee on street im provement and authorized Mr. John W. Alvord, Consulting Engineer, to make an investigation and to report the facts and his conclusions.

Mr. Alvord's report, which we now publish, is not only very able, thorough, and conclusive, but has been written within a compass which makes what is really a treatise an easily readable pamphlet. It is well fitted, therefore, to dis seminate in the community correct knowledge of the street question, and to incite intelligent interest in its practical solution.

The expenditure for paving has been, is now, and will be more and more, extremely large; and it is the Wish of the Commercial Club to aid as it can to secure in return for this heavy outlay, really good streets, well maintained.

Mr. Alvord's suggestions as to a fund for maintenance is supplemented by the professional opinion of John S. Miller Esq., touching the best method, under present or contemplated laws, to secure such a fund.
We commend both Mr. Alvord's report and Mr. Miller's opinion.
