This should include strewing sharp sandwhen the pavement is slippery, as on Fifth avenue andon all wood-block and asphalt pavements abroad. The average cost of a guarantee in Buffalo is put byF. V. E. Bardol, M. Am. Soc. C. E. (see page 56), atthree cents per square yard for the first five years andfifteen cents for the second five years or eighteen centsfor ten years. The probable cost of a guarantee for the third fiveyears would in some cases equal the cost of an entirerenewal of the surface. 121 CITY ROADS AND 122 SHEET-ASrUALT PAVEMENT. f^^
