CLEVELAND TRACK COSTS—PNEUMATIC RIVETER INSTALLING ACLARK JOINT cavating is one of the largest single cost items, and itconsisted of digging a trench in a dirt road beside abrick pavement. The ties were tamped with cindersand a space 4 ft. wide outside of the rail was filled withcrushed stone and slag. The labor cost in Job No. 25 ishigh because the work was done in the congested busi-ness district where one track was laid in a double-trackstreet. This work also included repaying the devil stripand placing a drain beneath it. Job No. 26 included the removal of a temporary trackand relaying new track over a sewer. In this instancethe devil strip was paved by the city and the trackswere paved by the railway company which was after-wards reimbursed by the city. The track constructionin Job No. 27 differed from the standard in that therails were laid on wooden ties with 7 in. of crushedstone grouted beneath them. The old pavement wasreplaced with redressed Medina block and a tar filler.
