PAVING WORK CHECKED
RESUMPTION WAITS ON FINE WEATHER Whilst the copious downpour of yesterday has been most Ireneficial to farmers, gardeners and the tanks of suburban residents, it has proved on effective check to the paving operations in Wellington. Anything in the nature of dampness is inimicial to hotmix asphalt, which should be laid on a hard dry surface of macadam. The sudden drop in temperature caused by the keen-edged southerly gale is also a deterrent factor, particularly on such long hauls as that from Rongotai to the Karori Road, as the mix must be spread and rolled at a certain temperature, which ensures good compression under the rollers. As soon as fine weather comes again a start will be made with the paving of Boulcott Street.
