Photographer: McAllister, L. L. (Louis L.), 1877-1963.
Description: Photo dated Sept. 18, 1942. Original caption reads: Briggs St. Pavement Improvements Between Flynn Ave. and Morse Place. This view shows the completed pavement looking southerly on Briggs St. from Flynn Ave. This street was excavated with a power shovel, a 6 inch sand cushion was spread over the clay sub-base and an 8 inch Telford stone base was laid on the sand cushion. A standard 3 inch asphalt penetration macadam was constructed on the Telford base 27 feet in width leaving room for an integral curb and gutter on each side for future construction. The binder used for this job was 61-70 penetration asphalt cut-back with 5 percent No. 2 fuel oil.
