Excerpt from Paving the Business Section of Tama, Iowa With Vitrified Brick: A Thesis Presented by Charles W. Collins to the President and Faculty of Armour Institute of Technology for the Degree of Civil EngineerWhen contemplating a new improvement, such as a water supply, sewer, or street paving system, the majority of small towns, not having sufficient work to retain an Engineer the entire year, will call on a Consulting Engineer to draw up plans, specifica tions, and estimate of cost for the proposed im provement, and to supervise the construction of the same. The writer has endeavored to trace the various steps involved in street paving in such a typical town, emphasizing particularly the duties and prob lems encountered by the Engineer. It has been his intention to bring forth many seemingly small de tails, which, nevertheless, are very troublesome and annoying at the time. As the writer was brought in personal contact with the work at Tama, he has taken it as an example of paving any town in Iowa, small differences naturally arising from local prob lems and conditions. Although the engineering prob lems would be almost the same in any other State, the legal steps would be quite different.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
