How They Do Things In Flint

While in Fliut last week City Clerk Mills made a diseovery wbioh is decidedly interesting to the average taspayer as a coinparison between prices paid aud imonut oL work aecoruplished. That city is doiug considerable paving and fixing np of its streets and has iu operatiou a No. 4 stone crushar of tbe same make as the one nsed ia this city but it is larger than this one doiug onethird more than the öne here. Bat the striking tbing abont it is that it it is so arranged that one man does all the work about it, while in tLis city there were 16 men on the payroll whea it was in operation. Thns lesa worg was done in this city for $24 per day than was done in Flint for $2 and $3. In that city the crushed stone is raised ont into raised bins instead of outo the giouud, thns allowing the wagons to be filled withont handling the stone twice. No trips aie lost, for the wagons dnrnp their loads into the ornsher and theu draw off another load of crushed stone. Tbat matter isworth investigatiug. A saving of $125 a week on stone crusbing is considerable of an item.
