Excerpt from Pacific Municipalities, Vol. 29: January, 1915
Oakland has had experience with ma cadam bases covering twenty or more years. Most of the heaviest travel sec tions have long since worn out. Others are being gradually replaced. Still others have given fairly good service. Whenever we make a repair of the sur face Or replace the pavement over a trench, we put in concrete base. This temporary expedient is increasing the cost of repairs. But it staves off the cost of reconstruction.
And. Insofar as it is possible to over come that difficulty, it takes care of the settlement or prevents the settle ment which almost always occurs when you repair a macadam pavement.
