In order to esti mate the probable cost on a lot of a given size, find the number of yards frontage which you have on the street to be paved.

Then multiply by $2.50, and you will have the num-i ber of dollars and cents approximate ly to which the paving bill will come. Then divide by ten installments 'to find what your annual installment will be. The first installment will be payi able within thirty days of the finish ing of the work.
