July 12, 1945. North Bend Street Asphalt Pavement Project. This view taken from the intersection of Pitkin St. and Ward St. looking westerly shows the preparation of the crushed stone base on the northerly half of the street before receiving the asphalt penetration. Note the windrows of excavated material along the shoulder of the street back of the curb where it was pushed with the aid of a heavy duty power grader to eliminate hand labor and hauling off the job.
