ROUGH TENNIS COURT ESTIMATE FOR S.A.E.

The following estimate was given by Tommy
Constant for a proposéd tennis court surface.

| Total cost-$500.00
Including:
6" rock base with a heavy oak board around
all four. sides of court,
The preseht surface has a mixed clay and fine
screen gravel, with a cinder base below that. The crushed rock

base will be put on top of the present surface.

The contractor stated that the job should last
for 10 years. Of course the court musb ine rolled each year to
tighten the asphalt surface.

Materials
Mulsified asphalt(a combination of cold asphalt,

fine crushed rock) The surface will have the re bite that
a smooth clay court would have.

At the present I do not have the figures for the
amount of ground the surface will cover but it is understood that
the back court will be the same as a regulation cement court.

This type of court is similiar to those used in
Kansas City on several of their courts and the surface is standing
up according to the above specifications.

The material is mixed with an ordinary cement
mixer. It takes approximately 6 days to conpteee the job with a
standard crew of men.
