A short time ago the city coun cil caused John Thornton to dis continue laying cement walk in this city.' Thornton had put down some very bad walk,' and though property owners accepted it, and paid him for it, the council re fused to grant him further per mit. This was exactly right and proper, but some people took up the cudgel for Thornton and in sisted he be permitted to build walk for them. The council very properly balked. To get around the situation, others took con tracts and then employed Mr. Thornton to do the work. Under this arrangement Thornton ' has built walks that are entirely sat isfactory to property owners and the city council. . Now comes Mr. Thornton and asks for another permit He in sists that he has built good walks, and that former failures were due to poor materials and other difficulties not within his control. The council has the matter under advisement. The G.-T. believes Mr. Thorn ton should be given another trial- Doubtless he has learned his les son, and this instance should have a salutary affect on other contractors for cement work. Since it is demonstrated that Mr. .Thornton can build a good walk and will enter into a compact with the city to do so, well may he be given another trial. No injustice should be done any man, and treatment .thus far has not been an injustice, but a continued denial of a permit might , give rise to doubt. " ! Corvallis is entitled to first-, class cement walk no other kind should be accepted. . Even though property owners are ready to accept the inferior article, thie city officials should refuse to re ceive it, and should hold the con tractor responsible. Careless con tractors should be made to under stand that poor service will not be tolerated and the public should stand strongly behind the council in its endeavor to protect them.. The council has no inter est in the' contractors and does not care which concern does the work as long as it is done prop erly. The people hold the coun cil responsible and that body must hold the contractors to strict ac- c iuntability Mr. Thornton has rightly been used as an example. Any other violation of confidence, on his part or that of any other" contractor, should be met with an everlasting refusal of a permit to continue cement work in Cor vallis. . . , WHY NOT? Now that much of the wooden walk about the school grounds on Madison street is torn. up, why not take-up all of the walk there, use it for approaches to the North School in Job's addi tion, and build a cement walk about the buildings down in the city? These cement walks will have to be built very shortly, if the Board of Education expects to keep up with the procession, so why not hurry this improve ment a little and serve a good purpose elsewhere, by removing the torn-up walk to the place in dicated. The city should always set an example to property-holders, and the Board of Education should never' be slower than school patrons in making im provements. The G.-T.- believes the people will agree that all the wooden walk about the shool buildings on Madison should be replaced with cement, and that the wood en walk will serve a splendid purpose if taken to the vicinity of the North building, It has also been suggested that Corvallis vacate Seventh street through the school grounds, and pave a cement walk ' through there. This would offer possibilities of beautification and would not discommode anyone seriously. There , should be no street between the city's two largest school buildings. A cement walk through there, with well-kept parking on both sides as far back as the row of trees on either side, kept up by the children, would prove a wonder ful inspiration to them, and at the same time be a very sightly improvement.
