council last night passed ordinances
ordering the construction of about 22
blocks of bltulithlc pavement. The
work will commence Immediately and
be finished promptly.' 5 ' ' ' '
A special committee appointed by
the council baa Just returned from a
trip'of Inspection to determine the
merits of various pavement used, and
especially that of concrete the latter
being claimed by some of our citizens
to be cheaper than bltulithlc. In view
of the committee's adverse finding?
concerning concrete the council pro

The supporters of concrete are now
thoroughly satisfied , that . concrete
pavement, even though cheap, is not
a good investment. ;
