Thero Is no disputing tbe fact tbat
cement sldewulks are by far the best

tbe stone walks which have been put

comparison of tbe two kinds of walks
now in use in tho city. The walk which
G. W. Prlddy recently put down for
Rufus Cox Is a good specimen of tbe
work. The expense of putting dowq
the cement walk Is, of course, greater oo
the start than a board walk, but it is
