Bennett Talks Interest ingly to a Times Reporter On Important Topic. SOME METHODS SUGGESTED Experiences of Other Places With Various Paving1 Sys tems Is Related. The question of the Improvement of the streets of Marshileld has be come a serious one and The Times is anxious to get the opinion of those who have any information on the subject. A reporter of The Tlme3 interviewed J. W.' Bennett and ho Bald, "certainly tho streets should be Improved, wo cannot do business In a mud puddle." " "An honest effort has been made by tlio town authorities to effect these improvements. Red clay, or fire clay as It is called, filled the bill until the traffic became as heavy as it is, then it was found that some thing more substantial was needed; many thought Coos River blue stone would do but the experience which has been had with it this winter on Front Btreet will convince anybody that neither the fire clay or tho blue rock Is as good as 2x12 fir plank whlch wo had previously. Tho 2x12 or 3x12 plank were also good In their day and lasted from eight to twelve years, but with tho present heavy trucking and traffic they will probably bo a source of continual ex pense and It is doubtful if they will last for more than two or three years, oven though tho traffic should not increase. "Mr. Hanitch, of tho Coos Bay Lumber & Coal company, who Hvps at Superior, V.'iscoi :in, told aw List -week that from 'no oMtrienco they hud In their town wo could be satis fied by putting in four inches of sand as base, on top of a plank 1x12 and on top of that eight inch blocks or logs cut from a tree without any trlmmiug and fill the vacancies with gravel. This he said made a good street in his town nnd lasted already fifteen years. Tho moisture, ho said preserved tho plank and tho blocks stood tho heavy travel and repairs wero easily done by lifting tho eight inch block or log and filling in what may be needed underneath to keep tho surface even. I told this to Mr. Hugh McLaln, who has had consid erable experience In these matters nnd ho said ho would not put in any unless there was four inches of con crete Instead of sand and ono Inch of sand on top of the concreto to form a cushion, ho said then we would havo a good street. "Mr. Geo. W. Loggie, of Belllng ham, Washington, who has been in towns in Washington which havo been building up for tho last sixteen years, said tho four inch concrete bnso was absolutely necessary then ono Inch of sand as a cushion but snld tho blocks would have to bo trimmed and treated with creosote or carbollnlum nnd thut then thoy would last all tho way from elghtoen to twenty yours with somo small re pairs nt tho ond of tou or twolvo .yenrs. "S'jmo ono suggested that if the McLaln plan was adopted, a covering ipf asphalt on top of tho blocks would presei'vo tlUilH. Ml'. TOgglG 8ld. tUft .WHH u mteUiKu us. It lmd boon tried lu liis town . Ho said tho asphalt on tho surfaco prevonted the nlr from circulating furthor down nnd tho blocks would become dry rotted nnd would break off whon used four or fivo years. Mr. McLaln said ho would givo mo an estimate as to tho probablo cost of such a street and I would Buggest that you get tho ap proximate cost from him. "Somo tlmo ago somo of us hero In town Inquired regarding bltum Innted streetB and tho reply wns that n bltumlnnto plant could not bo ob tained unless thoro wns Bixty thous and dollars In contrnctB for street work In Bight nnd wo did not look any further into it on that account as" I do not believe wo can get thnt amount of contracts at tho present tlma'nlthough from tho way it looks now thero might bo a possibility of so doing In tho uenr future" Tho show on Tuesday, Fobru nry 11th, Tho Pavllla Comedy Coi Is supported by actors of consum mate versatility and charm and th aggregation 1b a guaranteed success bud a scream from start to finish, THE DAILY COOS ur uiii ur IMIMIIILLU THE ELE OFFICIALS List of Judges nnd Clerks Appointed For the Next Two Years by County Court.

Had this occurred there would havo been a scarcity of many staples and other commodities for which Coos Bay de ponds on the San Francisco markets. The Homer, however, will bring up a goodly shipment of market supplies. The green peas which wero so eager ly sought Inst week havo lost some of their prestige. This may bo partly at tributed to the fact that the price is unusually high, caused by the scarcity of this delectable vegetable. E. W. Fahy, J. A. Hamblock; C. A. Goodman, Warren Bullard, J, L.

If there Is nny feature of your llfo or business which has never been properly ex ploIU'd in the advertising columns of tho newspapers tho opportunity is open to you to profit by Franklin's suggestion. Many of tho rich men of today were tho pioneer advertisers in their respective fields not so ninny years ago, turning tlio virgin 6oil with tho plow of publlolty whilo their sluggish competitors restfully clung to tho nntiquntcd sales methods of nnothor generation.
