How can you expect to reform them when you keep them in idleness! Why. 90 par cent o f crime is the result o f idleness. It is as much the duty o f the state to reform its convicts as it is to protect society, ami the way to reform them and make them useful members o f society is to keep them busy, teach them some trade whereby them may make a living when they leave the penitentiary and to show them that someone takes an interest in them.

City Engineer T. M. Hurl hurt be­ lieves he has at last arrived at a solu­ tion o f how tu give property owners durable pavements at a moderate cost. Such a pavement has just been laid on Kearney Street between Fifteenth and Tw enty-fifth atrecta and pro|terty own- era who fought every effort to pave that street on account o f what they deemed the excessive prices asked by the standurd paving companies have expressed themselves aa Iwiing entirely satisfied with the work. The pavement mentioned is the well known bitulilhlc. The Kearney Street pavement ia declared by the city en gi­ neer to lie us good um any ever laid here and it haa been put down at a saving o f nearly 40 per cent when the fact that there was no charge to r e x ­ cavation la considered. The explanation o f the reduced cost is that the old macadam base o f the street hss been used as a foundation , for the hitulithic. Heretofore slan- iilar.l bitulithic has been luid on a base ¡o f crushed rock and in cases where I the street* were covered with old nia- j cadam, the property owner* had to pay for the rumoval o f the macadam and also for the new crushed rock base.
