E. A. THOMPSON.
We use no dry kiln.
To the Citizens of Aibanv: It has
occurred to the writer tlut s.o many of
those supposed petitions have been
presented to the city council for the
pavement of streets that we hardly
know just where we stand. Might it
not be well for us, as a city, to enquire
as to how we are going to pay for all
these improvements?
It would be nice to have all the
streets of our city paved, if we could
see our way clear to pay for this pave
ment without laying too heavy a bur
den upon the individual citizens or
without straining the credit of our
city. Some one has got to pay for
these improvements. When the peo
ple are saving to meet their annual
street assessments, business condi
tions of a necessity must become
wore o rless stagnant. Say, we pave,
Uis year, the intervening streets be
tween Washington and Lyon streets,
and Fifth street clear through and
possibly one other street, would not
that J)e ample? I know that we arc
all interetsed in our city and none of
us would willingly do anything that
would work a hardship on our people
or that would cause business stagna
tion. Albany so far has been pretty
sane and has not burdened itself with
a heavy debt when there was only a
comparatively small population to
bear the obligation. We will want
to do some paving in the years to
come, and we do not want to do it all
in two years. We should pave and
make improvements commensurate
with our strength as a city. For a city
to ne miraeneu witn a debt so that the
property owners are kept struggling
to meet the annual itnerest payments,
is hot an enviable position to be in,
and it does not help the city's credit,
neither does it help business or at
tract newcomers.
The writer docs not want to put
himself forward as a kicker, neither
is he going to argue the case with any
one holding an opposite opinion, nor
is he going to make any prediction of
wnat is going to be our condition if
we do all the paving this season that
has been outlined, although he has a
presentiment of what is in store.
"Moderation is the part of wisdom."

SAM HILL ON '
GOOD ROADS.
Sam Hill, the good roads man, spoke
last night at the armory to a good sized
audience. Gov. West was expected
with him, but the last moment learned
that he could not make it.
He was introduced by Judge Duncan.
He Baia Albany did not look like the
same place after two and one halt
years since his last visit here. Coming
into the city in his auto he was pleased
to observe a street named after him.
But the whole world has been changing
and the U. S. is particularly a different
country.
The most imoortant question before
the people is the establishment of con
ditions so people will go back to the
farm. In 1S70 49 per cent were living
by farming, in 1900 29 per cent, anil
now about 11 per ctnt. This can't keep
on. But how get them back, by good
roads, telephone systems, the rural de
livery, good service, better schools and
accessibility to markets.
In this country it costs about 80c a
tun a mile to movo the products ot the
farm, in Europe only 10 cents, while
our railroads move freight for-,1 of one
cent a mile.
Mr. Hill then showed a largo number
of beautiful nictures showine all kinds
of roads all over the world, on the hills
and in the valleys, good and bad ones.
He complimented Gov. West, and
scored Gov. Hayes of Wash., doesn't
want to live in tne same state.
Mr. Hill is a largo, fine looking man,
Bonof J. J., is a millionaire himself, has
residences in Washington, N. Y., Mass.,
Seattle and otner places, Dut lives on a
larm near fontanel, sometimes.
He has made thirtv-seven trips to
Europe, and knew Capt. Smith of the
Titanic well, a fine man. In January
he returned from his last Europeon
visit.
