WHAT DOES SRREET

It should be borne in mind that the
question the writer is discussing is not
as to whether street pavement is a
desirable thing; all residents of Al
bany must agree as to that. Nor is it
the question as to whether we should
pave this season. We should pave as
we have done the last three seasons.
The question on which some of us
seem to bold a different view is as to
how much we should pave this season.
Pavement is a convenience, not a ne
cessity. It is safe to say that not ten
per cent of the people that will be
called upon to pay for pavement have
the ready cash on hand or in the
banks to meet these payments. They
must take the money from some in
vestment, or must borrow it or must
take advantage of the Bancroft Act.
In either case a readjustment of their
business affairs will be necessary.

ly $2600.00. This amount of money is
spent with no returns, except the ad
ded satisfaction one gets from living
on a paved street. In case we pave
this year fifty-live running blocks (and
the writer understands more than this
is contemplated), it means that we will
tie up over $143,000.00, which must be
paid either in cash or in interest bear

money put into street pavement in one
season, of necessity, must affect busi
