Ibwould bo well fo inquire what tho offeot has boon, and will bo, on the | woodon-pavod stroets of. Chicago. 1t 1a a woll- ostablished fact that wood laste just in propor- tion to tho number of times {t gots wet and dry, ond is oxposed to tho sun ani kopé ontirely undor wator or kept dry will Inst for ages. 'bis belng the cass, it follows that a woodon-paved stroet, if it is mndo wot and dried soveral times a day l.’hrongh the long warm soa~ gon, must rot in‘ono-half tho time it would if loft dry., ‘Thers con bs no good reason for aprinkling wooden atreots, oxcopt to provent the dust. Now, the question is, whether it would not be oqually as cheap for overy perdon to #woep tho straot fronting thelr promises ovory evening or morning 08 to pay for wetting half o doren times overy dsy. But that is not the worst objection to wetting woodon-paved stroots, Theroarc a_groat many of tho wooden-paved streots in Olioago that have nlrnd{ oommoncod decaylng. A question sritos whother tho rapid docomposition of so large n body of timber, hmufiht on by being wot and driod so often through tho long hat soason, will not metorintly impair the boalth of the citizons. ot bolng & physician or chemist, I am not able to prosont to ¢tho ngnhliu why and how the docaying of large bodies of flmber affects tho health, AllI know is from experi- ence, being an errly sottler in Wostorn Michigan at a timo when tho dams wore constructed across stronms for mill purposes, tlowing back, cover- mfimgs quantitios of wood, both standing sud fallen, produced more nicknoss than all “othor causes, X havo recontly visited those samo mill- dama, Tho troos and timber are now all decayed: and gono, and it is now ag bealthy around thoso mifldoms 24 in any ather placa -{u tho county. Tho continual wetting of our wood-paved streoty, it sppoars to me, will eventually bave the samo effect on the health of tho citizons that the mill- dams had in Michigan while the timbor in them was deunylnfl. Lot us hear from nomo one battor posted on this subject ; itis certainly worth in- Yostigating. AL, Ou10Aao, May 29, 1874, ——— CRIMINAL, THE CRIMINAL COURT.
