HOW PROPERTY VALUES COULD BE ENAANCED BY BLINGING TUEM TO GRADE AND PAVING TUEM. o the Editor of The Tribune- Ccaco, June 15.—The subject of street im- provement is one of importance to our citizens at this moment, when the eye of rivalry and Jealousy of the older Eastern and Southern cities is upon us. Their vitizens are daily arriv- ing in our midst, and canuot deny but that, in pomt of architectural beauty, we lead them sll. In fact the world produces no rival to usin fine frontages in business centres, but, they say, your Tiiserable grades and poorly-paved streets are without parallel on this side of the Atlautic. If every property-holder could see himselfand ‘his own Interests fn the same light that the en- tirely disinterested spectator seems to, he would immediately cause his walks and strects to con- form to the architecture already existing. There are hundreds of busincss-nlaces on wiserably paved strects which would be in demand if their surroundings were fn accord; but we have o fachion here of puving one street at a time, snd what is the result?—a street {3 brought to grade and paved often with an Inferior guality of wooden block pavement, while the one adjacent isuwoor three feet below; the new street taking all the travel, and therchy wear- fngr out lone before another ruaning paraliel is improved. Then, azuiv, our streets are nezlect- ed, and not kept in repair, simply because the property-owner, after having paved, 4 WWenl, let the city keep in repair, and repave. The only sure way o remedy the evil is to bring to a comwon grade all “business streets, at least. and pave with 8 pavement the substrueture of which will lie more durable. The great fire of Oct. S and 9, 1571, created a new order of things, municipal and personal, and some of the municipal laws then in foree will not now apply. The citizen whoczi and witl not improve the street in front of his expen- sive and clecant facade stands in s own light when he waits for the ¢ity to do what Le thinks should be doue—repave at the expense of the taxpayers generally; but the fact is, the rule appertaining to the repair of hixbways will ot apply to an aiready tax-burdened eity; the en- terprise of individuals must come to the rescue, and old fogy notious of older clties that have not been devastated by lire are of uo practical use to us. ‘The fact is, our most enterprizing and indus- trious citizens have “gone where the woodbine twineth ™ financially, and the places that knew them stili exist, but they are non est, having fallen futo the juws of that hydri-headed cren- ture of centralizativn—foreirn capital. This last remark is iutended to be a gentle reminder to those having acquired title under powers of sale or otherwise that they are in a degree divesting us enerully, and them- selves personally, of L comfort, comeliness, and busfness facilitics by cuch warrow-minded polici It is o well-known fact that property acquired under foreclosure by toreign capitalists is in a messure cursed, and its enhanced valustion Leld in check, by the unwise and uninterested policies of the new proprictorship. The only cure for this state of affairs must come throush carefuf Jegislation, that which ghall be pro bono pubiico, and in thy interest of no person or ring. - Who of our City Fathers has the perseverance and inde- pendence to battle fearlessly for the accom- plizhment of thedesired object—a uniform grade and more lasting and durable pavements, which shall share and share aifke the tratlic now so uneveuly distributed ¢ My attention is just called to an interview of our merchants as to the feasibility of bLold- ing the World's Fuir in our city, and T am glad to sce that go clear-headed and successful a business man as Marshall Field recognizes the importance of good pavements. To use his own words, “Better et our city up out of the mud first.” and Edson Keith; Henry W. King, and others think it wouid be the height of folly to attempt such 8 schieme, and ou 8o extensive a scale as would be required for this city, with her streets io their preseut condition. Her merchants and Bourd of Trade never do things by half, aud are now alive to the situ- ation, and notwithstanding oue-kalf of usare baukrupt, the vitality of the vaupers still ex- ists. The remark made by Ike Cook, years agv. hotds good: “Truth squashed to’ carth will rise again, aud you cau’t stop uer, by G—d.” A united effortto bring to_grade and pave ‘with the most durable, clean, healthy, and eco- nomical pavement for the money, is Lhe vropo- sition, and, if it can be done_invo other way, letour merchunts get together and vote the issue of a series of construction bonds to be taken by those who have money Iving idle in bank at a rate of interest not to ex- ceed the bonded indebtedness of the Govern- ment, guaranteed by the city. This scheme can work no harm to the community at laree, and will furnish employment tv a portion of those now idle. What we wantin the present agi- tated condition of the country is internal im- provements to disseminate centralized capital. A few of our merchents and Board of Trade uen have grown quite wealthy durmi; the last six to eizht years, and could take the bonded indebtedness of their fellow-citizens and not feel it. (All that is wanted is some repre- sentative man to head such 2 movement, when we should soun sce our strects brought to grade, the enhanced valuation of property fol- low, aud the World’s Fair be o mere bugatelle in- side of the next threc years. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT. says, QUL PAVEMENTS. To the Editor or The Tridune. Caicaco, June 14.—The communication from “ Michizan Aveuue ™ in last Sunday's TRIBUNE deserves comment. No onc can avy longer doubt that our ordinary wood pavement is not asuccess. When new, it is everything tbat could be desired, but alas!it grows old with fearful rapidity, and after two to three years' hard wear its beuuty has departed forever. Thenceforth the only question is how long it can be endured without remewal. “Michigan Avenuce™ contends that our proper course is to follow the example of Paris. and use the con- crete and asphaltum pavement. This is no néw proposition, but it seems to me on the whole not a wiscone. There arc 2 good wany objec- tions to such a pavement. It isvery costly. 1ln cold weather it becomes very bard, and horscs slip as on 8 smooth iron surface. In hot weather it becomes soft, and heavy wagons cut into it. If any onc sbhould say these objections are not well taken, let him observe for himself on the square section of asphalt pavement ag the juoction of Waskington and Dearborn strects, or on the experimental strip laid on Grand Boulevard. i Then it is too permanent. There i3 no getting beoeath it _except by tunneling. Practieally in a new city like this it is an insuperable obje tion. We must be able to get at our water and gas pipes when necessary. Before considerm auy new pavement, let us counsider where our present svstem is defective. The weakest voint in the common bleck pavement 1 conceive to be the foundation. The first defeet we potiee is the unevenness of the surface. A series of blocks sink, forming a hollow. The example is contagious. Down they o in every direction, until our elegant driveway is as rough asa frontier * corduroy.” ‘There's pothing strange about this state of thines. It is just what might bave been ex- pected when blycks are Jaid on the nncovered sand that constitutes the roadbed, which has not even heen rolled to give it firmness, The addition of floor buurds is undoubtedly an ad- vantage, but ouly a temporary one, as they too give way under the heavy p ure to which they arc constantly subject, 10 say nothiug of the results of curting cut here aud theretogive access to the pipes below. ‘The next chiel defect in onr pavement s the ranid wearing out of the blocks themselves,— the joint result of friction and decay. Let us take the bistory of 2 single block laid in & busi mess street. from natural and artitical causes it is kept moist much of the time. The exposed fibres, softencd by svaking, are easily mnashed down by the tirst heavy wheel that passes. The process isspeedily repeated. It is not diffienlt 10 caleulate just how long that block can statd that sort of thing. When the street is swept at ::flih!' n‘“l ‘obsmi\'er can ren‘t'lil);, discover that the ebris isflargely composediof broken and partiall; decayed woud\?fibm.p H % Now, it we can remedy these defeets,—first place our' blacks on a sitbstantial foundation, and then proteet them from too speedy- de- etruction by the grindiog of the wheels upon them,—we “shall bave o really good pave- ment. 3 1i *Michizan Avenue” were to advertise for proposals Ter putting his high-toned street into 8 coudition worthy of it, 1 would submit speci- fications somewhat as follows: First—Exeavate the rosdway about twelre iuches (on the supposition that it is now at the ngsm gr:}xdoji Second—Having leveled off the bed and fl;fcl; it the proper arch, pass over it o five-ton Third—Soread on this firm bed sbout six incaes of broken ston o — ‘“g,’“’},“‘“b c,—ordinary Macadam,: _Fourlh—3set on this foundation twelve-inch pine blocks, not Iess than four inches thick, after they hate been thoroughly permeated with creosote the Week ending Saturday, June 155 City sales, &5; consideration, 8157,840; south of cilyy l:;]iet;: oil (not coal-tar).

PAVING MICHIOAN AVENUE. .’ To the Editor of Ths Tribune. Cn1cAgo, June 15.—In last Sunday’s issue of Tas TRIBUNE there was & communleation ad- vising the fmprovement of Michigan avenue with about ouc foot of broken stone covered with asphalt pavement, at a cost ol about $10 a foot front, including the curbing,—an expense that the property-owners on this street would not like to incur at this time. Mr. Georze M. Pullman says that the Jast time be was in Lon- don and Parls both of those cities were laying large quantitics of wood-block pavement, which promised to bea very importaut improvement Lo their streets. The property-owners on Michi- wran avenue can, if they desire, greatly improve that #treet at a comparatively fmall cxpense by paving a strip cighteen feet Wwide in the middle of the street with the kind of puvement recentl 12id on Washington street, near State, which, believe, is composed of wood and cement or asphalt. "This vavement, Iam _told, can be laid the width named for about SL.50 per front foot, makiug 2 total cost for paving in front of 2 twenty-four-foot lot about $36,—just twice the amount I paid last year for sprinkliog in front of my lot of same width.

WIHICH 1S RIGHT, THE SUPREME COURT OR TNH DERICRSONTAN SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHERS? To the Editor of The Tribune. Crircaco, Juue 15.—It is an undisvuted fact that assessments throughout the State range from one-tenth to one-third of the full value of property as valued by the owners for the pur- pose of sale. The vatuation in Bureau Couuty, 1w the case herenfter quoted, was from onc-fifth to one-third. The State Board of Equalization, speaking ofliciully, have decided it not to exceed 40 per cent of the actual value. Andin full view of these undisputed facts, the new school of philumag hers propose 1o ussess the South Town at 100 cents on the dollar. Read the foliowing extracts from an opinion of the Supreme Court and judge which is right, to-wit: Docs the power exist angwhere to destroy the cardinal principle_of uniformity of taxation so forcibly and prominently nsisted upon by the Constitution? his is & question atfecting not only railroad corporations, but every property- owner and taxpuyerin the State. lrsccms to us there is sometlung <o monstrous in the proposition as to be indefensible by fair argnment.

J. 4. Krepzie, TEMPERATE TUSCOLA. ‘What the Blue Ribbon Has Done for a Whisky Town, Spectal Correspondence of The Tribuine. Toscoa, 11, June 11.—Perbaps in no town in the United States of the samne population has the work of the Blue-Rivbon apostles been so expeditiously and thoroughly done as in this. Two years ago the church people made a rully at the polls and votd down lcense, but uever reformed a druukard or limited the sale of whisks. The only effect of that spurt of tem- perance men was to cut off & very handsome revenue which the city derived from ki~ cense. The saloops were closed, but the gruzzlers only shifted their roosting-places to theback rooms of drug-stores and confectloneries, and the traflic went on withoutlet or hindrance, It went on to a damnable extent, for, when saloons were running, the proprietors were forced 1o keep a tolerable fair article of whisky; but wheu the steady drinker bad to sneak in a buck-door with a bialf-dollar and a bottle in his pucket hie was compelled to take just what he could put. And that was the vilest rot-gut ever manufactured. A prominent wholesale liguor- dealer in Decatur told me he sold $1,500 worth of whisky, ut S1.40 a galion, to one Tuscola drug-store Jast year, and I know' that that druggist retailed every drop of it at $5.50 and S6 cash per gallon. Knowing he was violating the law and taking desperate chances, he gave no _man credit. but demunded cash every time. For nearly a year before the Blue- Ribbon eampaizy began there were four or five such “ dives’ as the oue I have deseribed, and the gallons of vile stufl sold at these place: will never be known. In the town and country round about there were two or threc hundred Tewular drinkers, with a yearning capacity of a pint a day. Think of thic shattered nerves and disordercd stomachs of this number of victims of fusll ofl! Heretofore the Grand Jury has re- fused to take coznizance of whisky violators, Liecause the city had an ordinance for their sup- ression. When public sentiment, sthnu- ated by the Blue Ribbon apostles, set hard awainst the whisky men, the City Prosecutor had two of them arrested and fined heavily. One man gave up cverything he had, went to jail awhile, and then joined the Bluce-Ribbon club. The other, being fined $200 and costs, touk leg-bail after converting every- thing be could into cash. The citizens are glad to get rid of bim that way, and will forgive him thedebt if he will never come back. There are still two or three places where rot-gut is gold on the sly, but under Judge Davis’ in- structions to the Grand Jury, now in seseion, the e -y indictments wifl be returned and these proprietors will have to walk the plank. ‘The prosccution 1s being pressed by a com- mittee of ladies, backed by the bust citizens of Tuscola, and will be thorough and crushing. There is to-day not a_dozen drinking men in “Tuscola, thanks to the Murphy movement. Duwxiw, ———— SHE TEMPTED ME. She tempted me!
