First of all I find no pavement should be considered without a suh- stantial and durable foundation. The best under all circumstances isa hy- draulic coucrete, Chesp Wwooden pavements laid upon sand or surface soil soon, decay and eink uneveuly, forming bad ruts, Therefore in con- sidering the relative merit of pave- ments I would compare their cost when laid upon a concrete foundation, In point of durability ‘GRANITE ranks the higheet, but in this country it would ¢ 85 from 40 to 50 per cent more. The objectivnable featureto it is the ncise resulting from treffic upon it. The more recent granite pave- ments are laid with arphaltic cement in the joiuts, which adds some to their elasticity and imperviousness to mols- ture, Tne high cost aside from the noisy naturs of the pavemant would preciude the uso of granite blocks in Omaha in any but Tenth streot. Other pavements worthy of notice are asphalt sheet, celar block, macadam and sand ov limestone block, The accumulating taxes, besides these im- provements in the city, will add such au jmpetus to private enterprise that taxable property will very materially mercace, and this at the very time her cities sre passing through a finau- cial crisia, | How about the SEWERAGE WORK!
