' ' e A} THE OMAHA DAILY BHEE, FKRIDAY, MAY 16, 1890 . TRINIDAD Sheet Asphalt PAVEMENT = ,,382.48; B2.08 and 8S2.98—= The attention of those contemplating the paving of their streets and avenues during the present year, is invited to the following exhibit of our bid of May 9, for as- phalt pavement that may be ordered in this city during 1890. These greatly reduced prices put a genuine Trindad Asphalt Pavement within the reach of all. Asphalt is cheap, because it is moderate in its first cost, the company caring for it the first five years free of cost to the property owner or the city; cheap, because the company has a contract with the city to repair and keep in good condition the asphalt pavements for ten additional years, making fifteen years of asssured comfort and luxury without additional cost to the property holder, repairs being paid from the general fund; cheap, because an asphalt pavement is in repair forever, wood or brick means an entire new pavement in a very few years, thus entailing a second paving lien against your property before the first one is more than half discharged. Asphalt is desirable, because it is clean and noiseless, is a luxury to drive upon, a perfectly sanitary pavement and is casily, quickly and perfectly repaired; desirable, because in the near future the city will cease to vote bonds for intersections, at a time when the wood and brick streets will demand repaving, this will leave you with a wrecked and impassable street, as was the case for five and six years in Washington, and Washington'’s experience is to be repeated in this city very soon. Asphalt is the recognized standard pavement of America today,over two hundred and sixty miles of it now in use and growing in popular favor; New York City, Newark, Albany,Schenectady, Milwaukee, Altoona, Dun- kirk, Fort Wayne, Kansas City, Wyandotte and Wichita having adopted it during 1889; Buffalo has one million two hundred thousand yards, and takes an additional half million yards this year wholly on the petition of the property owners. Not a Yard of Genuine Asphalt Pavement laid by the Barber Company has ever been Replaced by other Material While on the other hand over one million yards of wood, Medina sand stone and granite have been taken up and replaced with asphalt by this company. TFollowing is our bid, arranged according to severity of traffic the street will be subject to, you have thirty days in which to petition for choice of material for your street, blank petitions may be had upon application to this office [428 Ramge Block] where diagram of streets may be seen and information cheerfully given.

Continuing, Mr. Mahoney went on to de- tail with the greatest minuteness and pre- cision th ole story of the.discovery of the gre me and all its many features. He went back to the time when old Mr. and Mrs. Jones, the murdered couple, moved onto the farm to keep it for their son-in-law, A. G. Cadwalader, who had rented it of Dr. Piuney. He told of Mrs, ader finding the house empty, and as rents had just stepped out. The stock was gone. How N. J.
