FORCED INCREASE or TRAvEL-A Nuisance
That Perine pavement in progress Of construction
in Broadway between Franklin and White SITS. is
Justly regarded as a most annoying nuisance Two
weeks, at most, suifces for the granite pavement
which has been already laid, while the completion
oftlis in three months and three days, seems TO
be regarded as a miracle Of expedition. The City
authorities should have compelled the builder to
have finished the half he first laid, and kept
tho street open. Every lay froLi six to eight thou
sand vehicles obliged to undergo an aggregate
of somewhere near 1000 miles extra travel to get
around this new geological formation If its dura-
bty shall be in proportion to its present progress,
the first repairs will probably be made in 1850.
