property oWrers are, the mora pressing and

The particular kind OF pavement is Of no sort
Of consequence, provided only that the street
is Kept In good order. But We see no reason
to change the opinions expressed a few days
ego, that If the assessment is suffered to 90
ever, large part Of the advantage to be de-
rived from paving Lake street will be lost for
another year. 1rstead, therefore, Of allowing
virtual embargo for months of the entire
business Of the city with three Of our great
railway linea, 1t is to be hoped that the Alder
men Will unanimously confirm the assessment
On Monday evening, and have done Hith this
Tezatious business. Any further efforts at
patchwork are humbug.
