-L-'u-li. .dI bot. 'tL PORTLAND, May Is, 1867.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I see by your Wednesdays
paper that an order has bee issued by your
City Council, tor the pavement of certain
streets, and as the useful and ornamental
should go together, permit me to offer through
your paper a few practical remarks on the
pavement of streets ~
Your city is one of the most beautiful and
healthy in the State, and it would be pity to
MARI it with unsightly roads.
The first thing to be taken into considera-
ton IN making new, streets is the drainage.
Streets thoroughly drained are half paved !:
and to do this effectually, requires a deep,
wide drain on each side, or one much larger,
in the centre. with smaller ones running from
each side, having CRATES to carry off the sur
face water to the main.
Secondly, dig out from two to three feet of
earth, according to the quality of the land
below the level of the street, and fill up with
loose stones set edgways, crossing the street
to the main sewers or drains--large stones in
the bottom and smaller to the bed of your
pavement---and foundation thus laid will re-
sist the action of the severest FROST and your
pavement will be secure. it4i -
Thirdly, set all your streets with SQUARE
stOne say nine to ten inches deep, four to six
inches thick, twelve to fourteen inches long,
running from side to side within ten or twelve
inches OF the curb or edge stones that support
the walks; fill up the space on each side with
the same kind of stone set lengthwise, or with
a broader stone set an inch lower than the
pavement, and four to five inches lower than
the walks; then you will have a road worthy
OF the splendid architecture that is grazing
those streets, which will last if well done from
ten to fourteen years, with but little cost for
repairs.
You have all the material at hand on every
side, and the expense will he far less than
paving with rounded pebbles from the ocean
shore. The best stone for such an undertak-
ing may be found by the track Of the Grand
Trunk, and below the depot, facing the bay,
and much of it carved by nature for the pur-
poses named; and the cost in your case would
be bat a tritle compared within its use. I shall
be glad to meet any of the gentlemen of this
city, while am staying here, who may wish
to consult with me in this matter, and give
them all the information in my power, or an
swer any Inquiry by post or otherwise, ad-
dressed to Inc at No. 90 Cotton street. / re-
main Sir, yours respectfully,
