TUE PAVING CONTRACTS,

The want of explicit terms in the advcr-
tisemcut for tenders of bids for paving scv-
eral streets ~ 10 the peculiar character Of
pavement bid for, and which were opened
on Thursday last by the District Commission
eIs, involves some embarrassment Oh theiI
part in awarding of contracts II would
seem that this difficulty can be got Ovcr by
making the award for the best pavement
extant in the District, and 10 contructurs of
Wnqucstioncd ability and experience, who
are known to have the most improved ma
chinery, &c. used for that purpose. This
will secure what the people OF the District
want in this relation more than anything
elsc--the very best pavement available 1t
is not u matter of 50 much Importance with
the Taxpayers who may secure these con
tracts a. il l. that tll" city shall secure
durability and pcr!"ctntss Ia the pINrucnk
that are laid. 4 poor pavement Is dear At
any price, while good one is the dsid,'-
dfum Of the hour. Ii il il worth while to
pave at all. the very hest work will yindi-
cate the action of the Commissioners III
higher figures better than an indifferent
quality OF pavement at lnwcr prices. The
very best only is good enough for the Ma
tiOnal Capital.
