The replacement OF the remnants Of the old
WOODEN pavalnentS was during the past year, as
during so MANY years previous, the principal work
on the streets The amount OF these still remain
ing on July 1st 1884, was 20 go yards, covering
length or 2.42 miles. Estimates for the replace
nent or this entire amount were submitted to Con-
gresS at It's last session, but the appropriation not
being equal TO the estimates, 1t was decided in
making up the contracts for the current year to
omit portion OF the replacement OF the wood in
the northwest section In order that the work Of
paving the streets on Capitol Hill, which has been
50 long delayed In consequence or the wood. might
no longer be deferred. 1t thus results that there
still remain on the streets about 81 800 yards of
Wood, covering about 4 miles A large part OF
TINS has been repaired with gravel, and the
balance is included in the estimates for next year;
and when these are replaced, the last vestige Of
WOOD Will have disappeared from the streets.

Wooden pavements have lately come into vogue
In London and Paris, where they meet with great
those which were used here, and they are laid on
a concrete foundation; but the wooden covering
only lasts from five to seven years, and the ex-
pense, including first cost and frequent renewals,
is between three and four times the cost Of asphalt
pavemenLs, laid in this city. In view Of the ex-
perience here, 1t is not probable that any PROPOSE
lions for wooden pavementS will be entertained
for some years to come.
The pavements, as now laid. are OF three classes,
depending upon the traf1c and the grade OF the
street, VIZ: granite blocks sheet asphalt, and as
phalt blocks, the durability and the cost being In
the order stated. Long experience has reduced
these pavements to the nature OF standards and It
is believed that they have solved the problem of
paving under the conditions existing In Washing
ton. No change has been made during the past
year In the method OF preparing or laying these
pavementS, OF which full descriptions have been
tons for each class will be found in the appendix
The average cost per square yard Is as follows
