While the question of sewage and

BRICK PAYMENTS.
Within the past few years several
towns in the Western States have been
experimenting with street pavep,ents of
brick. Many miles of brick pavement,
it is needless to say, exist in Holland.
and If we are not mistaken, there are re-
mains of brick ia the streets of Nan
tucket, but elsewhere in the United
States this material has been rarely, if
ever before, used for the purpose. Ac-
cording to the Engineering -NeJrS, Bloom
ingtOn deserves the credit of being the
first modern town in this country 10 in
trodUce brick paving ON an extensive
scale. The town is situated in the clay
region, and bricks are cheap there. as
we'll as good, and by careful selection of
material it has been found possible to
produce bricks SO tough and hard that in
Bloc miugtOn, where seven miles of
streets are now laid with them, they
have been found, after ten years eXpe-
rierCe. durable as we'll as cheap and con-
venient. In Amsterdam, W here, although

means Of horses and wagons, the pave
menUs of small whitish bricks, show lit
tie sign Of wear, and, partly on account
of their porosity, and partly from the
numerous Joints which exist between
them, they are in wet weather much dry
er and pleasanter to walk over than
stone, or even asphalt.
In the illinois towns the street Is pre-
pared for paving by forming the natural
81,
then laid four inches of coarse sand or
cinders, evenly spread, cinders being pre-
ferred on account of the letter drainage
which they afford. and the whole is COW
cred with bricks laid flat, with joints as
close as pOssIb!-, and accurately formed
to the desired profile. Fine sand is
then spread over the surface and worked
well into the joints with broom. and
after laying an inch more of sand over
l., the top course, consisting of bricks on
edge, is set as closely as possible, and the
joints of this also well filed with sand.
The multiplicity of joints makes the
pavement easy and safe for horses to
travel over, and the whole cost il only
from Sl.40 to 81 so per square yard.
Our climate is we'll calculated for this
kind OF pavement, ana the absence Of
stone within the State. and the sandy
soil, makes this style of roadway the
most desirable, and can be easily and
cheaply constructed, and thee being no
heavy drayage, will stand the wear for
years. This style OF roadway, while it
may he novel to many. is no untried ex-
pertinent. We must have good road
ways, and would 1t not IL a good plan
for the city To agree to pay half the ex-
pense and the property owners on the
line of the improvement pay the other
half. whenever they shall ask for the

other cities. Why not let us try the
brick roadway on at least one block, say
that in front of the new Putnam. and
test the matter for ourselves Mex.

Board of Trade.

At an adjourned meeting of the Abb

for the purpose of considering the strike
question, the following resolutions
were presented by the committee APP
pointed for that purpose, and were
unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, The knights of labor of
America secret organization of the
industrial classes, has. without cause
or justification. gone out on strike,
and not only refuse TO work themselves,
bat by force and intimidation prevent
other men from filling their places,
and in addition To this, destroying

commerce, and even cndangering lives:
and whereas. the result Of such action by
the knights of labor is disastrous 10

interests of the country. therefore be
it
ReSOlred.. By the Abilene Board of
Trade, that While we recognize and
approve of any and all classes of men
Tor women to organize for mutual inn
prOvement and protection, and for the
purpose OF advancing their interests
by ali lawful means. yet we heartily,
emphatically and without reserve con-
denim the recent action Of the leaders of
the knights Of labor rs species OF
despotiSm and tyranny which is incOm-
patlDle with the Institutions of this free
republic, and ought not to be
permitted to take root on our soil. We
believe that the situation requires a
firm stand to be taken 10y the railroads
and the public to the end that the law
leSSnesS of the past two weeks may not
be repeated in the future.
ReS0lced, That we call on cur repre-
sentative in congress to favor the enact
ment OF such laws. and to provide such
laws, and to provide such measures for
their enforcement, that every citizen of
this land shall be protected in his con-
right to labor in safety and
without mOleStatiOn. and TO enjoy the
use of his property without unlawful

ReSOlced, That these resolutions be
