THE NEW AVENUE PAVEMENT
Capt. SymOns Says 1t Will be Finished
in Time for the Big Parade.

81 am unable to see what will prevent the
completion of Pennsylvania avenue in time for
the big parade in October, unless the elements
are decidedly against u.s." said Capt Symons
to a STAB reporter today. 1.-The railroad COM
pany are certainly to be congratulated for the
expeditions manner in which they have car
ried out their portion Of the work. They have
finished laying their tracks and expect to COM
plete the paving between the rails and tracks
this week.
AS / have already said" he continued, sun
less the weather is dead against US the avenue
will surely be completed, at least from 7th
street to 18th. The north side of the avenue
from 18th to LIST will also be completed. and pos
sibly the south side, but we don't propose to
take any chances, and the best portion Of that
section will remain intact until we can see our
way clear.
BEST PAVEMENT IN THE WORD.
"The pavement already laid" be continued
sis. as far as 1 know, the best in the world"
''Wlll the new pavement compare favorably
with the old one?" asked the reporter
More than favorsbly. 1t viii be decidedly
better. One great change is that for the new
pavement We require q binder coat. Hereto
fore it WAS the custom 10 lay the surface on
top Of the hydraulic concrete base This new
departure will prevent the wavy appearance Of
the pavement and make 1t more substantial"

Concerning the Recordership.

To the Editor VI The EVENING SrAR.
It would be well for the new marshal TO know
what the feeling Of the District 10 in regard 10
purely local offices, and 70 be informed that he
is rendering himself very unpopular by his ad-
vocscy of an outsider for this entirely local
Office. Your paper stated day or two ago that
Mr.. Perry Heath, who Is also . candidate for
the recordership, Claiming cItissnship here sent
word TO the President that il he could not have
the Office he would prefer 70 see Tanner ap-
pointed 10 anybody else. II this 10 the sort Of
District man Mr.. Heath Il ve hardly want him
at the head OF one Of our local oficss The
fact 10 that there are lot Of candidates for the
recordership Who think that they viii have
nothing to do but draw the fees, thereby en-
sbling them to devote their time TO outside
business. This has been the practice in the
past, and il is this that brought the ofacs into
such disrspute.
There 10 no Office In this country that needs
closer supervision than the Office Of the re-
corder OF deeds OF the District Of Columbia,
and when such supervision il not given il and
the head Of the ofdce d not worker in the in
terest Of the Office the result l. precisely the
same as would Be the case In any ONCE or
counting room. A CITIZEN.

man i'm the buggy who had leaned too far caught
his foot in the wheel and would have been badly hurt
not killed outright but for the action of the boy VINO
ran out in the street in front of the horse and held his
stick in threatening manner the horse approached
him. This action on the part of the lad stopped the
horse straight in front of him and the lad seized the
bride and held the animal until the owner extfcated ms

HOW TO PROTECT THE BEACHES FROM THEIR

To me EDITOR OF The tribune.
Sir; Until next spring the northeasterly storm.
whose resources for making havoc upon the eApo'o"
beaches at Long Branch and at Coney lsiaio arc Wv
well known is likely TO visit these as wen do siha,
exposed points, under conditions AKIN 10 those VIM
have left their mark and impress already too "oeP
to forget As matter Of engineering, no mere oo",
binaton and massng together Of material ana s.ruoS
ure will avail against the turbulent sea whose iorcc'
under the operation of a long prevailing northeast
storm will be greater to destroy. The engineer must
study his physics the operation and action OF water
under the conditions presented.
The English engineers built the breakwater at White
haven and said IL would stand; the Old seaheh'
familiar with the effect Of certain prevailing s'ornis
there said it wouldn't; and II didn't The sailors hau
experienced the engineers had not, ana mere ell

sist those storms failed.
An upright structure, such characteriZed inc

Brighton or any steep embankment or blum OF earh Vi
sand, as at Long Branch offered to the direct acIioh
of the sea and Storm can be OF only temporary avail
as long since predicted in the former case and as te
results at Long Branch, etc, under similar clrcuh-
stances confirmed. The Concourse at C0ney Islihu-
until exposed to attack beyond the control OF the
authorities there-resisted successfully for years the
action OF these storms. The long slope on the sea-
ward face was impervious to water, but oheFed
the least resistance TO the force of the cumulative I'M
pact the sea in its fury The Concourse though It's
surface was over six feet above normal high tide was
frequently submerged but the recession of the waters
was easy and did no harm. At C0ney Island the less
opposition offered TO the action OF the water under the
influence of these storms the better
At Long Branch, where structural arrange
ments seem desirable, the principle should pre-
vail part Of the slope at points where the force
and action of the Is to be met ana
alleviated, If possible might be heavily sheathed by
tight jolnted planks, the foot below high tide, ana

and upward motion Of the water. II the water does
not get behind it and undermine It, IL would probably
prove TO be the best form of resistance available SO
as to buwarks or bukheads, adopting this theory OF
construction best likely to accommodate Itself to the
conditions named, OF least resistance.
This is only in the nature Of a suggestion, the de-
