EDITORIAL NOTES.

Friday may be an unlucky day, but such Fridays as yesterday do not deserve to be re- garded with suspicion.
 Occasionally man is foand who is not fond of change. John and Jacob Weber are still teaching school which they opened in New Orleans in May, 1s4O. at which they have taught continuously. without a vacation, aud with only fifteen days intermission in fifty years to permit of the repair of the building. Few persons who view 8 passenger train as 1t goes laundering past have an idea that it represents cash value of from $75, 900 to $120, ,000. but such is tho case. The ordinary express train represents from ss3. 900 to s00,- 900. The engine and tender are valued at | $i0. 0.b00, the baggage car $i,000, the postal car 5000, tho smoking car 5000, two ordi- nary passenger cars GIG, ,00o each, three palace cars $ib. 900 each; total ss8,0oo.
 | President dompers. of tho Federation of Labor, declares that of tho various trades which requested shorter hours 27. 900 earpen- tars gained Q reduction from nine to eight hours; S0,00O men in tho same trade were granted eight hours as q days work, Tho granite cutters throughout the country. num- beripg 16.00O. 15.0OO or 20. 900 plasterers and laborers in nearly every portion of the coun- try, clerks, ironworkers, plumbers, stsamft- ters aud workers in numerous other trades have gained conoessions, making gssnd total of 900, 900 working people who are directly benefited by the movement.
 Bacteria of various kinds have been found in ice and snow, and Dr. Fontin, Russian observer, has now proved that hailstones are not free from them. He has found that the water produced by the melting of hailstones contains on an average 729 bacteria per cubic centimeter. Neither yeast fungus nor mold was present, but nine different kinds of bac- teria were found, five of which-B. mycoides, liquefaciens, luteus, sarcina latea end auran- tiaca-are already known. As the ordinary :. dwelling place of tho bacillus myooides fl ] the earth, we are confronted with the fsoi that microbes of terrestrial origin may b. carried up into the air, and thus rain, snow and hail may be the direct means of convey. ing infection.
 There are some very bad things in Utah  , and there are some good things. The olt folks in Utah had their annual festival Tues day. Once year they are made the guest of the younger generation for day. Every one over 70 is in some way or other especial 7. ly remembered. For those who are able t
 go, excursions and entertainments ar n planned, and the feeble are cared for in som
 pleasant way at their homes Ogden sent
 train load to the lake, and osher parts of tn
 territory gave g trip to Salt Lake City. r was the day of the year for the old folks d when their comfort aud pleasure is every
 body's first care. This is custom whic U ought to be generally initiated.

The pavements laid during the past year
were granite block asphalt on bituminous base
and asphalt block.
The specifications for these various kinds Of
pavements will be found in the appendices to
this report and seem to need no further de-
scription.
GRANITE BLOCK.
Where the traffic is heavy it has been con-
sidered best to use the granite block pave
ment, which believe to be the true city pave
ment for all purposes, its durability and
strength being greater than that Of any other
kind now laid.
ASPHALT PAVEMENT on BIrUMINoUs BASE.
The asphalt pavements should be regarded
as luxuries, being very comfortable for travel
and remarkably free from dust and dirt, and
form an excellent pavement for residential
streets or where the traffic Is not heavy.
ASPHALT BLOCK PAVEMENT.
The same may be said Of the asphalt block
pavement. Quite q large amount Of this pave
ment has been laid during the past year, and
will, believe, give satisfaction.
SHEET ASPHALT PAVEMENT
Two streets were laid during the past year
with sheet asphalt pavement, using old cobble
stone pavement for foundation. The same
was done the year before, as mentioned in the
last annual report. So far it seems to be Civ
ing us excellent results and by means Of il q
saving has been obtained Of about so cents per
square yard
GRADING AND REGULATING.
A number of streets have been graded and
regulated in the city, the same method OF
grading and regulating being used as was used
in the previous year and mentioned in the last
annual report, viz: the laying of q brick side
walk, curb, cobble gutter and macsdamized
aIxvav MIA A.
made by reducing the thickness OF the mac
adam to six and one-half inches and arranging
the grade below the desired grade of the street
to make use of the same in the future when
the street should be permanently pared, using
the said macadam for a base. This would do
| very well were the graded and regulated streets
paved within a comparatively short time. but
as the time OF paving the street is uncertain
believe it to be better to give the full thickness
Of twelve and one-half inches Of macadan and
gravel surface. When the streets are after
ward paved this material becomes available
for use on unimproved streets, the cost being
reduced to the haul to where 1t is to he used
and spreading it in position.
In the last annual report it was stated that an
effort would be made to dispense with curb on
graded and regulated streets. Although l be-
lieve this to be safe and proper thing to do in
the suburbs. within the city or on very steep
grades, / do not believe it to be proper, and
during the past year curb was put in, thereby
increasing the cost over the estimated ex-
pense.
Tables are given showing the nature, dist.i-
button and cost of the various improvements
made from the appropriation for street I'M
provements during the year.
APPROPRIATIONS 1690-9l.
From the list Of streets approved by Con-
gress the Commissioners selected the follow
ing for improvement in lsso-9i and the same
are under contract:
