streets IN other places where the rock
has been tried. | don't want such a
pavement to go down until it has been
thoroughly tested.
Mr.. f. l.. Forrester-Couucil ought to

which has not as yet been done. You
ought to appoint some special person or
persons to examine the material and re-

it done unless it has been better tested.

too, which make it question whether
property can be assessed-for example
in cases where curbs have already been
constructed.

have any changes made in the contract
so as to make it satisfactory.
