POOR OPINION OF ASPHALT.

What the Denver Special Committee Says
About Paving Materials.
Chairman Birkhauser of the Board of Pub
lie Works has just received printed report
of the special committee on public improve
ments sent out byr the city of Denver last
summer to investigate public improvements
in all the leading cities OF the country They
visited New York, Boston, Chicago, St.
Louis, Philadelphia Washington, Rochester,
Buffalo, Detroit, milwaukee,, Brooklyn.
Omaha aud Kansas City.
The following partly expresses their opu-
ion of what they saw here: 1.-THE sheet
asphalt placed by the Barber company IN
Omaha Is the worst asphalt paving your
committee saw in amy OF the cities visited.
The Barber company has given so little at
tentlon to repairs and the streets are in such
a deploraole condition that the council has
ordered the city attorney to commence pro-
ceedlngs to anuul she contracts with the
Barber company ar
The committee concluded that granite
block was the only paving for business sec
tions or streets subject to heavy traffic 1t
found macadam u favorite pavement in a
large number Of cities for park drives, boule-
wards and light traffic streets, and believed
that as laid in Chicago it was the most suit
able paving for such streets. 1t found that
asphalt had been laid to large extent in
several OF tho cities. Some OF it looked well
and some was SIN wretched condition aud
would almost make person sick to ride over
it," The commituee found great diversity
of opinion regarding asphalt 1t recon-
mended that ffteen-year guarantee be re-
qulred Oh all asphalt pavements, the cost of
guarantee to be added to :he costof construc-
tior and taxed on abutting property, and
where moneys are retained by the city as
guarantee, they be placed at interest for the
benefit of the contractor, although New
York withholds 30 per cent without interest.

IOWA'S STATE CONVENTION
Temporary officers Selected to Preside

In the Republican Party's
Platform.

DEs MoINEs, Ia, March 15.-fSpecial Tee-
gram TO THE BEE. The republican state
committee met here this evening and selected
the following temporary officers for the con-
vention Thursday IN addition to A. b. Cum
Minis. before selected Reading clerk, j. w.
Cliff, Jasper county; secretary, +. f. Mer-
riam, Delaware county; first assistant,
Samuel Mayne, Kossuth county; second, w.
f. Bicknell, Humboldt county; sergeant-at-
arms, j. S. Davidson, Muscatine; assistant,
ii. A. White, Riuggold.
Mr. Cummins has been pronounced leader
OF the anti-probibition republicans, and an
effort has been made by the opposition ele-
ment to have the committee withdraw his
name, but at meeting this afternoon the
committee decided TO stand by its action, and
MIR. Cummins will preside over tho tempo
rary organization.
This is regarded as an indication that for
the first time In ten years the liquor question
will be ignored in the proceedings and plat
form. The main issue before the
delegates Is one of presidential
preferences. Notwithstanding Blane's
letter there are enough uninstructed
Blaine men to make fight, and If Har-
rison instructions are introduced the Blaine e
men will they say, make determined stand
for their favorite and hope to stampede the
convention. General Clarkson and State
Chairman Mack are the favorites thus far
for delegates-a at large.

DEs MoINEs Ia, March 15-[Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. 1t was expected that the
opening meeting Of the Southwest Iowa Edi-
torlal ASSOCIATION would begin at 10 a. IN.
today, but at that hour it was found that the
number Of delegates in attendance was very
few, and the gavel Of President Ltsle did not
sound. The trains brought quite a number
of other delegates aud the prospect is fair
for an interesting and well attended conven-
tion. Those in the city this forenoon passed
the time in visiting the legislature and other
points of interest. At 80 p. m. the
editors assembled and listened to q short
address by President Lisle, who dwelt
particularly on the benefits of organization
and of occasional meetings for the inter-
change of thoughts on matters in tho news
paper business. Committees on Job and ad
vertising prices, resolutions transportation
and excursion were selected and the after
noon program was in part carried out
This evening an address by General e. T..

prelude to banquet rendered by the Des

and maintained, were things demanded for
the progress and development OF the city,
they preferred the course adopted, especially
also IN view OF the fact that repeated meet
ings had already been held, at which II had
been almost unanimously voted that the di-
rectors should mako selection without fur
ther reference to the club.
rho reference made to Mr.. Hitchcock Is
entirely uncaled for | am positive that
since no submitted n proposition for this
same ground az higher figure, nearly year
ago, the subject has not been at any time
mentioned by him TO any member OF the
board. Tho negotiation which has resulted
In the approval OF his ground, emanated from
the board and | am sure was surprise 10
him.
The money difference stated as between
the two lots is also wrong. The sellers OF
the Eighteenth and Douglas site required
the board 10 pay the taxes levied for the
Douglas street grading, and this joined with
the grading of the lot and paving, curbing
aud guttering (all of which is saved at the
Twentieth street site) makes the actual
money difference not for from Sl5,OOO, IN
stead of $1,000. These considerations, to-
gether with the still unsettled grade OF
Douglas street at this point eighteenth
street, and the necessity OF early action, III
building is to be erected the present year, de-
cided the location, which in the board was
unanimous vote.
| do not believe the statement is correct
of the club are in business in the New York
Iife building and the Office buildings be-
tween Fifteenth street and the court house.
On the contrary the conviction prevails that
the active members of the club are largely
taken from the banks, railroad offices and
wholesale houses on the east OF Thirteenth
street, who would be obliged to rido to reach
tho club if located on Eighteenth street, and
who in this respect are better served by the
Twentieth street location, as the Harney
street line runs in front OF the ground aud
the Dodge street cable and Farnarn street
motors are each only one block distant.
So far as the sentiment of the cluo mem
bers is concerned the directors have heard
but one report, which is of satisfation; not
even the MOTTO be quoted member having
deigned to express his opinion so as to be
known.
A majority of the directors are none-club
men-that is they rarely use or visit the club
but they are business men, chosen largely
for the purpose Of accomplishing the erection
of a building. They have no other inter-
est to serve except that of the club and
the public, ard towards the desirable object
in view they are prepared to work until 1T is
an accomplished fact If they did not be-
lieve thev had with them the support of not
n majority only, but of nearly every member
of the club, as well as the sympathy of the
public at large, they would quickly yield
their places to others who could then ''ruleor
ruin" TO their hearts content.

Arrangements for Establishing Car Whee
Foundry COmpleted.

Arrangements for Establishing n Car Wheel
Foundry Completed.
Arrangements have been completed by the
Real Estate Owners association to assist
financially the Phoenix r'oundry company in
getting its plant in shape for the manufac-
ture of car wheels. The foundry at present
has capacity of making about fifty wheels a
day, and these have been contracted for by
the Union Pacific railroad.
In speaking Of the quality of the wheels
Lawyer John L. Gathers of the association
is authority for the statement that Mr.. KIM
ball OF tho Union Pacific says that the
wheels stood the best test of any wheels he
had used. The wheels are made OF a combi-
nation of three different kinds of iron
brought from Plttsburg, Connecticut and
Lake Superior.
AS soon as the foundry company can in
crease its capacity for the manufacture of
wheels the Burlington road il is said will
also take fifty or more wheels day. The
street railways Of Omaha, Council Bluffs
and Sioux City will also mako contracts for
their wheels.
The foundry now has an expert car wheel
maker and all of It's patterns and mOlds are
made. 1t is thought that as soon as this
foundry gets under headway there will be
other car wheel works established In Omaha
The Union Pacific will save an expense of at
least so, 900 q year by having its wheels
manufactured in this city. The expense will
be saved in freight from the east, as that
road requires 100 wheels day on an aver
age
