Six Miles of savannah streets Give 81
Sanguine Trial.


Appropos of the advent of frebricS
pavements In Wilmington Il might be
well to speak of the shell streets with
which the city Of Savannah is expert
mentng. It has six miles Of shell streets
and the Savannah News says the expert
ment is a great success. "Not only.
says the News, ''is the shell pavement
substantial and lasting but cheap and
easy to repair Once the shells become
thoroughly crushed and packed the pave
ment gets almost as hard as asphalt. and
is even more noiseless. All that is neces-
sary TO keep the pavement in good order is
a watering once day and an occasional
shoveful of new shells thrown here and
there as holes begin TO wear.
"rhe durability of the shell pavement
is splendidly illustrated by that part Of
Jefferson street from Charleston to An
derson. It is the only paved thorough
fare running across the city on the west
ern side, and in consequence is subjected
TO the heaviest kind of traffic In the
shape of large trucks and wagons. There
