STEUB.SvILLE, O., February 6.-One day
this week, on noticing that party OF work
men had dug up the brick pavement al the
corner Of Sixth and Logan streets, citi-
zen remarked that Steu benville had paved
streets equal TO those Of large cities with
out the knowledge Of how 70 take care OF
them. Ia Columbus, for instance. he said,
no one could dig up the street without hrst
signing paper agreeing 10 replace IL IN
the same condition IL was before dug up,
and the agreement is binding, and the au-
thorities see that il is observed In Steuben-
vile, If any one wants to get at any kind OF
a pipe the brick pavement is dug up, and
after the pipe is repaired the bricks ale put
back and allowed 10 stand about twoinches
above the others. After a time the
the dirt settles more than calculated
on and hole is left in the street. The
claim that the bricks cannot be put back
in the same condition they were before IS
not tenable. II time was taken and suf-
fcieut amount of labor expended on the
work the dirt in the hole cold be rammed
as solidly as it was before disturbed. II
the present style of work is kept II will
not be many years before our beautiful
streets will be full of holes and unsightly
in appearance.
