STREET EATING.

Action of the Chamber of Commerce.
 The chamber of commerce had a lively talk on the street pavement question Saturday night, President Sperry presiding, and adopted the com mittee's report on the subject, which will be presented to the common coun- cil The report recommends that pro- vision be made authorizing the city to issue street improvement bonds in sums as may be necessary; also that one- fifth of the cost of the pavement be assessed on the abutting propery, to be paid in five equal annual install- ments. That the railway company or companies occupying the street be as sessed such a proportional part of the total cost of the pavement as the width of each company's track or tracks and two feet outside on each side bears to the total width of the roadway. The balance to be assessed on the city.
 The report also recommends that the law be fixed so that street railway companies shall pay a S1a per cent. tax on their gross earnings to the cities and towns where their tracks run.
 The chamber also recommends the use or SneeL dSpnall, VQIIlIleu DIlCh anu granite dimension blocks for paving, the choice of which to be determined by the owners of a majority of the abutting property represented at a hearing to be held for the purpose.
 The sheet asphalt pavement is recom- mended as suitable for residential streets, but should not be used where the grades are over 8 per cent
 The vitrified brick pavement is recom- mended as suitable for streets of mod crate and heavy traffic where asphalt or granite is not desired. Only the best quality of tough, uniformly burned, vitrified brick should be used.
 The granite dimension block pave ment is recommended for very heavy traffic business streets only. It should not be used on residential streets, or on streets where the noise resulting from it's use would be very objectiona- ble.
 Upon motion of General George Fl. Ford, the president was requested to present the resolutions to the court of common council and empowered to ap- point such members to go with him as he desired.
