that the streets are bad The pavement adopted
in Paterson. a rule. has been Telford macsdam
made OF the blue trap-rock from the surrounding
hills. The trouble has been negligent and inef1-
cient management OF repairs. The city has thirty
eight miles of macadamzed streets. according to
the latest report The Inadequate appropriation for
sprinkling has caused the dust 10 be a constant
annoyance. and the alleged repairs have been in
many cases the most careless patchwork. The con-
sequence is that many miles OF streets. on which
large announces have been spent. in wreiched
condition. An important contribution to the dis
cussion Of this matter was paper prepared py
John T Hilton. and read before the Board OF
