AspbaIt Pavements i'm Berlin.

Only asphalt pavements will be laid in Ber-
lin, Germany during the fiscal year 1862,
according to decision of the Board OF Alder
men in that city, reported in the Berliner
Lokal Anzeiger of September IS. An excep-
ton is made in the case of streets where cOndi-
tions of grade or extraordinarily heavy traffic
make stone pavements necessary. The resolu-
tion is the result OF large number of petitions
from citizens favoring asphalt pavement, and
1t is further stated that in the future bids for
such pavements will be received from any
contractor and not, as in the past, from a Sc
lected list of contractors.-New York Engin-

Philadelnhla Ledger.

The University OF Pennsylvania reached an
other stage of development yesterday in the
laying of the cornerstone OF the new dormi-
tories and when these buildings and others in
contemplation are completed the university
will be one of the most admirably equipped
educational foundations in the country in
every feature of university life. 1t is possible
Tor university to reach the trout rank as a
center of learning without 0ormitories, as the
history of our home institution strikingly de-
monstrates, but, with this important adjunct
OF collegiate life, the university is destined to
enter upon career of still more abounding in
huence and prosperity.

The Opportunity Finally Comes.

After all our talk about the desirability of
establishing beet-sugar factory in this
county, where there is an almost unlimited
area of just the soil needed, the opportunity is
now very near if we have the people who will
reach out for it. Claus Spreckels proposes to
establish three more beet-sugar factories
throughout the State. Do we want one? Have
we the men who will contract to raise the
beets required? Who will take the lead in Sc
curing this new industry?

STREET-RAILWAY PROFITS.

The incredible profits which corpora
tions that are essentially monopolies are
permitted to earn in this country are the
outgrowth of sentiment that in a country
where freedom is the watchword it is an
interference with individual rights and
privileges to put a severe curb upon the
manner in which a man may choose to
handle his own property. But the coun-
try is slowly learning the unwisdom and
danger OF permitting that sentiment to
run away with common-sense and imperil
the public safety. Already the cities are
beginning to take charge of certain kinds
of public service, including water and
lights. Next will come street railways,
for the profits which they are drawing
from the public are unjust, unreasonable
and out of all proportion to the public
benefits of the service.
Toronto, as is already known in the
United States, made an investigation a
few years ago and was amazed to discover
the enormous profits which the street rail
ways of that city were earning. 1t
promptly had the lines appraised and
bought them. After operating them few
months it sold them practically at cost
and gave the purchasing company a
twenty-year franchise. For this priviIe1e
the company pays the city annually $500
mile of single track, and in addition the
following percentages on the gross. re-
celpts of each year:
Per cent.
Up to 81 100000 per year. 8
Between s Sl.000,0 600 and 81 800 000 ..........10
Between s., SOC, 600 and So, 900 000. .........l2
Between 50 900, 600 and S3,000000. .............15
<ApoNe So'oooVVU
The franchise prohibited the operation
of the road on Sunday until such time as
the people should declare in favor of it by
popular vote. 1t provided for fares of 5
cents, with free transfers to any part of
the city, and night fares (from II until
$500 of 10 cents; it further provided for
the sale of eight tickets for % cents, good
on day cars until A. NJ. and from to 6 80
P. NJ. and for other tickets, good any time
during the day, at twenty-five for 81, or
six for 25 cents; besides these, school
tickets are sold fer use between s A. NJ. and
P, NJ, five days in the week, at ten for 25
cents. The hours of labor on the system
are limited by the franchise to ten a day.
The company agrees to add 2 per cent,
right through the scale, to its payments
on gross receipts if it is at any time re-
leased from its obligation to sell eight
tickets for % cents, for use during the
hours above named.
The revenues received by the city from
this source have been as follows:
