vices from Ontario state that the de-

throughout that province is daily be-
coming more intensified Meetings of
farmers are being held at various
points and petitions prepared for trans
mission to Ottawa, asking the Dominion
government to help farmers to bring
hay from the northwest to feed their
cattle. In a great part Of the northern
district there is no hay at all and as
freight rates on the hay are high with

for many farmers to keep cows through
the winter. In some parts of the pro-

At st. MARITIME. owing TO the dry
weather, the grasshoppers became so
numerous that they frightened the

POINTS FOR JERSEY CITY.
Newark Officials Inspect Pavements
Ia PlaEufield.

Ia
To procure information about brick pave
ments and the manner in which they should
be laid was the object of a trip to Trenton
and Philadelphia made by Mayor Lebkue
cher, Board of Works Commissioners Van
Duyne, Joralemon and ~Burkhardt, and En-
gineers Adam and Sherrerd. Clerk Linnett
accompanied the party. Mr.. Sherrerd and
Mr.. Linnett ~iourneyed to the City of Broth
erly Love Tuesday night and the rest of the
party took a train at S:25 o'clock yesterday
morning.
Arrived in Philadelphia, the N%ewarkers
were met by local officials and a tour of
fourteen brick-paved streets were made.
The Newarkers were well pleased with the
appearance of the pavements. Some of the
bricks had been laid on sand foundation, but
even such ~thcroughfares presented a good
surface after years of wear. Where a con-
crete base was included the pavement showed
ND to much better advantage and no doubt
was left in the minds of the Newarkers that
prick pavements should be given q chance in
this city.
After leaving Philadelphia the Newark
officials stopped at Trenton for a couple OF
hours and examined pavements there. On
Greenwood avenue, Trenton, the finest job
of the lot was witnessed. The bricks were
putdowni in 1892 and the pavement as viewed
yesterday, was nearly perfect. None of the
Newark officials had ever seen such a good
piece of work in that particular line before.
Concrete was used as a base and Portland
cement held the bricks firmly together
On State street, Trenton, where shale brick
had been used instead of the fire clay variety,
the pavement did not look so well, as the
bricks had begun to chip. ~
Specifications for the work We're secured
in both cities, and specifications from other
places are expected in a few days. The Off
