SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR ASPHALT.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The editorial In your Issue OF April o.
Needed Improvement" suggesting the making
OF smooth pavements to the East Twenty-third
Street Ferry. Is timely. and Improvement is much
needed. Twenty-sixth-st has an asphalt pavement
from Ninth-ave. to the foot OF East Twenty-sixth-
st. II an asphalt pavement is made on one side
OF First-ave. from Twenty-sxth TO Twenty fourth
St. through Twcnty-fourth-st to Avenue a, and
from Avenue to the ferry house. there will be
continued asphalt for all cyclists who come down
Lexington. Madison or Eighth-aves, all of which
are asphalted. and give them direct access to the
East Twenty-third-st. ferry; and with new asphalt
on the streets above mentioned. they would have
a continuous smooth pavement on this side OF the
river. which would afford fine opportunity for the
cyclists OF New-York to go TO Prospect Park and
from there to Coney Island
II the authorities Of Brooklyn would make a
pavement from about two or three blocks from
the Twenty third-st. ferry-house their side. to
Bedford-ave.. there would be continuous pavements
from Harlem to Coney Island. by the way OF Fifth
ave. Central Park. Madison-ave.. Twenty-sixth-

fact that the increase is given for .he entire Ind

are increasing at rate serious to contemplate II
the United States Government Is going to continue
the policy Of "corralling them on reservations IN

reservations and we'll fed and clothed It is no UNI
