REPAIRING
ASPHALT F.


MCNTS,
The tearing up of asphalt pavements
for the laying of subway. water and
gas pipes and for sewer connections, is
one Of the knottlest problems with
which the public works department
have to deal, Builders have right to
these connections which cannot be
abridged and corporations obtain
rights for street disturbance which the
city authorities find it difficult to COM
bat. While 1t Is usually made compul-
sorry to obtain a permit for such work,
and the parties are compelled to re-
store the pavement in kind after the
break is made the filing put in almost
invariably settles In time, and the
street surface sinks with it, leaving a
long hollow In the pavement, The at
tempt is now being made in several
large cities to appeal to the pockets OF
the offending parties by making the
cost of repairs as excessive as is rea-
sonably possible, in the hope that this
cost will discourage any but the most
necessary openings.
Brooklyn has just framed a regula-
lluH IGQuI1tiS NOT only proper Ielill-
ing and ramming of the trench, but
also the laying of eight inches of Port
land cement concrete under the paving
surface. 1t is expected that this con-
crete will bridge the opening and pre-
vent surface settlement even when the
filling beneath does sink. But the new
regulation also adds most materially to
the cost and nature of the repairs, and
tends to place this work in the hands
of experienced and responsible men,
rather than to divide it, as now, among
many contractors. Incidentally 1t
may be mentioned that New York city
charges four dollars per square yard
for opening an asphalt pavement, with
a minimum charge of sixteen dollars;
and eight dollars for the first yard of
granite pavement four dollars for
each additional yard The city of Phil
adelphia charges three dollars for a
permit to open an asphalt pavement,
and increases this amount TO eighteen
dollars between December / and March
1 in any Engineering News.

Unless an Agreement Is Soon

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S-General 1. N.
Walker, commander-in-c chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, is greatly
exercised over the possible refusal of
the Western Passenger association to
extend privileges asked for in the way
Of limitation Of tickets to the next
grand encampment. The rate of cent
a mile each way from the Atlantic sea-
board has been conceded but the pas
senger association desires to limit
tickets to two days after the convention
for the return.
General Walker held conference in
his rooms at the Palmer House with a
committee from st. Paul, composed of
General Z. G. Mason, Ex-Governor 4.
r. McGill, General M. ID. Flower,
Colonel Peak and Colonel A. Schaeffer.
These gentlemen were informed that the
directory of the Grand Army expected
q guarantee of rates, and that the mat
ter has been pending since last Decem-
ber and must be settled within the next
10 days. A member of the Western
Passenger association was present and
the entire matter was gone over with
him. He held out no encouragement
that the privileges asked for would be
granted, and st. PauPs chances took on
a very sad outlook

Davis Resolution Not Viewed
With Favor by the House
Committee.
Deemed Poor Diplomacy Con-
Sidering the Situation
at Present.
Favorable Report on the Pa
cific Cable Probable in
the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22..-The predic.
tion is freely made by members of the
house committee on foreign affairs that
ii the proposed reaffirmation of the
Monroe doctrine is adopted by the SEN
ate and sent over to the house for ac-
ton, it will be allowed to rest quietly
in the committee files. A canvass of
more than a majority Of both Republi-
can and Democratic members of the
committee failed to discover any MEM
ber who indorses it. Courtesy to their
colleagues of the senate impels the
members of the committee in the other
house to refrain from putting them
selves ON record in interviews as OPP
posed to the resolution, but in conversa-
ton they do not hesitate to criticise
the verbiage of it and to deprecate
the policy which brings it forward at
this particular time. One of the fore
most authorities on diplomatic matters
in the house said he deemed it very
poor diplomacy to take any steps tend
ing to increase the tension between this
government and Great Britain in what
practically amounted to crisis.
The committee members think it will
be better policy to sidetrack the resolu-
ton without any demonstration of dis
approval than to make an adverse re-
port upon it to the house.

About 70 bills were passed, clearing the
calendar of much accumulation and
leaving only the important measures

The Cuban question received brief
and inconclusive attention early in the
day. Senator Call of Florida read q
telegram alleging that several Ameri.
cans had been arrested on the island
and offered resolution directing the
executive authorities to ascertain if
any just cause for the arrest existed,
and if not, to demand their immediate
release. There was considerable talk
back and forth about immediate action.
but the resolution went to the foreign

Ewing, ex-member of congress from

General Ewing's death was the result
of injuries received accidentally Mon
day. He had left his home intending
to go down town by the elevated road.
As he reached Third avenue, a cable
car passed and he stepped directly be-
hind it, not noticing that one from the
opposite direction was right upon him.
The corner of the car struck him and
threw him back several yards. He
landed on his head. The general was
carried to his home, and was not
thought at the time to be very seriously
hurt.
