WHY THE PAVEMENT IS NOISY.
AN EXPLANATION OF THE TROUBLE OF WHICH

AN EXPLANATION OF THE TROUBLE OF WHICH
MDoNouGH-sT RESIDENTS COMPLAIN.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. am one OF the sufferers from the noisy brick
pavement on McDonough-st. Brooklyn cannot
agree with the given for the noise OF that
navement as expressed in The Tribune OF this date
7 do not believe that the season OF the year when
the pavement was laid has anything to do with tho
noisy results or that a pavement laid as that was
either In spring or winter. summer or autumn, or
ranldly or slowly would change the noisy results.
believe that brick pavement for residence
street or a street which Is subject to only ordinary
traffic II laid with ordinary judgment and honor
Is the best and most enduring OF any yet used rake
any bridge and cover II with sand and lay brick
on it, and cement them together and you VIII get
the same result OF low, penetrating rumble which
we experience on Electromagnetic.
The difficulty with this pavement. in my opinion.
is that the City Works Department allowed the
contractor to build bridge Of concrete and lay
brick upon 1t. To show that this is the fact. take
statement OF the in which the work was
done
The contractor first removed the old cobbestone.
then he excavated the roadbed down about one
foot a level from curb to curb. Then realizing
@ rue Iee hs us o 6oss IN tine
then he laid about eight inches Of inferior concrete
ne Covered it with TWO or three inches Of sand
laid his brick on this. rolled them down. covered
the whole win Hquid cement. rolled II into the
crevices and, strange TO say. we have u pavement
we cannot endure on account OF the agonlzIng
bridge-like rumble which, think. might have
expected Why?
After the cement hal set, the loose earth and
crete bridge Add to this the fact that the concrete
used while being strong enough to retain It's bridge
like shape. was composed OF such proportion Of
cement and grout as to leave the whole mass fun
OF holes and chambers. thus adding to the rumbng
tendency. .
wish lay Of o az
the proportion used in this work was about one to
49,
sand crown was formed. and after this inferior
cement was laid and before II set and had become
stone IL the contractor had put on his heavy roller
driving the cement down solidly into the earth be-
meath. thus preventing the bridge formation. we
should not now have cause for complaint.

To Taxpayers.

l do not wish to make trouble or ex-
pense for any one, but the law express
ly states that the penalty must be ad-
ded in every instance where the State
and county taxes are not paid by jan
uary 1st, and intend to follow my
instructions. The State Treasurer de-
mands the States proportion of the
taxes Immediately after the first of the
year and all who do not settle before
that date must go on the delinquent
list and pay the penalty and other
costs. This will be unpleasant for me
and expensive for you. But have no
alternative. The law is plain and ad-
mits of no exceptions. So step for
ward promptly and pay your State and
county taxes before January 1st, 1897.
By so doing you will greatly oblige
me and save yourself Inconvenience
and expense. Respectfully,
WALTER H. FISHER,
Collector, Iron County, Mo.

handsome young widow, Mrs. Ark.
staying with Mrs. Oesch, and while
she was sociable with all, she was es-

bachelors of the party, and we over
heard their plans for a farewell dance
to be given Thursday night for their
benefit. Several of the neighbors
came. in the evening. and with them a
fiddler, and the dance began, and was
kept up till some time after midnight.
Our bachelors were in nearly every
set, aud We noticed that the widow
seemed to be their favorite partner.
Doc and Al also made pretty good
hands in the quadrilles, but with other
partners. Early Friday morning we
loaded our wagons and started for
home. 1t was disagreeable day for
travelling. and to make matters worse
a wheel to one of the wagons began
losing spokes, but after Al Reppy doc
tored it awhile it stood the remainder
of the trip very well. We reached Po-
tosi that evening, spent the night at
Beams hotel, and next morning four OF
the crowd took the train for home,
while the other three came through
with the teams. We must not close
this chapter without returning thanks
to the Oesch family for their constant
and kind attention to the comfort of
our party, and especially for the fine
Thanksgiving dinner which they fur
nished. They are as clever people as
1t has ever been our pleasure to meet. :"
