Cost of AsnhaIt Paving.

The September number of City Govern
ment, monthly magazine published in
New York city, contains some figures in
respect TO asphalt paving which indicate
that we paid a pretty big price for our
asphalt pavements. In Saginaw, Mich,
there was competition between the Barber
company and the Alcatraz company for
"a considerable amount of paving. The
Barber company got the contract at $1.19
per square yard. The asphalt used was
from Trinidad Lake. The editor of City
Government in commenting on this con-
tract, says: ut is in cities like Saginaw,
where the officials have broken away from
the monopolstic specifications, that the
property owners win secure the benefit of
free and open competition" If a company
having a reputation to sustain will put
down first-class asphalt pavement for
S1.19 per square yard, there must have
been a vast amount of money made by
asphalt paving companies at the prices
they have been receiving.
No one viii question the statement that
only hrst-class asphalt pavements are put
down in Washington, d. C. Yet, by act
of congress the maximum price for as
phalt paving in that city is $3.50 per square
yard. The new tariff law places a duty
of So a ton on refined asphalt and $1.50
on crude asphalt After the enactment of
that law Washington received an offer
from the asphalt trust to do paving at
$3.50 per square yard. 1t would pay our
city authorities to look into this asphalt
paving business pretty closely when they
have any more asphalt paving to do.

Cen Blanco. who is slated TO succeed
Weyler in Cuba, is said by a well-informed
contemporary to be "a very mild sort of
warrior, for a Spaniard; a man much more
inclined to victories of the pen than of
the garrote." If ne can beat Weyler with
the pen, or rather with the typewriter he
will have TO get up very early in the
morning.

Ever since the Hon. John Wanamaker
was in the postohice department the gov
eminent has been making experiments in
rural free delivery of mails. 1t is nov con-
Quoting the experiments upon a scale
larger than ever and ii is likely that the
free delivery of mail in the country will
become a fixture in some sections. But
the system cannot at once be established
throughout the country. for the reason
that the cost would be very great It has
been estimated that it would require up
wards of 100000 per year to put the
system into effect In all Of the states.
1t seems, however, that this figure might
be considerably shaded by the abolition
of some of the smaller Offices and short
routes in the more thickly populated
states. Letter carriers from the larger
towns could serve the patrons of the
smaller ofAces. and the expense of keep
ing up the small office and the mail rider
could be thus done away with. In the
southern section. there could be no con-
siderable abolishing Of small offices and
imposing the duties of them upon the let
ter carriers. The offices are now few and
far between. The fact that they are so,
by the way. is an argument in favor of
extending the system in the south at the
very earliest practicable moment. In
great many instances it costs the southern
farmer full day services of a hand and
a horse to send to the village postoffice
for the mail, and in many other instances
a halliday is lost in going or sending for
the mail When the great number of
these whole days and half-days that are
lost in the run of year in going for the
mail is taken into consideration, 1t can be
seen how much the lack of free rural de-
livery costs the farming element, and
how much would be saved by the instltu-
ton of the system.
one consideration which holds back the
free delivery in the country is the lack
Of good roads. With good country high
ways the cost of transporting mails
would be greatly decreased. 4 smart boy
on a bicycle could take fifteen or twenty
pounds of mail matter, and cover ten TO
fifteen miles of road per day delivering
and collecting letters and parcels. There
are almost innumerable advantages to be
had from and through good roads.

The Augusta Chronicle has little objec-
ton to filthy luqe;" it is willing to abide
the filth, just so II gets the lucre. 1t says:
THE Savannah News complains of the
paying out of dirty and disreputable-look-
ing paper money We prefer it new and
clean, but most persons are not particu-
lar about its appearance, so they get it."
There is no good reason why the people of
this country should not be provided with
clean and respectabie-looking paper mon
ey, as the people of England are. The very
reason why dirty and foul smelling bills
are in circulation is that this spirit of,
anything so it is money" has obtained
for 50 long time. The American people
deserve the very best of everything, and
disreputable, bad-smelling, germ-laden
paper money is not the best that could
be had If the people would demand some
thing better.
