-Apropos to the discussion of the laying
of brick pavement on Broad street, Sur.
veyOr Carrier states that at the widest point
in the street, the cost of brick, over and
above the cost of Mscsdam, will be about
ST so per running foot; one-third of the
additional expense will be born by the city
aud two thirds by the property owner. II
is probable that property owners will be
asked to sign petitions to Council asking
for this improvement, hence individual
property owners should be considering the
matter, so as to act intelligently. We
doubt if there is single property on Broad
street that would not be enhanced 10 value
to much greater amount than the cost Of
this improvement w. Harrison Liver
more has just returned from a business
trip to Ohio where most towns have this
pavement, and is enthusiastic over the
prospect of securing the improvement here
in this form. He says that every con
siderati0n that enters into road improve
ment is met by brick psvemen's.
