Yesterday, the members OF the street
committee, together with City Engineer
Lash, inspected the pavement being
laid by F.. Is. Hoge. In front of his new
building, on the corner Of Fourth and
Hanover streets, and after considering
the matter informed him that he would
have to lay 1t according to ordinance
establishing the grades for the laying
OF pavements, which means that 1t will
have to be changed. The pavement as
II Is now laid would be very dangerous
during freezing and snowy weather, as
It Is entirely too sianting. This par
ticular corner is a very bad one at Its
best during the weather mentioned
and the pavement. unless laid accord
ing to the established grade, would not
>tend to help the thing any.
