r1.NkATo,s STREET PAVING,


Redwing is agitating the question
Of paved streets and points to Man
kato's asphalt pavement as an exam
pie. The Redwing Republican says
that Mankato seems to have solved the
question how small city can pave its
resident streets with asphalt without
making the cost beyond an amount
which residents may reasonably
afford. The experience of that city
and theeresult of the first experiment
are worth consideration by Red Wing
people as the time is near when to be
up to date neatly paved streets will
replace macadam as surely as cement
walks are replacing the old board
affairs and be considered as much of
8 necessity
''Msnksto decided that though wide
streets are needed for appearance.
their beauty is enhanced and the
roadway is serviceable for all ordinary
purposes by cutting it down to a
width of thirty feet and putting the
rest into neat boulevsrds. In this
manner the cost of asphalt is made
very reasonable and permanent i'm
provement made This system natural
ly could not be used in the business sec
ton of the city, but its manifest
utility and economy makes it worthy
of trial in the more important resi-
dence portions.
Probably there would be some OPP
position here to making a narrow
driveway. There was in Mankato.
The argument was made that an en-
terprising, prosperous city like Man
kato must, of course, have broad
streets. paved to generous width of
fifty feet was argued as the inside
limit.
Mankato is coming in for a great
deals of nice advertising on account OF
her fine paved street. This city has
set the pace for other towns in the
srate in the matter of paving.

Here's another example of the re-

Down in an Iowa town one class was
enjoying a supper and grang of
rowdies from another class procured a
skunk and threw it into the dining
room where the feast was in progress.
Naturally row ensued and rough
house was kept up until the police
suppressed the riot. is it not dis
grace to any educational institution to
have such thing occur2 The rowdies
should be confined in Jail until they
have reflected long upon their own
disorderly actions.

EXCELLENT OFFICIAL.

State Labor Commissioner O'Don-
nell is one of the best officials that
ever graced the position. He has
gathered more. interesting and at the
same time valuable statistics than any
of his predecessors and the public has
become more and more enlightened
upon the work of that important Office
than it ever did before. 1t is to be
hoped that Governor Van SAINT will re-
tain Mr.. O'Donnell at the head of the
labor bureau.
