PAVING BRIGHAM STREET.

IRON THE REPORT of the councils
L street committee, submitted at
Monday nights meeting of the city's
lawmakers. il is apparent that the
paving of Brigham street. from State
street to Tenth East street, will be
postponed for an indefinite period. The
Herald is extremely sorry that this
work is not to be carried out, as was
planned, early in the spring of next
year.
Brigham street is one of the show
streets of the city. It contains large
proportion of the handsomest residences
in Salt Lake, some of them being as
handsome as the most elegant homes in
the largest cities of the country. Prac-
tically every visitor to Salt Lake is
either driven out Brigham street or
rides along that broad avenue on a
street car. Yet in the winter and
spring Brigham street from end to end
is as muddy as any country road.
The Herald is we'll aware of the fact
that IL costs considerable money to
pave a wide street with asphalt or any
other suitable material. This objection
is answered, however, by the fact that
a goodly majority OF the individuals
who own property on Brigham street
are persons of more than average
wealth. There is hardly one of them
who cannot afford to pay his just pro-
portion of the expense.
In further opposition to the improve
ment it is argued that the condition of
the city treasury is not at present such
as would warrant the heavy expendi-
ture which would be necessitated by
the paving of the street intersections.
In answer to this, The Herald would
say that the property owners can well
afford, if need be, to assess themselves
a sufficient amount to cover this out
lay. The improvement in the value of
their holdings would more than COM
pensate them for the expense.
Another plan would be for several of
the weather. residents along Brigham
street to advance the money to the city
without interest and let it be paid back
on easy terms. The result would be as
handsome a boulevard as any city can
boast. Brigham street, with its noble
shade trees, its magnificent homes and
its natural beauties, should be a show
street in fact as well as in name. This
it can never be SO long as it is all but
impossible during several months of
every year.

HANDSOME CHRISTMAS PAPERS

! THE CHRISTMAS EDITION of the
Deseret News is a souvenir news
paper of which not only the News but
every Utah citizen may feel proud. The
Herald has rarely seen a more elab-
crate production from any newspaper
Office. All of the Illustrations are real
works of art; more than that, they are
timely. for they illustrate in one way
and another the states progress in
every line of successful achievement.
The matter accompanying the illustra-
tons shows painstaking and accurate
work From beginning to end the
Christmas News is lively, interesting
and readable, advertisements and all.
Another Christmas edition which IS
entitled to more than passing mention
is that put out by the ogden Standard.
In point of size it is the biggest news
paper the Standard has ever published,
forty-four pages in all, and when it is
said that the paper is as attractive as
it is bulky, a higher compliment could
hardly be paid. The Christmas Stand
ard is profusely illustrated with pic
lures of Ogden's industries and with
views and scenes and portraits of spe-
cial interest to its wide circle of read
ers. The Herald congratulates the
Standard for its exhibition of enterprise
and we feel that the thriving Junction
City is entitled also to congratulations
upon having so progressive a news
paper.
On Sunday next the New Year edition
of The Herald viii be given to the pub
lie. Our contemporaries have set a
high standard of excellence, but we
shall endeavor to surpass them.
