its great losses. Some time ago a long
delay in the building took place because

then there was a strike or something
of the kind at the quarries IN Bed

material of one kind or another COM
ing in now that should go into the

state capitol be cleared out before III

the laity joining the Elks, which is re-

The Elizabeth Board of Aldermen

telford pavements in that city. The
action has caused little discussion
between the press there, the Journal
maintaining that telford, which is the
same as macadam, is better than
nothing on street, and is very salts
factory on thoroughfare, purely resi-
Dental where there is comparatively
little travel.
The Times contends that telford
pavement is of no earthly use in city
and that it is only adding to the city g
expense. Neither paper states any
facts to back up its beliefs.
Since Alderman Runyon has sug-
gested that all our residential streets

or macadam, the discussion in Eliza
beth is of particular interest here, but
thus far little light has been shed on
the subject. Until more conclusive
evidence against telford pavement is
produogs wsnFe inclined to believe
that-A6ur residential streets, paved
with Selford, would be great i'm
provement over their present condi-
tion. OF course they would need
attention and more repairs than the
mere dumping of load of crushed
stones in the holes in the spring OF
thu year. In Elizabeth every telford
pavement is sprinkled daily by the
city, the expense being charged to the
street repair account, the aldermen
holding that little money spent in
sprinkling telford saves great deal
