CHRONIC POSTAL GARD.

The indictments in the recent postal
scandal have brought again to public no.

which has been suffered by the postal
department Tor years at the hands Of
some of the railroads. These enormous
money losses Of Uncle Sans are wen

These losses are said to be almost as
great as the annual deficit OF the depart
ment. and have been going on year after
year. almost sanctioned b. custom, thai;

fraud Is pe-petrated IS as follows: The
government. at certain intervals. weighs
the bulk mali which railroad carries.
and bases 4 new contract on this weight.
Just before weighing time c0me sarouud
some railway officials cause tons OF mail

PAVING or STREETS.
! In conclusion Supt. Cooper refers to
paving Honolulu streets with some
substantial material which he considers
to be a necessity. THE present ma
cadamized roads do not stand the heavy
traffic" says Mr. Cooper. "This matter
has received the careful consideration
of the engineers of the department, and
the Supervisor of Honolulu, and / be-
lieve 1t to be the consensus OF opin-
tical men of the town, that the water
front streets should be paved with
stone blocks, set upon a concrete foun-
dation, with sand cushion. / believe
1t would be folly to lay these blocks
unless in the most approved and sub
stantial manner. Bituminous rocks i
believe to be a very suitable material
for streets having less of the heavy
wear and tear, for, constructed in a
substantial manner, it makes a very
durable and sanitary pavement. think
this item is one OF the most impor-
tant asked for. for the city of Ho-
