There are few questions affecting city
Of greater Importance than that OF paw
ing No matter how large the city may
be, it still remains in a village state until
dirt roads are succeeded by paved streets.
In recent visit to the city OF Grand
Rapids, Mich, the writer was struck by
the cleanliness of the streets and at nrst
looked for the cause in some improved
method Of cleaning. A large portion OF
the streets of the city were traversed
and the reason for the cleanliness was
apparent when it was discovered that the
residence portion Of the city was very
generally paved. Recognizing that the first
cost Of paving is large and consequently
deters many residents from desiring the
same an investigation was commenced re-
igarding the narrowest roadway upon resi-
idence streets that would accommodate

The Most Popular Book.

If a vote could be taken it is pretty GER
tain that the first place in value and popu-
larity would be given to- the great Ency-
clopedia Britannica. That 1t is valuable
work every one knows. and there are also
many reasons why 1t is a distinctly popu-
lar one One reason is because it is the
cheapest complete library in the world,
since it takes the place of thousands of
other books which would cost a fortune.
It is also a most interesting work because.
it is written in fascinating, readable style
by men who know best how to treat each
special subject. 1t is Instructive Also be-
cause it is a Veritable mine of informa ton
In every department OF knowledge. It is
not a work for men alone or the learned,
but for the man of moderate means with a
family to educate. or who is anxious to
supply defects in his own early education.
Among such as these the work has al
ways beer extremely popular. From an
educational point OF view it is almost a
duty to possess 1t, especially as 1t can be
had in the now extremely easy way offered
through the American Newspaper Asso-
citation, and Journal readers should cut

Objections Answered.

The only objections ever heard are:
First-That the twenty four foot road
way will not accommodate it's traffic.
This idea is entirely wrong. The dis
lance between the curb and the street
car rail of Hennepin avenue is approx
rnately twenty-four feet. Any one watch
ing the traffic on the street and seeing the
great number of teams passing between
the curb and rail will be convinced that
that space is ample to accommodate the
traffic upon the ordinary residence street.
The old county road the north shore of
Lake Calhoun has roadway from twenty
to twenty-five feet wide, which, as Is
we'll known, is a great thorofare. Over 1t
pass many large and heavily loaded teams,
yet no complaint has ever been heard that
this thorofare is too narrow to accom-
modate the great traffic upon it. First
avenue south, between the trolley pole
and the curb is but twenty-five feet, vet
this width is ample for two teams besides
the street car.
The second objection is that teams can
not turn around upon twenty -four foot
streets. This also is an error as any We
hicle in the city mounted upon platform
springs, or any ordinary express wagon
can easily be turned on a twenty -four
foot roadway. There may be an occa-
sional wagon difficult to turn in this
dred or two hundred feet further and
turn at the street intersection?

the auditor to show cause why he refused
