AS one walks about the city he can
not help but be reminded of that fac>
that all cross-walks should be con
structed of stone. They are certainly
cheaper to the city in the long run
for they do away with all the repair
ing that is necessarily made from time
to time on wooden walks and are al
ways in q safe condition. Many O.
our smaller cities are substituting
more substantial cross-walks for th<
old wooden affairs, and their move
ment NAV we'll be cObied in this CITY
