It has been generally noticed tha'
the brick sidewalks of the city are be-
ginning to show much need OF repair,
II happens thar a considerable extent
OF the paving is giving out all at once.
The explanation of this is in the fact
that q large amount of the walks were
laid at about the same time. During
the latter part OF Mayor Halliday's al
ministration an arrangement was
made whereby the city assumed
material part Of the expense OF lay
ing these walks. The city wished 10
encourage replacing the old wooden
walks with brick paving and the con,
cession was freely taken advantage
of by property holders with a result
that many blocks of brick paving were
laid within a short space of time Now
the sidewalks are beginning 10 wear
out all at once and their places are
gradually being taken by permanent
or granif0id payements.
