TWO
Defects in Ce-
ment Streets.
These Are Easily to
be Avoided.
COST IS LESS
Than Brick Streets
We're Now Laying
And Properly Laid Have More
Points in Their Favor.

AS our city is doing large amount
of brick street paving, at present this
subject may may be of general in
terest to your readers Bellefontaine
is pioneer in cement street paving
and inquiries have been sent here from
cities all over the United States con-
cerning 1t, so let Us briefly consider
without prejudice the defects and
merits of this kind of street paving.
Some of our citizens have been very
emphatic in their .denunciation of ce-
ment streets. but only two defects can
be charged to it, and that is .'too slip
perry and wears in ruts. These de-
fects are not an inherent quality of a
cement pavement but are faults in con-
struction. The maker of this pave
ment did not have the advantage of
experience to aid him in his work. and
all essential details in construction
could not be foreseen- Like all leaders
in new things the maker had an ava
lanche of objections thrust upon him,
dlt INC pAAAOApaA OAAC Woo lAat ~ MOuAu
''go to pieces in year or two" As q
result he made q pavement that will
withstand constant use for so or more
years, but he lost sight of the fact that
1t must be made rough enough fol
horses to get good foothold. These
defects can easily be avoided by diff
ferent method of construction and arr
therefore valid only against this pave
ment which we have, but not sgains
cement street pavements in general.
Now as to Its merits First. it il
the most durable pavement that cal
be made. Second, its sanitation i
perfect. Third, it can be made for les
cost than brick pavement wherever tn
components for cement concrete an,
cement mortar are abundant and cheap
Fourth, .-the pavement is not near 8
noisy as brick. A cement psvemen
properly made will have every goo
quality that the best brick pavemen
has and viii also have some additions
advantages that the brick pavemen
has not s. 4. Buchanan.

The annual picnic of the Sunday
school of the First Methodist Episco-
pal church held Wednesday at Silver
Lake park was attended by some SOC
members of the school and the day
proved most enjoyable one there be-
ing no incident to mar or hinder the
pleasures save a slight shower which
fell late In the afternoon. The merry
go-round was secured for the day and
all who desired enjoyed free rides when
ever they wished. Bathing, boating,
bowling and ball playing were other
features. Mr.. Win Spittle watched
over the bathing pools to see that the
younger children did not get into water
where there would be danger of their
drowning. In five inning ball game
between the classes of w. w. Fisher
and Rollo G. Pifer the latter class won
by a score of ~ to IS. In the second
inning of the contest Lew Marquis,
who was catching for the Fisher team,
sustained AN injury to his right hand
that made it necessary for him to retire
from the game.

The reading public notices more to-
day than ever before the fairness with
which the newspapers deal with polit-
icaI questions and political opponents.
Time was when the staid old party
ssorgzn" defended candidates and prin-
ciples adopted by their particular par
ty whether the man was worthy Of the
least consideration or whether the prin-
ciple had ought to recommend it to
thinking voters This old-fashioned
organ is well nigh extinct The jour
mails Of today in large cities as well as
small ones admit the fact if blot has
been made on the party record or If
any Of the candidates come short of the
mark Doubtful policies of their par
ty are fairly discussed and if found to
be along the wrong line a correction
is suggested Tue Chicago Tribune
remarks that the political speakers
may take lesson from the course OF
the spress and change the manner in
which they crate which at present Is
identically the same as that of forty
years ago, refusing to grant that theil
party ever was or ever could be wrong
and denying any defect in their prin-
ciples or policies. The political spell
binders repel with scorn the suggestion
that anything good can come out of the
opposition Nazareth. Before people
win again listen with pleasure to or bt
convinced by political oratory it viii
have to undergo change similar tt
