RESuRFACE ALL
ASPHALT PAVING
THAT rs CITY ENGINEERS SoLU.
TION OF PROBLEM.
Andrew Rinker Believes Creosoted
! Wooden Block Is the Most Satisfac-
tory Pavement for Minneapolis, but
It's Adoption Would Entail Many
Tremendous Engineering Problems.

1.-THE city engineer and his assistants
have been Represented as making some
ridiculous and contradictory statements
relative to the paving problem In Min
neapolis by morning paper in the past
week, - said City Engineer Andrew
Rinker today. d" I am not an advocate
ct asphalt paving for Minneapolis, nor
does this department advocate the es-
adjustment Of municipal asphalt
plant. ..<za. esZ5>:,ss. -.
% Under the present circumstances. I
believe that the most practicable So
luton Of the problem is to resurface the
entire asphalt paving -. in this city,
amounting to about. 1000 SQUARE
yards, provided satisfactory arrange
1nents can be made The 1ncst salts
factory method in my opinion will be
to have some reliable asphalt, company
agree to resurface the streets, giving
q bond to keep them IN repair for a
term Of ten years., to place the streets
. the guaranty perioN and toareceive its
pay in five annual finstalments as the
assessments are co1lected.M &c
'tThis, of course, is big proposition
| as the contracting company will have
| an outlay Of upwards Of $4,000, fol
which it must wait five years. 1t wal
by a similar plan that Park avenue

entirely satisfactory. +. s::'>s =

After hearing the case, the court

of doubt as to the intent to kill, and
owing to the boys age, found him
guilty of assault in the third degree

The boy was perfectly cool as, facing
the crowd of spectators, all of whom
craned their necks to watch the youth
after receiving the pistol from District

the weapon was held when the fata1
shot was fired.
The parents Of the Doran girl were

 IL prevented, however, the delivery of his principal speech in the open air before the Seminole club as it was thought the wind would make it i'm possible for his voice to reach the as senbled crowds. The speech was de- livered at the board of trade auditor ium, where it was listened to with great interest and frequent applause.
