Cement Sidewalks.

At n special meeting of our COM
mon council, held Tuesday evening
of this week, an ordinance (Which
will be published in next weeks
Tribune) was passed, to the effect
that all sidewalks hereafter laid or
reconstructed shall be % cement,
also the watertables in connection,
with provision that the city pays
for the watertable and two feet of
the walk, property owners to pay the
balance. The ordinance that all
walks shall be at least four feet wide
remains in force. Those who now
have six, eight or ten feet of walk
along their property are in guam
dry as to the justice OF the action
and whether there will have to be
layed more than the four feet in
width. There is this to consider: the
price of lumber has reached such
high figure that good cement walk
will surely prove cheaper in the long
run even though its original cost be
somewhat greater, still not so much
greater but what the necessary re-
pairs of a plank walk over that of
one of cement, in five years, will ex-
coed easily the difference in the
original cost, while the probabilities
ere you will then have a good walk
Instead Of one patched and uneven.
That a cement walk with cement
watertable in connection with prop
erty enhance its value as much at
least, if not more, than the extra
outlay in consequence of the new
ordinance, is beyond question. Then
there is the satisfaction OF keeping
pace with neghboring towns.

Change of County Superintendent.

With the first of the month Mr..
Alfred Kuykendall retired as super
intendent of county schools, and
with becoming grace turned over the
affairs of the office to his successor,
Mr.. r. Emery Bray. 1t is due NJ.
Kuykendall to state that he proved a
very efficient and beneficial official.
One feature of his service worthy of
special notice was his active faith
fulness in the discharge of his offici-
al duties from the time Of his defeat
for reelection last April up to the
hour of his relinquishing the office.
Such conduct is worthy Of emulation
by old office holders on the eve Of re-
tirement.
There is every reason to believe
that Mr.. Bray, the new superinten-
dent, will prove painstaking, capa-
BILE official. That he will, and that
when his time OF retirement comes
the same may be said Of him as Of
his predecessor, is the sole hope Of
the Tribune.
