become so common that the thousands who use

moved either by curiosity to see the thorough
fare or by some grudge against drivers Of car
riages. The result is that driving in the avenue
is attended with great annoyance at some hours,
while the finest asphalt pavement in the city is
being worn down by the wheels OF heavy
vehicles
