the statement that she and her hus-
band had created President Roose-

not give her views of statements, and
she did not want it considered as

The meeting of citizens, called Mon
day afternoon by Captain Jason w.
pose Of discussing the problem of
paving part of Main and Fifth streets
went on record as being in favor of
street Improvement, but left the mat
ter as to the kind of improvement
to be decided later. A motion to put
the meeting on record against paw
ing, proposed by John Mullis and
seconded by R. F. Cruise, was sup
ported by these two gentlemen and
G. G. Gilmore. Nearly all the other
property-owners in the meeting vot-
ed against this motion. few ex-
pressed themselves as being in
doubt.
About twenty citizens were at the
meeting. 1t was called to order by
Captain James, and w. T. Wells was
elected chairman. Mr.. Mullis was
appointed secretary. In explaining
the purpose of the meeting, Capt.
James said that ne believed all were
in favor of street improvement, and
municipal advancement of all kinds,
but that he, for one, wanted to see
the money spent right and wanted
to see the improvement done in the
right direction.
Chairman Wells stated that it was
the main purpose of the meeting to
ascertain its sentiment on the paw
ing question, and called for express
sions.
R. F. Cruise, the South Main black
smith, said that he thought good
drainage would do very well on that
end of the street. He said that be-
tween Walnut and Alameda streets
the property, for the most part, is
vacant lots and that the value of
said property does not justify such
expensive improvement as paving.
John Mullis, of the Pecos Valley
Lumber Company, endorsed the re-
marks of Mr.. Cruise, and added that
Ell Paso, a city of 10000 people, is
just beginning to pave. He argued
that Roswell is too small a city to
begin such expensive street improve
ment as paving.
G. G. Gilmore, who owns property
abutting on Fourth street and Pecos
avenue, objected to paving the side
streets.
Uncle" Johnnie Kingston said o.
paving: s'Do it. That's what makes
the town"
| J. s. Kirby wanted to know the
cost of paving, and how it is to bt
done If it doesn't cost too much he
| is in favor of it.
| R. F. Cruise asserted that paving
on South Main would mean co1fisca
ton of property. He stated that i

Beyond this she refused to dis

INFORMATION ON THE

PAVING QUESTION.
County Treasurer J. S. Lea is in
receipt of a letter from the city en-

MY Dear Sir:-Replying to yours
of the 5th, in reference to paving,
will say that we have mad very good
success with our macauam paving
in this town, and although we have
not had the test of time to prove it's
lasting qualities, nevertheless, l am
confident that it will prove satisfac-
tory.
There are several things that en-
ter into making macadam paving
HTSI-CldSS IldI InuSI De TlS1uIy al
hered to. First, the material must
be good; second, It must be prop
erly put down; third, it must be
very well cared for in the start, and
when all of this is done, l believe
that you will have a pavement that
will give as good service as any
thing you can possibly put on your
streets.
.Our mode of construction is to
bring the sub-grade to the proper
shape and thoroughly rolled with
roller weighing at least 10 tons Up
on the finished sub-grade, place
about four inches of large crushed
stone of size that will pass thru a
31a-inch ring. Then we sprinkle it
thoroughly and roll it thoroughly
with a ten-ton roller Then upon that
surface we spread two inches of fine
crushed stone similar to the screen
served coming from the crusher;
that is raked over the surface, then
sprinkled and rolled, practically fill
ing all voids. Then, upon that sur
face, we spread another layer of
crushed stone, broken so that it will
pass through a Pinch ring, sprinkle
and roll it again. Then upon that
surface, we spread inches more of
fine crushed stone from the quar-
ry and rake it again, sprinkle and
roll it thoroughly, thus filling the
voids of the upper layer of stone and
also leaving a smooth surface on the
street. We use the sprinkler and rol
Ter very freely on all this work.
If you intend to go into this any
further, I will be glad to furnish you
copy of our specifications and a
cross section of one of our streets
so as to show you just how the work
is done.
Trusting that this information win
be of some advantage to you, l am,
Yours very truly,

R. S. Hamilton suggested the build
Trinidad, where the sewer keeps the
mud well off the streets and where
they do not expect to pave for three
or four years. He said he was ii ia
vor of improvement of Main and
other streets, but urged the necessi-
ty of going slow and making sure to
get the right kind of Improvement
He said that the paving of Main
street was bigger proposition than
anyone supposed and that the great
est of caution would not be too
great.
R. w. Smith said that the sewer
must be large enough to take off the
mud and trash, and that if sewer
is put in, and not done by a man
WHO understands the business, it
might have to be torn UP and re-
placed when it came to paving over
it. He urged the consultation of
men who know, men who make a
business of paving. He said that the
city council does not know anything
about paving, and that probably
none of the men at the meeting
knew how it should be done. He was
willing to pave, but wanted to do it
right.
w. R. PLANT endorsed Mr. Hamil-
toms suggestions. He was in favor
of paving, but wanted it done right
with a storm sewer.
Then Chairman Wells said: 1--WE
are DEPRESSING. The questions we
want to discuss are, DO we want to
improve, and what area do we want
to improve? He suggested the for
fore the city council. He advocated
the adoption of some purpose and

This proposition was Incorporated in
a resolution offered by Capt. James.
But through a misunderstanding it
was voted down.
Mr.. Mullis made a motion against
paving, which was lost.
Mr.. Wells offered a motion that
the council be asked to handle the
matter through a committee, as be
fore suggested, and this carried
unanimously. The meeting then ad-
journed until Wednesday night, to
