CLEVELAND, THE CITY OF BRICk
some Paving Facts of Interest to All
Taxpayers.
p. G.. REED,
superintendent.

Probably there is no other city in
the United States with as large a per-
centage of brick streets as Cleveland,
Ohio OF a total of ESQ miles of paved
streets, 165 miles are of brick. Ofthe
balance a large proportion are of sim
pie stone construction or macadam.
while a small percentage are of as
phalt.
During last year there were laid
twenty-seven miles of pavements in
Cleveland, twenty-five miles being of
brick, several miles of macadam and
the balance of asphalt. During the
current year the board of public serv-
ice contemplates the laying of pave
ments on portions of upward of 100
streets. Fully ninety per cent will be
of brick and the balance of macadam.
Not only are the business streets
where heavy and continual traffic
prevail, paved with brick, but also the
residential thoroughfares and ave-
nues. Little fault is found on ac-
count of the increased noise. for the
residents believe that while at a dis
advantage in that respect, brick pave
ments are a blessing in another way
for the streets con be kept clean and
free of the fine granulating dust which
Sits into the homes and ruins every
thing it rests upon.
Cleveland's method of laying its
brick streets is not essentially differ
ent to that in vogue in other cities.
The only difference in the material is
that a five-inch brick is used, being
somewhat larger than the regulation.
A three-year guarantee is demanded
of each contractor. The city engineers
declare that If a pavement is of poor
quality or laid wrong the defect will
show itself in that time and can be
remedied under the guarantee.
Something like 25,000,000 paving
brick are used in Cleveland each sea-
son. SO that it can be seen to what ex-
tent the city believes in its value as
paving material. This brick is all
brought from manufactures in, or
very near Cleveland.
The water flushing system is used
to keep the brick streets clean, and
this fact, perhaps, is responsible for
the favor in which brick as a paving
material stands today. Each night
or several times a week. the fushers
go over the pavements, cleansing them
as thoroughly of dust as the marble
floor of an office building is cleansed
between nightfall and dawn by band
of scrubwomen. AS consequence
that fine dust which stings the eyes
and irritatsf the throat is absent from
ClevelandU streets, though it is not
otherwise an overclean city, due 10
the smoke OF the giant industries To-
Gated within it's boundaries.
All pavements laid under the present
specifications call for the use of a con-
crete base and cement-asphalt filler.
Stone curbing is used. though cement
curbs are being experimental with.
Brick streets in Cleveland are not
confined to the downtown section;
they are all over the city. Care has
been taken particularly to have all
thoroughfares acting as arteries to the
city paved to the limits. Here the
county commission has taken up the
work and extended the brick roads
many miles out into the country.

The principals report a heavy addi-
tional enrolment since the beginning
| Of the new year, especially in the
| seventh and eighth grades, the mum.
Der in the eighth grade at the present
time being 1853.
Several of the buildings are at the
present time overcrowded. and several
teachers have so much work to dc
that It is impossible to do justice eth
err to themselves or to their pupils
This is the condition at all the large
buildings, Central. Columbia, Barge
and Summitview. At Summitview 1t is
| necessary to use the office. as it is al
so at the Barge At the latter build
ing several teachers have upward of
fifty pupils enrolled, and the same is
true at the Central. This is an un-
fortunate condition and should be
remedied as speedily as possible. II
other rooms cannot be secured. sug-
gest that the teachers either be given
assistants or be paid an additional
amount proportional to the extra work
required of them.
Permit me at this time to mention
the recommendation of the state office
in regard to the compulsory education

all children between the ages of eight
and fifteen, and makes it incumbent
upon the school board to appoint
truant officer whose duty it shall be
to see that this law is complied with.
I suggest that this recommendation be
carried out as safeguard to the
children of the state.
The fire of the 9Th inst, which de-
stroyed the Lincoln building. the high
school and grade library. the science
laboratories. the supplies and general
equipment. has crippled the district as
to its school accommodations The
primary grade has been cared for at
the Barge building, and the high
school pupils. with the loss of but one
day. have commenced work in the
buildings ST the Methodist. Christian
and Presbyterian denominations. The
generosity of these and of the other
Christian denominations of the city
as well as of the directors or the
Fruitvale district. in so freely offer
ing us in time OF need what accom-
mediation they had at their command
is evidence of the fact that the COM
munity as a whole has proper APP
probation of the vaue of higher edu-
cation. In this same connection l de-
sire to commend Mrs. Hawks, principal
of the Barge building, for so kindly
Offering the use OF her office.
The high school teachers and pupils
have taken up their duties in their
temporary quarters with an earnest
ness and enthusiasm which Is deserv-
ing OF the highest praise. The new
laboratory supplies will be here In
few days. and practically no time will
be lost because of the calamity.
At the teachers institute which con-
vened here some weeks ago a large
number OF Yakima teachers and the
pupils of all the large buildings took
a prominent part, with much credit to
themselves and to the schools. The
music furnished by the schools under
the direction of the supervisor and of
the regular teachers was greatly en-

A GALA DAY IN OCTOBER.

If the laying of the corner stone
and the dedication of the Agri-|
cultural College of the Third
Georgia District is to be made an
event worthy of the occasion steps
must begin at once toward secur-
ing reduced railroad rates and the
preparation of a suitable program.
As will be remembered, the idea
of a special celebration of the lay
ing OF the corner stone in the
spring was abandoned and it was
decided to lay the corner stone
and dedicate the buildings at the
same time in the fall, when the
farmers of the District would have
more leisure time to attend.
The general opinion seems to be
that the dual celebration should
be held early in October. At that
time the farming element of the
Third District will be in position
to enjoy holiday and unite in
making the day a gala occasion
worthy of the institution which
will then be ready for their in
spection.
Tifs city, the county and the
Boardof Trade are to work in
union ii the arrangements for the
day. Zen weeks pass around
quickly and it is none too soon
now to begin planning for the
holiday. The railroads should be
appealed to to give special rate
for the occasion from all parts Of
the District, if not of the State.
speakers should be secured, the
necessary funds provided, and
such provisions made for the
occasion that it cannot fail to be
grand success.

responsibilities of Governor Smith
will be somewhat lessened, and il
is quite probable that his attend

the occasion. If possible thu
