CONDUIT.

be a conduit placed entirely, or in
part, under one Of the sidewalks.
A conduit in the center of the street
has insuperable objections from the
imperative necessity Of manholes and
the weakening of the street founda-
ton by tunneling from either side to
reach it.
There should be q cross-over conduit
beneath the street at fixed Intervals
varying according to necessity, more
or less, but based, If practicable, on
a standard of 400 feet. These cross
conduits would be inexpensive, as is
| later shown. Through these cross con-
Quits. abutters situated on the opposite
side of the street from the main con-
duit could make connections with the
main line of utilities. A small area
of the adjacent sidewalk space couic
be appropriated, and by joint usage

rarely maintained at street level.
STRIKING ILLUSTRATION OF
STREET DESTRUCTION.
a number of years ago, fremont
street, in the city of Boston, was en-
tirely rebuilt and appeared finished and
good for a half century's traffic. Old
paving was removed and the earth was
settled and leveled to a perfect grade.
Next came a layer of creosoted three
inch plank. laid diagonally across the
entire street, then came a thin layer
of coarse sand and tar, over this a
reverse diagonal layer of three-inch
creosoted plank, then another thin layer
| of coarse sand and tar and finally came
LAYER of well-eut, hard granite blocks,
the interstiees between them being fill
ed with fine gravel and asphaltum. 1t
was a perfect street for constant and
/ heavy traffic. The street constructors
had barely reached the emu of fremont
street, at Seholly square, when the
electric light people came along and
] under the terms of their franchise, be-
gan pulling up a strip of the paving
upwards of thirty inches wide, the
whole downtown length of fremont
street, and they further cat through
the six inches of plankiDg and dug
| a. trench in the earth, in which they
placed a continuous line of terra Gotta
blocks, pierced with many longitudinal
| holes, each block being eemented t'
its neiphbor so as to form a continu
GUS conduit of small diameter hole
for electric wires or cables. The cleo
trio company nominally repaired tn
street. 1t goes without saying the.
did a repair job that permanently In
iured the street. The process of de
struction of streets goes merrily on L
nearly every American city.
HONOLULU STREETS.
1t is not necessary to describe then

AS TO WIDENING STREETS.
Thompson Street Should be Made
Straight-Widening Committees
Making Progress Slowly.

In regard to widening the streets
it seems that not much PROGRESS has
been made. There is one street to
which The Herald and News desires
to call attention and that is Thomp-
son street. Mr.. Sonnenberg and Mr.,
j. G. Brown, who are building on
the east side Of this street, have set
back about six feet. On the other
side it was understood from the synd-
icate which had bought the old laun-
dry lot, that it would be set back, burt
the corner has been purchased by Mr..
Whitaker and Mrs. Schumpert and
the foundation is being made for a
building. 1t seems from the founda-
tion that is laid off that these parties
have set back on the PraN street
corner but on the rear end of their
lot they have not set back. 1t would
be great pity for this building to
go up with the rear corner of it pro-
jecting in the street, and if it is pos
sible for city council or any one else
to get Mr.. Whitaker and Mrs.
Schumpert to straighten their line
on the Thompson street side, now is
the time to do it. This street running
in rear of the new court house, it is
very important that it should be wild
encd il it is possible to have il done.
Alderman Baxter made another sug-
"cStion rs to this street, which should
have attention. and that is that where
il crosses Pratt street it should be
Strengthened up to the graded school
lot. In other words, where Thnmp-
son street crosses Pratt street il should
be made straight. and it seems that
the people. VIII" have bought the lots
Just across from Pratt street. might
be willing In exchange the old street.
which is about thirty or forty yards
west, for land directly in front 80 as
to StraiGhicn the street.
This street is to be opened all the
way 10 the college and will be a very
important street. and at present
there are no buildings on the lots
from the graded school down tn Pratt
street. which will prevent this street
being Strai"htcncd. and ii woulh add
very much to this street to have it
strai i@htencd.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS.
The Civic Association Wants to Help
the City and Asks Cooperation
Of Council.

The Civic Association have asked
city courcil to do three things, all
three of which should be done.
First, that the opera house on the
inside be calcimined and repainted
before commoncement. Any one who
has been in The opera house recently
Will ut once appreciate tho impor-
tance of this suggestion
Second, to provide by ordinance
That certain days be set apart for
tho garbage carts to collect garbage
III each ward, and that the residents
OF tho wards be required to place
trash and garbage from their premis-
es i'll box or barrel conveniently on
the side walk or street, so that it
might be gathered up by the carts.
With the present cart facilities it
will be impossible for the carts to 20
over each yard eaca day, as there
are some twenty-cight miles of streets
in the city, but by having certain
days for each ward, 10 would be a
very easy matter for the residents
OF the wards to have their trash bask-
cts conveniently set for the carts on
the days set apart for those wards.
Third, that Civic Association asks
for The first week in June to be set
apart by the mayor to be known as
cleaning up week for the city. Any
one who will keep his eyes open and
look on our streets any day and any
time OF the day will see the necessity
not only for Il cleaning up week, but
Tor cleaning cup weeks. If this were
done and then the ordinance against
throwing trash on the streets were en-
forced and observed by The citizens
generally, the appearance Of the city
w"nld, be greatly improved.

CLEANING UP WEEK.
A Good Suggestion From q Member
of Civic Observation-Disclosures to
Mayor Brown and Council.

Through the influence of the Amer.
lean Civic Association great man,
cities in the United States have Il re.
gular spring cleaning on day sci
by the mayor, when streets, alleys
back yards, and sidewalks are clean.
ed, together with any other thing of
the kind that needs it. Denver, 4
few years ago, at the call of Mayo,
Sheer, thoroughly cleaned all its
downtown streets and alleys, painted
all poles used in it's fire and police
systems, placed new aud improved
refuse cans at street crossings, and
private citizens looked after their
own property and neighborhood to
the great Improvement in health ord
erllncss and taste. Mayor Dunno of
Chicago selected May 7, and called up
on all householders to gather up tin
cans and other rubbish to be taken
up by garbage collectors; school chill
dren were enlisted in the work; house
holders were reminded of the city re-
gulations concerning the disposal of
waste. Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo,
New Orleans, and many other cities
have followed the example of Chica-
go and Denver.
In our onw state the Moyar of
Anderson at the request of the
Civic Association of that town set the
first week in May for clearing up
week. Why can't Newbcrry t,llow
Anderson lead and take the first
week III june as "Clcanin" I'D
wrrk!' The commencement season
Will begin very shortly thereafter,
and certainly all ow citizens have
town pride enough to have the most
pleasant impressions possible made
upon the visitors who are here at that
time. Let each person who reads
this take Il look at his own premises,
and see II any extra work Of cleaning
would make any improvements How
about the sidewalk in front of your
residence? Is ii entirely free from
rubbish? To go step farther, how
about the bitches along side the
streets? Have you noticed the album
dance Of tin cans in these bitches,
directly in front Of houses, and did
You ever think how came them there 4?
Would not the first week in June be
good time to give these bitches a
good cleaning, 10Th down town and
about our resideuces9 Then the health
officer in hi, rounds could take note
Of any fresh supply being dumped
into the street. and could report the
same to e uncil as violation of a
town ordnance.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Pleasantly Passed In Newberry-Old
Veterans Greatly Enjoy Dinner
by Daughters.

| Memorial Day was observed il
Newberry last Friday. 1t was one OF
the most delightful and successful
celebrations that has ever been helc
in Ncwbcrry. The Conferedate vet
Grams were here in large numbers anu
every one spoke of the delightful en.
tcrtainmcnt and courteous treatmen,
| which he had received. They were
especially pleased with the elegant
dinner, which was served in the court
house by the Daughters Of the Con
fcdcracy. This dinner consisted of
barbecued hash, pork aud mutton, to-
ycther with coffee aud ice cream and
cake, and the beauty about it was
that each Conferedate veteran was
given Il seat ut table and served BY
the young ladies' themselves, and could
thus eat his dinner so as to enjoy it.
There were about 250 plates spread
and all Of them had an abundance.
When the dinner was concluded
Mr.. Harrison Cromcr. of No. IL
township was called OIL and told some
war "reminiscences and also expressed
the appreciation Of the veterans for
the kindly treatment. which they had
received at the hands of the Dau"h-
tcrS.
Another feature Of the dinner was
the presentation to Mr.. w. II. Slaw-
Aon. Of Prosperity, Of large cake.
