substance were thrown out promis-
cuously today.
AS concerns the Blome pavement
with which the streets in Calumet and
Red Jacket are covered, the several
members of the committe are not
unanimous in their voicings.
Alderman Hunter says that without
doubt the towns above mentioned
are granitoid boosters, for the Blome
pavement has given very good salts

mate that his vote will favor the lat
ter class.
Alderman Knudson corroborates
the ideas of Mr.. Hunter.
Alderman Sprague is hearty in his
endorsement of the granitoid, not only
for the durability and fine appearance,
but for its cheapness as compared
with the blocks.
City Engineer Smith states that they
have brick, Blome and small piece
OF creosote pavement in Calumet but
that the people are unanimous for
Blome The grainitoid has been laid
only year. however.
Alderman Valley is for Blome and
Mayor Duis give 1t hearty endorse
ment.
