ALLEY IMPROVEMENTS.

Joy over the fact that the general
council intends to do something for
us in fixing up the alleys restrains us
somewhat from criticizing the char
acter of Improvements proposed;
but in order that we may be on rec
ord when time vindicates our opin-
ion, we wish to protest that perman-
ent improvements are needed in the
alleys more than in the streets. Paw
ing is not done just ''for looks" 1t
is done as necessity on account of
constant and heavy traffic. On the
streets this is disseminated over a
wide surface. In the alleys, where
quite as much hauling is done, the
wheels follow each others tracks and
wear ruts and gullies. Smoothness
is not demanded for alleys, but they
should be permanently paved with
cobble stones, at least. Down town
they should be paved with vitrided
brick. If paved they may be kept
clean and sanitary. wagons will not
be stalled in them and cess pools will
not lOrm IN lhem. wagons VIII
grind ruts in graveled alleys. We
reserve our privilege of finding fault
with the board of public works, when
we think it is culpable, but we can
see, that the general council is or
dering the alleys graveled and the
board of public works is going to be
blamed for it the next time a gem
eral council is compelled to make an
appropriation for repairing these
same alleys.
