THINKS STATE ST.
 PROGRESS SLOW Many Residents of That Section Complain of De- lay in Pushing
 Pavement. CONTRACTOR CLAIMS
 NO GREAT DELAY Max Adler, Head of Paving Commission, Says Work is Satisfactory to
 City.

Procrastination is the thief of time, and according to the residents of State street some one is guilty of grand larceny of that valuable com modity in the matter of the delayed paving of that thoroughfare. Delay, they say, appears to be the watchword of those engaged in the work, which now seems destined, despite the hopes of some, to hang fire over the winter.
 Somewhat less than four weeks ago State street was first torn up, and to- day 1t stands in an untraversable con- dition, except on ono side, from Grove street to Bishop street, a distance of eight blocks, Not only does this in terrier with wagon traffic but the street cars are frequently delayed from the necessity of using but one track for large share of that dist ance
 Only five of these blocks have been given the foundation of crushed stone and cement, except between the tracks and none of the ground has as yet re- ceived the finishing coat Warren Bros. of Boston are the contractors in charge of the paving.
 Tn spite of what seems to the ordi- nary layman a long time allowance the contractors declare that the work is being pushed as fast as practicable
 Max Adler, head of the city paving commission, when questioned in re- gard to the complaint made by State street residents In regard to the lack of progress, stated that the work can only be carried on in favorable weath- CT and the present rains since the work was begun have been hind rane. He said, however, that the pro gress made is satisfactory to the city and that 1t might be considered advis- able to call off the work when colder weather arrives.
 1 c. w. Kelly, city engineer also stat ed that there Is possibility of the work not being completed this fall, in which case the one side will be given the top coat of asphalt and the street cleared for traffic. Mir Kelly is ar authority for the declaration that that portion of the street now closed will be finished within ten days, and nc more of the thoroughfare shut of from use at any one time this is ab- solutely required from the nature oi the work.
 The finished pavement, similar te that recently laid on Broadway, Is ar improvement over asphalt, It Is claim ed, having the positive advantages ot that pavement but being more dur able and being without that slippery ness peculiar to asphalt This feature will prevent the falling of horses SC common on wet asphalt, and also tho dangerous sile-slipping of automobiles
 The surface process is secret, but 1T in appearance and composition simi' lar to the asphalt pavement
 The new rail used by the trolley company is that now adopted fol street use and in all places excep where the company has private right of way. The rail weighs ninety five pounds, ten pounds less than tha of the steam roads, and fifteen pounds mare than the lower rail available fol use on the private way
