vocate of Scotland, president of the
Royal Scottish society of Arts, a

Among other things said he has
this to say of the block pavement used
so extensively:
"The top in wet weather
is soaking in filth and in dry
weather is having filth crushed
into it by the wheels with the conse-
quence that it is a continuous nest
and rapid hatchery for evil germs
which the wind blows in our faces,
forces down our threats, and into our
nostrils, and lodges in our clothing to
be carried into our dwellings. Long
before it can with reasonable economy
be replaced it will, from variation in
the quality of the blocks, become pit
ted all over with holes forming basins
for filthy water to rest in, soaking in
TO and destroying the wood and be-
coming fecund source of evil emana-
TONS"
The sanitary conditions of a road
should have our first attention, and
what this man of experience and
many titles says should be hint suf-
ficiently strong to condemn the block
pavement
Sir john is man IS years of
age, student at Edinburgh and Balse,
introduced post cards to England, in
vented device for preventing COT
lisions at sea and also military field
telegraph SO that he is evidently
man of great mental caliber as we'll as
a man of many titles and what he has
to say should carry weight with it.
Perverted opinions and hearsays of
the inexperienced should not be very
seriously considered. There are al
ways, in the event of city taking up
the pavement, apt to be some who have
"axes to grind" and arguments are
produced for the sole purpose of fin
ancial gain rather than for the best
interests of the masses. The Evening
Times. ever favoring square deal"
