About Barber Asphalt.


Editor Journal:-I nave tried TO
follow the interest taken by different
ones concerning the different pave
ments to be used on the streets of
the most beautiful city west of the
Cascades, in which l am now a ban
ished citizen. / wish to give some
of my experiences with Barber as
phalt paving. About fifteen years ago
the Barber Asphalt company put
down about three miles of their fam
Gus paving In the city of Wichita,
Kan, and in their contract they were
to make all repairs for the period of
five years after the completion and
acceptance of the same by the city
council of Wichita. which they did
believe very properly, but now let
us Sc chow the matter stands with
the city after fifteen years.
The first five years was all sun
shine as far as the public was con-
cerned, except the rather heavy bur
den of taxes TO pay off the bonds that
IL cost to put It down which / think
are not all paid yet.
But how for the state of affairs
for the last ten years since the COM
panys contract run out. The COM
pany kept one man there to guard
their property and TO make the re.
pairs, as ordered by the city engineer
or street commissioner. The first two
or three years the repairs were light
but increased rapidly and for the last
five years Il has cost good many
hundred dollars each year for re-
pairs, besides the streets were In a
deplorable condition and for weeks
at time were almost impossible
They were fine for the blacksmith and
wagon maker. but how about the
other fellow?
l am informed by one of the coun-
ell that the repairs have cost the city
nearly double the first cost of the
paving. Now they had several blocks
paved with vitrifed brick put down
16 and II years ago and they have
been to no expense at all TO keep
them up. except where the water or
gas companys would cut through
them and not leave them in proper
repairs and in that case the expense
was charged up to the company that
was at fault.
! see by my papers that get from
there that the city is preparing to go
over the entire paving again with
new and II won't be Barber asphalt
either. They are considering three

different kinds as follows: 1. Vitrified
brick for the top course with solid
rock one foot thick for the bed with
sand washed in the crevices with
water and roller pressure with a
three inch sand cushion for the brick

factory; CD rock bottom one foot
thick with granite grouting filled in
with cement. the top course a grade
finer than the lower; CD wood
blocks with all sap removed and set
on end. bedded in sand with rock bed
under the stand.
Now Mr.. Editor | do not known
what kind of pavement this city will
use, but one thing you may bet on
with a degree of safety and that is
If the city does not have a man right
on the spot watching every square
yard put down the contractor Will
slight his work to the amount of ten
to twenty-five cents on the yard
wherever an opportunity offers and
the city is the looser to that amount
and it will be several years before
you find it out.

scribed below are the first to be
snapped up when they appear in the
matrimonial market: The girl who is
her mothers right hand in household
matters, and who is not above taking
an interest in the most trivial things
In connection with household duties.
The girl who is a bright, entertaining
companion, and who has ever kind
word and pleasant smile for those
around. The girl who is always neat
ly dressed. no matter II with mex
pensive materials, and who never
dresses loudly or in questionable
taste. The girl who can adapt herself

airs and who would scorn to do an
action Of which all the world might
not know. The girl who, In an emer-
gency, can turn her hand to anything,
from cooking the family dinner to re.
trimming an old hat. The girl who is
unseliish enough to give up some
pleasure of her own to benefit another,

grieved at having to do so. The girl
