There has been talk for some time
past OF cheaper payements for the
cross streets-cheaper than brick OF
the standard character. If this can be
carried out with little or no prejudice
or injury in any direction the sugges
tion may be considered good. Gravel
for cross streets in the residence see
tons has been considered favorably
but the objection now raised to this Is
that gravel would be ground to dust
and carried by wind and wagons to the
brick streets. The proposition to
have the brick streets swept at regular
intervals, to keep them clean, Is con
sidered inconsistent with the grave
proposition for the cross streets. since
gravel streets can not be swept and
would be a constant dust producer tC
say nothing of clogging the sewers.
