PAVING VS.. MAcADAM.
w. D. Kidder Favors Former to Granite
Street Macadam North Of That.

MIR Editor:-In view Of the strained
relations existing between several Of cur
aldermen and townsmen as regards paw
ling versus macadam for our principal
street, allow me d little space. I win
say at the outset I am an advocate Of
both paving and macadam in their pro-
per places do believe that Main
street should be paved as far north Is
Granite street, no further; and from
Granite street to Blackwell macadam-
ized. There Is such large volume Of
traffic on Granite street that it would
seem imperative to continue the paw
ing to this point.
But from Granite street to Black
we'll street It is largely residential and
probably viii remain so for several
years to come. The most Objectionable
feature Of this section Of the road be-
ing paved, laying aside the noise, is the
fact that many sewer connections will
have to bc made in the future for hous.
es as well as business blocks and small
stores We all know it practically inn
possible to tear up paving and replace
ia q satisfactory manner As 10 the
upkcep or repair Of both classes of road,
the paved street is more expensive
than would appear at first thought,
necessitatine as il Will later on re-
filling between the revasses of stone
of tar or other composition and finally
a tearing-up and inverting Of the blocks
SO as to get fat surface for travel
a. il now being done IN section Of Can-
al street in New York City. The repair
Of macadamized street, while not as
expensive each time ii is repaired, re
quiras % be looked after more often.
But for city the size Of Barre (lay-
ing aside the cost the northern see
ton of Main street beyond Granite
street should not Be paved.
Yours,
W. d. Kidder.

Taken to Hospital.

New York, July ia frightened
amateur, sitting like wooden man,
went up at dawn yesterday in Glenn
II. Curtiss's aeroplane, lowered mo-
! ment in midair, then crashed to earth.
The beautiful craft in which Curtiss
made his remarkable fight Saturday
was badly wrecked and the would be
aviator was lifted unconscious from the
twisted frame, his left arm broken,
his left thumb disloeated, his body
bruised and bis brain reeliug His I'M
juries, however, are not serious and he
is in the Nassau hospital at Mineola
i. I. while the battered aeroplane rests
in its tent awaiting repairs.
Williams sat apparently motionless
and made no effort to manipulate the
rudder to keep The craft from rising.
Consequently it began shooting upward
turning at the same time toward the
right like ship unsteered. When ii
had attained a height Of about 30 feet
the dip to the right became dangerous
and the aeroplane reeling began its
fall The decent was not rapid but the
impact was sufficient to shatter num-
Der Of ribs, break both left and right
wing tips and the front control. When
it rolled over the engine continued to
work and the propeller was shattered
as it struck the ground A week 3
work at least will be required to patch
up the flyer and it win probably Be nee
essary to sent to Hammondsport, NJ X,
where Curtiss has his shop, for duplicate
parts.
The aeroplane society paid $1,000 for
the aeropane and Curtiss agreed to IN.
strnet the members in its use.
