IN CHICAGO

In 1904, a committee composed
of Mr.. c. D. Hill, chief engineer
of the Chicago Board of Local I'M
provements, and Mr.. John B. Hit
tell, Chief Engineer of Streets, pur-
suant to instructions from the
Board of Local improvements,
made a careful study of Bitulithic,
and reported to the board OH the
merits of this class of paving.
This report was based on examina
tons of Bitulithic made at various
times during the three previous
years in Boston and neighboring
municipalities, All inspection of
new work being done, and due
consideration of the scientific
principles in accordance with
which this pavement is construct
ed.
After description of the manner
of constructing the pavement, and
the high quality of the materials
employed, the report in part says:
We are of the opinion that this
pavement would be very durable
under moderate traffic. An ex-
animation of pavements under traf
fc for two or three years shows
very slight evidence of wear, and
the pavement were in better con-
dition than we would expect to
find asphalt or brick pavements
that had been subjected to the
same traffic, in no case did we find
any indication of cracking.
The surface of the pavement
affords a very good foothold for
horses, and automobile wheeles do
not skid on the surface. This was
observed not only when the pave
ment was dry, but while rain was
falling, and was noted on streets
with excessive grades. AS to this
feature of the pavement, we con-
slider it much superior to any other
standard pavement, except mac
adam. While the surface of Btu
lithic never becomes slippery, it is
sufficiently smooth to be entirely
satisfactory.
The pavement can be readily
cleaned and is as free from noise
as asphalt.
As to first cost: 1t is cheaper
than granite block pavement, a
little more expensive than asphalt
or brick, and much more expensive
than macadam.
Cost of maintenance: For five
years is probably more than granite
blocks, less than asphalt or brick
and much less than macadam.
Durability: 1t is inferior to
granite blocks, superior to asphalt
or brick, and much superior to
macadam.
Ease of traction: 1t is superb

WHAT ABOUT
THAT WATER

some folks argue just how the
water question is in this city.
Some favor the plan of issuing
500, 900 bonds and give them to
some individual or corporation to
build water works. Would a good
farmer or business man hire some
work done that he could do him
self without the least difficulty?
Would it be a wise thing for man
to do? If a corporation could build
for the city water works as demand
cd for 500, 600, could not the city
do it for the same sum? If not,
why not'
Individually and speaking for
itself only, The Dawn believes the
city should build, own and operate
the water works; that the plant
should be of sufficient capacity to
answer the demands of a city of
$4,000. True, the city does not
need so much water now, but how
long, at the rate it has increased
within two years will it be before
we will then need that muche
Not long. The city is growing
rapidly, the business blocks are
more costly and the residences are
more costly also. The day of
board structures in the business
section of the city is thing of the
past. Stone, brick or concrete has
superseded wood, and fine, costly
residences ranging in price from
$4,000 to $1,000 has superseded the
$50 to 500 shacks that were SO
common a few years since. We
believe that if the question was left
to the people that fully nine-tenths
of them would say: Let the city
build its own water system.
Some of our friends point to the
light plant when referring to NUM-
cipal ownership. The plant is not
to blame 1t is not an experiment
al station, neither is the plant an
experiment, though it may have
been experimental with consider
ably. That service has not been
of the best we admit, but there are
those in our midst who wished
that it could be made worse and
all for what purpose' The light
plant is valuable asset and if the
city will build. own and operate its
water works, it too, will be waltz
able property.
Seems to us that if practical
men and men of experience were
employed aud placed in charge,
that the water system could be
made to pay for itself in ten years.
The city could do this by estab-
fishing sinking fund but of
,,.A,,1I t,a ],.r1,t 70 c,V,l-
the fund as it has done in one or
more instances, and then expect to
haye the debt paid at the allotted
time. The city should be managed
as an individual business-to make
success of it. But the business
of this municipality has not been so
managed. 1t seems that the object
all along has been to spend not
only the income but more too. To
use an old saving it has been run
on the hell-to skelter" plan, and
the taxpayers footed the bill.

As a result of the investigation
conducted at the instance of the
Board of Public improvements and
further Investigation by the Lin
coin Park Commissioners, a con-
tract for II $50 square yards of
Bitulithic to be laid in Sheridan
Road, Lincoln Park, was awarded
to the Chicago Bitulithic Company
in April, 1906.

Dayton, O., Feb. 12.-'H Harmony

1t is a dull day when politics Is NOT

today it boiled away at liveiie- rate

call to s'get together" leaders Of the
several factions Of Ohio Republicans, 70

main idea from now on viii be to ge'
the strongest man available to ruH
against Judson Harmon, the Democratic
incumbent, who is certain of renomiRa-

the. necessity Of defeating Harmon FOR
another term az Governor in order that
he may not become formidable figure
for the Democratic presidential nomina-
tion in 1912. IL he should De re-elsct-
ed, he undoubtedly would be a s&EonG

especial TO TIVE MORNING TINES.

Washington, Feb. 12.-David r.
Francis has all but declared himself a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency in 1912 and il
is said Champ Clark is to be his sup
porter. The excuse for Francis pres
ence here is his attendance at a meet
ing of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress.--ss Real reason, however Is TO
sound the democratic members Of Con-
gress upon his candidacy for the nomi-
nation. A second reason is his inter
est in the rivers and harbors bill.
Francis is urging the enactment of that
bill, and to help work through both
houses the particulars of the appropria-
5ions for the Improvement of the Mis-
sissippi. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Francis to make the deep waterways
project one of the leading features OF
his platform when he comes out for the
presidency.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 12.-The off
GERS and members of the Tallahatchit
Protective Association who have beer
in Jackson ever since the Legislature
convened for the purpose Of securing
an amendment to the bill creating ths
Tallahatchie Drainage District by ex-
empting Coahoma and other counties
from its provisions, are growing very
apprehensive over Governor Noel's de-
lay in authorizing legisltive considera-
tion of the subject.
The officers of the association have
put their case squarely before the Gov
ernor, with petitions signed by ma
jority of the property owners in the ter
ritorv affected They have also sub
mitted petition from majority Of the
Legislators asking that authority be
given to consider the proposed amend
ment.
1t is contended by the association Of
ticers that unless the matter is put be-
fore the law-making body within the
next few days it will be utterly useless
to do SO; that they desire to get she
bill considered In committee and as
signed to place on the calendar in
order that it may be debated in open
session before the final adjournment
If the plans of the drainage commits
sion, as now formed, are carried out,
according to the argument made by she
association, it will amount to viFtually
confscation of property In that sec
| tion of the state. It is not their in
/ tention to defeat the plan of develop
,1nent of the Delta through drainage an q
other reclamation methods, but they
cite facts and figures ito show that the
project is too expensive, imposing a
burden on Coaboma landowners that is
too heavy to bear.
Several members Of the commission n
have been in Jackson during the past
few days presenting the opposite sids
of the question. The association Of
ficers contend, however, that If the Gov
ernor will give the legislators authori-
ty to consider the matter the amend
ment win be readily adopted.
