cREosoTE PAVING.

A recent issue of The Journal, pub
lished at Beaumont, Tex, contained
the following editorial:
That wood block paving possesses
some superior qualities over other
paving substances is the opinion en-
tertained by many people who have
made a study of paving, and 1t is the
experience of many cities over the
country, Chicago, for instance, also
St. Louis, as well as New York and
other metropolitan cities, are putting
down many dozens OF miles Of wood
block paving, the result Of the citizens
and property owners in these cities
insisting that such paving be used In
preference to asphalt or granite brick
paving. This win be interesting news
TO the people of Beaumont. in view Of
the fact that the city's principal thor
oughfare is now being paved with
creosoted wooden blocks, and the fur
Their fact that Main street was but
recently paved with the wood blocks.
and SO far as can be observed the paw
ing on the latter street has given sat-
isfaction.
The return to the city OF Mayor
Emmett Fletcher, as chronicled in The
Journal yesterday afternoon, adds
further interest to the subject Of
wood block paving the chief executive
Of the city stating that he found much
Of this kind of paving being laid In
Chicago, ST. Louis and other cities.
and ascertaining in each instance that
1t was giving entire satisfaction and
the property owners were insisting on
such paving over all others.
The further progress Of wood block
paving will, for this reason as well as
others, be watched with close interest.

In New England Mr.. Anderson was

sible roads by which automobiles are

For several years he has been in

way from New York through to Jack

Florida East Coast built and spent
the most OF his energies in working
up enthusiasm for this enterprise
Just a few days before his death Mr..
Anderson wrote a letter to the Flor
ida East Coast Automobile assoria
tlon urging renewed activities along
the line Of good roads for this sec
ton OF the East Coast.
Mr.. Anderson was a man known
either personally or by reputation, by
every person in this section OF the
state and was man who was he'd
