COOPERATION BASIS OF
COMMUNITY GROWTH

Democracy without the aItru.
istic spirit-the spirit which con.
siders first the general Goods
farce. The CO. cooperative ORGAN.
,zations which are now BECOMING
SO popular among farmers are
essentially altruistic. Therein
they make for democracy. The
extension of cooperation means
the yoking of all the forces of
science and invention--which an
overintense individuaIism has
heretofore allowed to minister
chiefly to the advancement of
private fortunes-to the advance
ment of the communal welfare.
Cooperation makes it no Ionqer
essential to the best economic
use of either land, machinery or
capital, that the ownership of
large areas shall be concentrated
in the hands of individuals. II
makes small landhoIdings COM
patible with the largest agricul-
tural undertakings. In carry
ing on any public enterprise or
introducing any public better
ment the combined resources of
many men of small means can
usually accomplish anything pos
sible to the muItimIIionaire, and
accomplish it in such a way as
to make the undertaking helpful
in the manner Of it's doing as
well as in its results. Growth
comes rapidly to a community
where many men are thinking
for the general good and just as
rapidly to the individual who
thus makes it manifest that he
is touched with the divine spirit
of aItruism.-C. r. Barns.

some instances the city applies the
cost OF the water on the property

A Good Pavement for Alma.
1t is generally conc eded that a
pavement of Vitrified brick laid on
a concrete foundation is superior in
durability to any other pavement
costing the same money but it costs
about 1-3 more than illuminated
concrete, and in cities where the
latter has been properly laid it
gives good satisfaction and is be-
lieved TO be the best pavement for
the money involved and increasing
amounts are being laid, this is es-
pecially the case in Ann Arbor,
Lansing, ST. Johns, Mt Pleasant,
Charlevoix and other Michigan
cities, and your committee is of the
opinion that it will admirably meet
the requirements Of Alma This
illuminated concrete pavement con
sists Of a layer of concrete inches
thick composed of one part Portland
cement to five parts of sand and
gravel. When set and dry a thin
coating of bitumen is spread upon it
and before this is dry the entire sur
face is covered with thin uniform
layer of torpedo sand The details
of construction differ in different
places. The above answers the
specifications at Ann Arbor. At
Mt. Pleasant a inch base Of con-
crete is laid one part Portland ce-
ment to 6 parts clean gravel and
upon this is laid a wearing coat .
inches thick of part Portland ce-
ment to part coarse, sharp sand
and parts clean gravel
Pavements should be laid on "a
properly compacted subgrade where
the soil is porus and well drained !;
or upon a properly prepared sub
base on heavy wet clay soil; in
some cases it may be necessary to
lay tile drains.
You should find hereto attached
copies of specifications for the inn
provements under consideration
which have been furnished us by
some OF the cities visited
In conclusion your committee
wishes to express their appropriations
for courtesies received from the
officials and prominent citizens of
the cities visited from Charlevoix,
Michigan, to Findlay, Ohio.

Second. On State street the pres
ent wooden main should be replaced
with a cast iron one with necessary
fittings, as noted for Superior street
Seventy water connections would be
required on the above line, and six
~hut-off boxes The above main
should be four-inch pipe from near
the r. r. TO Superior street thence
to Walnut street six-inch pipe
thence to near Elwel street a four
inch pipe
Third. The sewer on Superior
street is probably ample and salts
factory except from near the Ar
cade Hotel to the place where the
POllasky sewer crosses that street, a
distance 'oi about sixteen rods This
should be laid so as to empty into
the Pollasky sewer. Twenty-six
new sewer connections would be nee
eSsary on this street
Fourth. There are satisfactory
public sewer accommodations on
Superior street throughout except
from Walnut street to Superior
street within which territory the
main dependence seems to be on a
private sewer originally constructed
by Mr. A. W. Wright This is To-
Gated outside of the probable gut
ter line but is liable to stoppage
from tree roots which have grown
through the joints of the tile
We would recommend that. if the
property owners on State street be-
tween Walnut and Superior so desire
and petition, the City Engineer be
instructed to determine the necessary
sewer district and make map of
the same, and that a board of special
assessors be appointed to determine
who would be entitled to use said
sewer and the cost OF the same for
each lot or premises. And it would
further recommend that the terrace
on each side of State street be made
Of as nearly equal width as possible

on the west side was located too
far to the east

Ing changes we estimate at S7.4l5.OO.
