residential and suburban streets are no
better than if as good as ours. In their
main streets they use considerable rock as
phalt and wooden block pavements. We
are prohibited from using rock asphalt
by the freight charges, but our wooden
block pavements are as good as can be
found anywhere. In the foundation WORK
their streets are better prepared for the
pavements than ours. In London the
concrete beds are nine inches thick, while
ours ere only six inches. This makes the
London pavement less liable to settle IN

BRINGS TIPS ON PAVING
Brooklyn Engineer Returns

In Europe, at the city's expense, investi-

Fort brought back with him a large mass
Of information which, he said yesterday
he intends to make use of Immediately.
On the whole his investigation of the
paving conditions did not convince him
that New York City is half as bad as II
has been painted IN this respect
Borough President Steers" he said,

might improve our pavements by follow

that horse traffic had almost disappeared.
These streets are the main business thor
oughfares IN the old City OF London. The
absence of the horse traffic greatly sim
pllfies the maintenance and cleaning #
the streets.
"The reasons that the foreign streets
are In better condition than ours are no
reflection on our officials. Tho cities OF
Europe are more nearly completed than
ours. The streets are not continually torn
up for building purposes. They arc sell
dom opened except for repairs Another
point is that the electric wires and gas
and water pipes are laid for the most
part under the sidewalks. with the result
that there are few m1nhoies in tine streets.
I'm Paris, especially. the sewer openings
are all in the sidewalks. Manholes, OF a
different material than arc the pave
ments, make unevenness and bad spots.
1t Is impossible to pave around them
without leaving openings in which sedi-
ment accumulates.
There is another important point. The
foreign cities use for pavement granite
blocks that are cut much smoother than
the sort We use. These blocks, Of course
cost more than ours. Some foreign cities
buy their own granite blocks and lay
them by means OF day laborcrs. Liver
pool, for instance, does this. Smooth
blocks can, Of course. be laid much closer
than rough ones. But II IS not true that
all the streets are paved better than
ours.
