PaVINGOF SECOND
MOVING RAPIDLY
Replacing Condemned Con-
crete Spots Does Not
Hinder Work.

The Mccarthy Improvement COM
pany yesterday began relaying col-
demned places in the concrete founda-
ton of the Second avenue paving,
Inspector o. S. Holt several days ago
designated the spots which did not
prove satisfactory for one reason or
another, and advised the company
that new concrete would have TO be
laid. The biggest place is in front
of Clemanp & Salzmann's furniture
store between Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets, where for a space of 100 feet
or Whereabouts the concrete was soft
on top. Another spot is just east of
The Argus office. There are several
other smaller spots. The relayihg OF
the concrete at these points will not
seriously interfere with the speed
with which the work is now progress
ing. The spots will be left open for
several days, so that the newly laid
concrete may set and the laying Of
the binder course will proceed. The
contractors planned TO get the binder
in as far as Seventeenth street today,
anu IACA So VAIN anu ray tue AIAAeAi
course of asphalt to that point. If
the plan is carried out, it will mean
that half of the Second avenue paving
will be opened to traffic before the
coming week is out.
Thus far the street car company has
evinced no intention Of complying with
the desire of property owners and cit
liens in general which is that the
brick paving in the rail intersection at
Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Nineteenth
streets on Second avenue and Third
and Fourth avenues on Twentieth
street, be replaced by wood blocks so
as to make the paving uniform.

SHOULD PLAN TO
PROTECT AVENUE

With the probability that a part of
Second avenues new asphalt paving
will be thrown open to traffic within
the next week. it behooyes the city
commission. acting in conjunction with
the property owners, to frame rules
for its protection. There is a class of
heavy traffic which should be excluded
from the avenue, inasmuch as it is not
necessary for it to use the street. Pro-
vision should also be made for keep
ing the avenue clean. II can be flush
ed at night and swept during the day
and made into really beautiful thor
cughfare. or it can be neglected and
allowed TO appear as it has in the past
The time for action is ripe.
