ing of a Hassam pavement Ill Frank- line street from Bath street, where the brick pavement ends, 10 the loot of Grove street, or the entire length of Franklin street The public works committee visited Lynn, Mass, to see some of this pavement and were thor Oughly impressed by It's many excel lent features. Civil Engineer Pitcher accompanied the committee He saw the same street five years ago at which time it had been laid for two years. In the seven years the constant use of the street has not worn down the pavement an eighth of an inch. The city of Portland, Oregon, has many miles of the road. It first put down two miles of it in 190s and the follow ing year six more. In 1910 1t laid IA miles and in 1911 it built % more miles of the road. making total of 51 miles. Springfield Mo. has just voted to put in two miles of the road and there are It miles of it in the city of Lynn.
 It makes a street of nice appearance cleaner than brick and without joints so that 1t is not as noisy as brick | The cost Is much less than brick. A
 square yard Of brick costs S2.96 and i the same amount of Hassam pavement | costs sL.50.
 i In making the foundation of the 1 pavement, two-inch ring stone is used | mixed with cement and then rolled 1 with a ten-tOn roller. Local rock could ] be used for such foundation and il
 would be secured from the city's 1 crusher by the company which builds i the road On top of the bed rock is i placed three inches of trap rock anC l cement which is rolled and forms the

 Exterminate Houses of m Repute.


 Exterminate Houses of m Repute.
 Members of the committee of 100 of the Men and Religion Forward Move ment have received a letter from the W. c. T. [. of Norwich asking their cooperation with the union in appeal ing to the mayor to have the law en- forced to exterminate the houses of ill fame in the city.
 The letter is signed by Lucille A. James as superintendent of the purity department of the W. c. r. [. and by the president Miss Harriet c. Cross. and the secretary, Mrs. Fl. F. Palmer.
 The following is an extract from the letter:
 We, the members of the W. C. T. '. of Norwich. having carefully consid- cred in meeting assembled the law of the state of Connecticut in regard to prostitution and houses of i'll fame. and having had brought to our notice a number of such houses doing their Defarious business within our city linn it's have appealed to the mayor as our highest executive officer to enforce the law and have such houses closed. We appeal to the committee of 100 of the Men and Religion Forward Movement to cooperate with us by sending indi- vidual appeals to the mayor requesting law enforcement which shall mean ex- termination of such open and licensed vice from our city: also assuring him of your hearty support and co-upera- tion in the movement
 We are confident that with the ear nest effort of 100 Christian men and voters our city can be speedily freed from sin and crime, which is a tempta- ton and menace not alone to old and hardened criminals but to our young boys and young men, and which is leading many of oIr fair young girls and young women down to ruin.

ITEMS FOR THE CITY MEETING
Appropriation of $500 Asked for Fairgrounds and the Placing of fHassam Pavement in Washington and Franklin Streets Desired.

Before the executive committee on Monday evening, J. B. Stanton and John M. Lee, president and secretary of the Norwich Fairgrounds associa- ton, appeared asking for an appro- Priat1on for the fitting up of the play ground off Lake street The associa- tion is to do the best it can towards arranging the grounds there for the use of children during the summer but it is anxious that the city appro- priate the sum of $500 for the pur- pose. The public works committee last season spent quite little time doing some grading on the grounds. The amount asked for will be placed in the budget to be acted upon in the city meeting in June.
 Washington Street.
 The committee has also received a petition from the residents of Wash ington street, asking that that resi- dential and much used street be given the attention that it needs and the desire was expressed that it be treat ed with top covering such as is used on the HaSsam pavement. The committee considered that such 2 course would not be satisfactory and returned the petition with the recom- mendation that the petition be pre- sented again. asking that S10,000 or some definite amount be appropriated for the placing of Hassam pavement in Washington street as far as such a sum will carry it and thus gradually get in a permanent road. It was believed that frost would throw the two or three inches of the Hassam wearing surface which might be placed on top of the present macadam, but that the six inch Hassam pavement would make an excellent street The street IS in need of some such at tention, as it has been d number et years since the macadam was put down.
 Franklin Street.
 Besides these two matters which will go to the budget will be another item of $S,000 to S8,5O0 for the plac-
