eSnt Out Weod Block.

Future consideration of paving
ventures, in view Of Mobiles re-
cent experience, should entirely
eliminate wood block which has
been amply proven to be unfit
material for use in this climate.
And Mobile is by no means the
only southern city that has been
'stung" in this matter, although
it may be one of the few to profit
by experience purchased at
heavy cost. During the heavy
rains of the past two weeks the
wood block alone suffered, even
some Of the wooden paving that
has been down but a short time
is breaking in many places.
Wood block may be a perrna-
nent paving Y as those who adj
yocated it claim; in that case it
is the fault Of the contractors
that it has given such poor salts
faction. Whatever the trouble,
the city will do well to steer clear
of it IN the future.
The Mobile Register. one of
the leading newspapers in Ala
barna, in giving an account of
the damage wrought by the Sep
ternber storm, has this to say, in
its issue Of Sept. 16:
While the damage in the city
will not be as great as was fear
ed last Sunday night, it will
possibly be two weeks or more
before the city can repair the
damaged paving on Government
Street, Spring Hill Avenue and
Hallett Street where the damag-
ed streets are paved with wood
en- blocks. Some of the paving
has been down for a number of
years and some only a conpara-
lively shorts time. On Spring
Hill Avenue from Van Rensselaer,
street out, practically
one-half mile of b ] sc k
paving was was d out
and in many other places on this
steet andl Hallett and Govern
rrlettt Streets the paving bsleklad
to such an extent the blocks have
already been or will have to be
taAzan out and reset.
While TIE people in Opelousas
are anxious to have a good pave
ment it is a sure thing that they
do not care about going into
great expenses for a certain kind
Of pavement which will buckle
! in a few weeks after it will have
been laid. The climatic eondi
ton in this vicinity is the same
as that at Mobile, and it is hopet
that Opelousas will not have tn,
same difficulty with Woodel
blocks as Mobile has had, sine
the Council has decided in favo
Iof the pavement.
IL the voice of the people is t
be ignored in matter of taxing
themselves for street improve
ments, as was done in this case
why then the necessity of con
sulting them at all, on matter o
taxation? We understand tina
