PAVING BOARD IS READY TO ANSWER
 ALL CRITICISMS

Col. M. IT. Rogers. president of the Paving and Sewer Commission, says that his board is ready and willing to answer all questions concerning the concrete paving at Fairfield avenue and State street. A resolution intro duced by Alderman MacFayden at the last meeting of the Common Council Monday night, called on the commis- sion to furnish the council with all the details concerning the pavement.
 F. J. Bowling, who owns property in that section claims that if a pub lie hearfngswas held by the eomnis- sion before it determined what kind was not notified MT. Bowling has
 Yesterday Col. Rogers said:
 When the paving was laid in Fair field avenue from State street june ton to the railroad viaduct. the com mission, as is it's custom, held pub lie hearing. I do not recall whether Mir. Bowling was present or not If he was not, it is not the fault of the commission.
 The contract and the paving arc both all right. The pavement is of concrete construction of the same specifications used by the state. The work was done by the Burns Go. and guaranteed for ten years bx that firm. The guarantee is covered by a bond Some repairs were necessary, due to the fact that there are bad spots in the ground there. These repairs were made at once by MT Burns, just as soon as his attention was called to the bad places"

in Maine were two college professors.
No sooner had the learned gentle
men arrived than their attention was
attracted by the unusual position OF
the stove, which was on posts four
feet high.
This circumstance afforded one of
the professors immediate opportunity
To comment on the knowledge that
woodsmen gain by observation.
Now" said he. this man has dis
covered that heat emanating from
stove strikes the roof and that the
circulation Is so quickened that the
camp Is warmed in much less time
than would be required were the
stove in its regular place on the
floor"
But the other professor ventured
the opinion that the stove was ele-
waited to be above the window that
cool and pure air could be had at
night.
After much argument. they called
the guide and asked why the stove
was In such position.

brought the stove up the river

so we had to set the stove up that way
so as to have the pipe reach through

Modern In Every Respect.
Under the management Of Colonel

the Institute, modern ideas have pre-
vailed In every department of the col
lege. No "tin soldisring" goes at
Roswell--it is real business from start
to finish. A West Pointer himself,
and a man who has made II his busi-
ness to keep abreast of the advance
OF the times. Colonel Wilson has
brought the institute up TO a stand
ard that is the admiration and won
der of all military men who have seen
il or had occasion to observe ita
work.
The institute. happily, has not been
dependent entirely on state appropri-
atoms In keeping up its work. While
the state has contributed substantially
to its support. a considerable part OF
It's income has been derived from the
United States government, which mas
given II a great boost and has enabled
il TO maintain the high reputation
that it has among the military acade-
mics of the country.
In the line OF modern improve
ments, a handsome gymnasium and
an up-to-date swimming pool have re-
Gently been installed at the institute,
affording facilities equal to any of the
same sort enjoyed by any college of
the same size and character In the
country. other advanced Ideas are In
