About Street PAVING.
Grenada, Miss, July 20, 1916.
Hon. B. F. Thomas,

0tShouo, MISS, July ~, lJlU.
Hon. B. F. Thomas,
Grenada, Miss.
Dear Sir:-Complying with your re-
quest, | have visited Green wood and
jackson to investigate the extent and,
if possible. determine the causes of the
bucking of the wood block pavements
reported from those cities.
Greenwood had some 24,000 square
yards of wood blocks laid about three
and one-haif years ago. The pavement
was covered by five year maintenance
bond. Impressed by the cheapness of
maintenance, the city recently surren-
dered the bond. for 4 consideration.
'Fhe'pavement has recently bucked in
one place to such an extent as to re-
quire repairs. Two laborers were able
to put the pavement back in good con?
diti0n in less than one hour. There are
probably one hundred rotten blocks in
the million and a quarter laid. these
Deing confined to a small area and prob
ably the result Of using defective log
in cutting the blocks.
Mayor Ray reports general sattsfac-
tion with this type of pavement and
states that for business districts he
would want no other. The Greenwood
blocks were laid on a sand cushion with
pitch filler.
Part of the business district of Jack
son is paved with wood blocks four, six
and eight years old. Part of the resi-
dence street was similarly paved four
years ago. There has been no repair
work of consequence needed until this
year and that was due to bucking.
The total repairs necessary from this
cause in the business district. covering
some 10, 0O0 square yards of pavement
cost $500. Tbs repair work has not
been done yet in the residence blocks
but this will cause little expense and
was all due to lack Of expansion joints.
Some of the street railway area is
paved with wood blocks without expan-
sion joints and some tucking necessar-
lily resulted. Several large bridges
having this pavement laid On sand ce-
ment cushion with pitch filler show no
deterioration Of any kind. No rotten
blocks appear in the Jackson pave
ment. All of the Jackson work that
caused trouble was lain of sand cush-
ion with sand filler, and expansion
joints. City Engineer Culley reports
tnat the amount of repairs to this type
Of pavement in jackson has been neg
ligible and the repair work simple ard
inexpensive.
With sand cement cushion, pitch
filler and proper expansion joints, as
planned for the Grenada pavement, I
have no fear Of serious bucking.

Engineer.

CHAPTER XIX.
An Invitation.


EOR three months Billy met hasbeens
II and third and fourth rate fighters from
New York and its environs He thrashed
them all-usually by the Knockout route.
Finally local sports commenced talking
about him a bit, and he was matched with
second-raters from other cities.
These men he cleaned UP as handiy as
he had the others, so that II was apparent
to fight-fandom that the big, quiet ''un-
known" was n conner. Pretty soon Profess
sor Cassidy received an offer from another
trainer-manager to match Billy against a
real "hope" who stood in the forefront OF
hopedom.
This other manager stated that he
thought the mill would prove excellent prac-
tce for his man, who was having difficulty
in finding opponents. Professor Cassidy
thought So too. and grnned for two hours
straight after reading the challenge
The details OF the fight were quickly ar
ranged In accordance with the State reg
ulations It was TO be a ten-round, no de-
csion bout--even the weight Of the gloves
was prescribed by law.
The name Of the white hope against whom
Billy was TO go was sufficient TO draw a
fair house, and there were some there who
had seen Billy in other fights and looked
for good mill When the coming cham
pion," so Bllly's opponent was introduced,
stepped into the ring, he received a hearty
round OF applause; whereas there was but
scattered ripple of handclapping to greet
the mucker.
1t was the first time Billy had ever
stepped into ring with first-rate fighter
and as he saw the huge muscles of his
antagonist and recalled the stories he had
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-08-04

heard of his prowess and science, Billy
for the first time in his life felt a tremor
OF nervousness.
His eyes wandered across the ropes to the
sea OF faces turned up toward him, and all
Of a sudden Billy Byrne went into a blue
funk. Professor Cassidy, shrewd and ex
perienced, saw 1t as soon as Billy realized
it--he saw the fading of his high hopes
he saw his castles in Spain tumbling in
ruins about his ears-he saw his huge giant
lying prone within that squared circle as
the hand of the referee rose and fell In
cadence to the ticking seconds that would
count his man out.
Here" he whispered, take swig o.
this" and he pressed a bottle toward Bilys
lips.
Billy shook his head The stun had kept
him down all his life he had sworn never
to touch another drop OF IL, and he never
would, whether he lost this and every other
fight he ever fought. He had sworn to
leave II alone for her sake
For her sake!
And then the gong called him to the
center of the ring.
Billy knew that he was afraid-he
thought that he was afraid of the big
trained fighter who faced him /; but Cassidy
knew that II was plain case of stage fright
that had grlpped his man.
He knew, too. that 1t would be enough
to defeat Billy's every chance for victory
and after the big white hope" had felled
Billy twice in the first minute of the first
round Cassidy knew that il was all over
but the shouting.
The fans many of them, were laughing
and yelling derogatory remarks at Billy.
Stan up an fight, yeh big stifrr' and
Back TO de farm fer youser' Then, high
above the others. shrill voice cried:
Coward! Cowardw
The word penetrated Billy's hopeless,
muddled brain
Coward She had called him that once,
and then she had changed her mind
Theriere had thought him coward, yet as
he died he had said that he was the bravest
man he had ever known.
Billy recalled the yelling Samurai, with
their keen swords and terrible spears He
saw the little room in the palace" of Oda
Yorimoto, and again he faced the brown
devils that had hacked and hewed and
stabbed at him that day as he fought to
save the woman he loved.

door he saw a great pile Of paper coming
