The United States collier Justin is re-
ported in Washington dispatches as
having been finally sold to a New
York bidder for 1901, 107.
The navy appraisers fixed the value
of the vessel at $4,000. Had it not
been for an irregularity in former
advertisement of the sale of the JUS
tin she would have been sold on a
bid approximating the value fixed by
the board of appraisers and the gov
eminent mulcted to the tune of some
thing over 100000. This incident
naturally raises the question as to
how many of Uncle Sans cast-off
ships have been sold for fraction of
their value in the past.
There's room for an investigation
in the Justin affair. Either the navy
appraisers are grossly incompetent
or there has been some tall old graft
ing by somebody. That sticks out

The PROBLEM OF STREET MAKING
BY MAYOR S. II. HAYS

Tho approach of bad weather al
ways brings clearly into view the need
for gooG streets to travel over A
hundred miles of streets and a thou
sand automobiles running over them
is one of Our civic problems. In the
last year or two, the use of automo-
biles has bee ngreatly increased and
no doubt. this condition will continue.
Automobiles are no longer owned by
the residents of the paved districts
alone but are owned by people living
all over the city. but no matter
whether an automobile is used or a
horse and buggy, the need for good
streets in the winter time is equally
apparent.
Street making. however, is expen-
sive. We cannot engage in an ex-
tensive paving campaign. Property
owners ought not to be required 20
pave unless the conditions warrant it,
In many places. paving will nst be

forwards would give us In a reason
able time a very large mileage of good
roads in the city.
The southern portion of the city
across the river also is in considerable
need of street improvements and a
similar plan should be made there so
as to provide the creates. convenience
within the shortest time and at the
least expense.
There is another thing about good
roads from the city's standpoint and
that is that good roads are needed in
the winter time so that the fire APP
paratus may promptly reach the
scene of the fire without accident.
Our mileage of streets is so great, SIS
miles of dirt streets and over 10 miles
of paved streets, that although we
spend a good deal of money annually
it seems to make little impression. To
prepare a suitable plan for develop
ment and do the work skillfully and
steadily without undue expense is the
problem which the city must face.
Councilman Finnegan has made con-
siderable investigation into the ques-
ton of street materials and the style
of road building that is most desir-
able and least expensive and I believe
the problem can be solved and that in
a short time we will have streets sec :
ond to none anywhere in the country.

Dear Sir In answer to your valued

with the whole bag of tricks, but in
Wow of the fact that | was born a
Republican of the most pronounced

necessary for many years but at the
same time, a good road is something
that is needed right now. The city
administration should study the sit
uation and then make u plan which
Will meet the general public approx

Any such plan will take a number OF
years to carry it out so as to reduce
the annual expense, but the plan ought
to be made and then carried out as

The part of the street that is ac-
tually used for travel is only about
10 or IS feet along the center of the
roadway. In some instances ] believe
that roadway of that width might be

built very much like the road between
Collister and Pierce Park. This is a
very good winter road and | see no
reason why it should not be used in
the city as well as in the country Then
again, little better road might be
provided by paving a 16 or 18-foot
strip down the center of the street

our space II the street is used to turn
around on or to drive up to the curb
to take passengers. We spend a good
deal of money just to cover the street
so as to use it for these purposes. In
the interest of economy, possibly We
can pave a strip in the middle of the
street that needs il gradually fillfnS
in the sides with sand or gravel as

will be done and how it. will be done
is a matter of study and experiment
but ii is something that ought to be
undertaken intelligently and skillfully
We cannot pave all our streets at
once so that the improvements that
we make must be made with the OBJ
1ect of doing the greatest good to the
greatest number at the present time.
Eighth street and Harrison boule-
ward are now paved out to a consid-
cradle distance. II we take one street
between these two, say Twelfth, Thir-
teenth or Fourteenth streets and pro-
vide another good roadway to the
northern part of the city, we will then
find ON looking at the map that ev-
eryone living in the northern portion
of the town will not be farther away
than two blocks from a good road.
Such an Improvement then on one OF
the streets towards the northern
boundary of the city would be of bene-
fit not only to the people ON the street
but to all of the people in the vicin-
ity. A connecting street from Eighth
