What it is costing the city now to
maintain it's streets, will, l think, a.
mount to more than the interest
would be on the cost of paving them.
So as a business proposition it would
seem the thing to do is to begin these
improvements and stop the waste of
honey in repairing the principal
streets and also get the benefit of
permanent improvements.
| trust no one will misunderstood
me in writing this letter. My only
motive is that l might offer sug-

cussion of a matter that is of such
vital interest to this city by men who

have always stood for reforms and
progress and while l have no prop
erty on Atlanta street or the pub

ting these streets should decide at
any time to have these streets paved

toward the cost, for l as we'll as ev-
erybody else will be benefited.

payments made so easy tnaI nobody
will feel it, and after it is done, the
only regret will be that it was not
done long before.
In some cities the cost of paving
is pro-rated between the a
property owners, the street Ger com
pany, (if there be one) and the city?
In other cities the entire cost is as
sessad against the abutting property
owners and street car company. Now
if the mayor and council here are
not authorized to pay a part of the
cost for lack of funds or otherwise,
lets see what it will cost pro-rated
between the street car company and
the abutting property owners.
Let us take Atlanta street for ex-
ample. 1t has a car line and | under
stand the people living there want
the street paved and are willing to
pay their share. This street is about
thirty five feet wide, which is as
wide as necessary, all the way from
Sans Drug Store to Dixie Avenue.
In order to arrive at the cost per foot
to the property owner we will take
for example 100 lineal feet 80 feet
this will figure 3SS surface yards.
The following specifications for
street paving is what l would recon-
mend for this street with about the
present cost.

Plan TO Starr Street Paving

bondage o. a slow, easy going city,
and placed her in the front ranks of
the most modern and progressive cit
les in the country and increased her

| will not undertake in this short
space 10 explain how they did it, but
WI say that the people made up
1Aeir minds That they had lived in
the dust and mud long enough, found
the way and did it.
Street paving is one of the great
est assets any city can have, and
once street is paved in Marietta
you will find it will be but short
time until all the principal streets
are paved. But you say we can't
pave the streets Of Marietta because
the people won't authorize a bond
issue to pay for these improvements.
Perhaps this is true And again the
people look upon the question of
street paving as if it would almost
bankrupt them, when as a matter of
fact the benefits derived from the
improvements will overcome the cost
in the way Of increased values and
rents on the property to say nothing
about the advertisement the city will
get and the general progress of the
community due to the improvements
How can it be done?

gest a plan by which all the princi-
pal streets can be paved and the

Editor the Journal

Editor the Journal:
During the last twelve months the
question of street paving in Marietta
has been very much in the limelight
1t has now become apparently side
tracked, largely l think, for the lack
of information on the subject
Since | have cast my lot with the
good people of this splendid little
city | have been a very close obser-
yer of the conditions in Marietta
have tried to analize in my own mind
the reasons why this beautiful,
wealthy and ideally located little
city has never paved it's streets in
keeping with other progressive cities
ell over the country.
Some of the people told me that
the reason the streets have never
been paved was on account of fac
tional politics. Others have said the
city was already bonded high enough
and that the property owners did not
want any additional burden in the
way of increased taxes. | do not be-
lieve any of these are good and suf-
ficient reasons why the main thor
oughfaras of the city have not been
paved and otherwise improved.
The people, generally speaking,
are a people of culture, refinement
and wealth, and like all other peo-
pie of like character, will do these
things if given the opportunity and
shown the way it can be done with
cut being a hardship on them.
During my connection with the
city administration of Rome more

each side and the street car company
would be SI5106 each for the 100
feet of that street. SO it can be seen
that if man owns so feet front his
part would be only S9035 or about
$l.S1 per front foot If the prop
erty owners should desire to pay the
cost in installmenTs of from three to
five years the Mayor and Council
could issue paving certificates and
sell them to any of the banks or trust
companies who would carry them at
from 8 % to 6% interest. These Sc
curities would be better than first
mortgage against the property and
would come ahead of any other
claims.
A street paved with vitrified brick
as the finished surface, the base be-
ing the same, will cost about $50
per surface yard, little higher than
the bithulithic or asphalt finish as
specified above, and which from my
experience is more desirable. 1t is
not SO noisy and will, if properly put
down, last as long and make as
smooth and beautiful paving.
There are of course other methods
of paving, some of which can be
done for less than what l have sug-
gested, but l believe the kind I have
specified here will meet th3 condi-
tions in Marietta better than any
thing else and it will last twenty
five years Or longer, in fact the base
never wears out. Only the surface
would have to be repaired should it
need any attention at all.
The estimated cost herein shown is
based on the information l have re
Gently had, but l believe this kind
Of paving can be done for even less.

streets in Rome were paved under
these conditions seven years ago and
