WHY is 1T AUTOCRATIC?

he cannot explain why the British

lieyes that that if it were observed
to the fullest degree by those who
habitually give handouts that there
would be two big gains in state ef-

would be forced to work for a living

to fix up the torn up places by put
ting cement concrete in the holes.
Willy the council should allow any
thing Of the kind IL more than we can
tell II looks bad and costs more
than the proper material.
Pavement Should BE Treated.

rolled in on some warm day 1t Is
noticeable that the life is giving out
The pavement has not the spring to
It that II formerly had which means
that it needs to be cared for In
some places scars appear and on those
spots new surface coat should be
spread after the spot had been hack
ed up for a depth OF few inches.
After the tar has been spread over
the surface sitting coat Of fine
screenings should be spread and all
thoroughly rolled.
II the precautions we mention are
taken the pavement Will last life

be but a few years until new pave

The pavement was built by special
