The writer is just one Of the many

Thing regarding public questions Of
any sort, but it seems to me that
instead of all this expert advice from
sale~men representing concerns man

directly interested in that paving pro-
ject To see what sort of pavement

building hard roads for years. and
has all kinds in service for long per
iods o. time and the conceusus Of
opinion OF men who drive ears all
over the state Of Ohio is that the
paving brick on a base of concrete
gives the longest and best service
and can be kept in repair at the least
cost
Having had some chances to see
different asphalt streets and roads
put in can say that there is only one
contractor out of every one hundred
who is equipped 10 lay good asphalt

is only one contractor in northern

fenced men who have been with him

| think that the decision to vote
on this selection OF what sort of

is an excellent idea, but | for one
will suggest that committee of

Reservations in Big Hotels
Double Average; Can't
Satisfy Demands

Finding hotel accommodation in
New York to-day is like paging a drink
in dry town. It takes long, long
time to get it, ana YOU are not sure OF
being satiticd whom you do.
Never before in the history Of Man
haitian hostelrics has the demand for
rooms so exceeded the supply. Not
only the large hotels, but practically
eli Of the better known small estab
jshments are continuously filled to
capacity.
Requests fer reservations have been
For the last week or so double the
number Of such requests over similar
periods in other years The Plaza,
Relocation, Fillmore, Vanderbilt,
McAlpin and Waldorf in normal times
average 1850 reservations daily. IN
all Of theae places now the daily adj
vance guest list numbers from $50 to
800 persons.
The fact that hundreds Of families
are coming 20 the city to meet their
returning soldier soas is advanced By
hotelmon as the chici reason for this
crowded condition. Another is the
boom Of prosperity following the war,
which Is bringing buyers and out-of-
town merchants TO the city in ever
increasing numbers. Many people are
stopping in town on their way TO

The recent cancellation by the gov
eminent Of war contracts awarded to

men out Of work, DR.. Kirchwey said

than can be supplied with jobs"
referring to the shortage OF Jobs for
returning soldiers, DR.. Kirchwcy said:
"The uniformed man who lands in this
city and looks for a now job is up
against it. There is not enough work
for those already here.
"Most of the men, however, can 90

have agreed TO take back all of their

Ter to employ women, at a lower rate
