CIVIC IMPROVEMENT SHOULD
 RE PLANNED CONSISTENTLY
 HENRY BRINKMEYER, JR., SAYS

til a definite and comprehensive sys- tenn for the work contemplated had been prepared for study, criticism and approval. There is no more cer- tain way of courting serious trouble than by proceeding with a hit and miss system of sub-surface work and imposing thereon a permanent type of pavement. Further in laying crowned subgrade in order to obtain a uniform thickness at shoulders and crown.
 In conclusion I wish to make d plea against the excessive width of pavement contemplated by the resi- dents of South Pleasant street. A 58 foot strip of pavement between curbs is not only unreasonable, but extravagant for a residential section of a city. Cities 20 times as large as Prescott is cannot afford such pave ments in their residential sections, but if Prescott has the money l would strongly advise increasing the depth and cutting the width of pave ment Such a pavement as voted for on South Pleasant street, especially without the adequate relief of sutfl- cient parking space between the curb and sidewalk would not only be no more serviceable but certainly less beautiful than a smaller width of pavement with proper relief of ade- quate parking space at the sides. The usual practice as was stated by the Warren company's representative from Phoenix, is a pavement of 30 to s feet between curbs, with pro- vision for relief at the side of each curb for good parking space. Hedges, shade trees, grass, etc, can be plant ed in these spaces and 1t is not nee essary to allow them to be cluttered up with a growth Of weeds, etc, pro viding the residents have sufficient pride to maintain 1t as a portion of their yards. I would certainly say that a 40 foot pavement between curbs would be more than adequate in the residential section of Pres colt when it is considered that such a width or even less usually accom- modate6 two street car lines i'll addi- ton to other traffic. Washington D. C., is one of the most model cit ies in all respects and i would in- vite your attention to its pavements.
 I have taken the liberty herein oi expressing myself very freely upon this matter and sincerely trust that I will not be misunderstood by either yourself or such citizens as may be- come acquainted with my attitude My criticisms are entirely friendly and are made with the full confidence that the citizens of Prescott are in the civic improvement work for the best results. 1 am native of Pres colt and have a strong attachment for the home town. It IS my inten- ton to return to Prescott in the fu- ture and become a property holder and taxpayer. Lastly, l am an engi- neer by training, education and sev- eral years actual practice. l believe these brief items will justify my attitude.
 I hope you may be able to bring at least of the points made in this discussion before progressive and aggressive citizens for consideration if you deem them worthy of such consideration.
 Yours very truly,
 HENRY BRINKMEYER, Lieutenant Civil Engineering Corps, United States Navy.

other hard spring wheat is reported in
Pendleton for seeding purposes. Last

at this time, leads to the demand for
the hard varieties.
