PAVING INQUIRY
BRINGS REPLIES

More replies on the paving in
qurieS are being received daily
by City Clerk VIM. L. Scott. These
replies are for the most part In
the same tenor as these formerly
received.
Distric. Engineer, E. Q. Sulli-
van, of San Bernardino, is strong
in his prais of the Outbound gra-
vel paving. He writes IN part The
of the use of such a type Of
surfacing en- the state highways in
this district has been very salts

ley where the sub grade conditions
are deplorable tbs type of road
has without question paid for IT.
self since constructed"
Mr.. Sullivan who has had as
much experience with this surfac-
Ing as perhaps anyone In the coun-
try, also stresses the extremely
low cost of maintenance.
Letters from Idaho and Arizo-
na state that while they have not
as yet constructed any of this
type of highway, plans are under
way for such construction during
this year. The cities of Weiser,
Payette and Caldwell, in Idaho,
are planning to surface their city
streets with the Outbound gravel
paving.
So far the only communication
in which the writer does not rec
cmmend the use of the Outbound
gravel is one of the Engineers of
Public Roads located at Washing
ton, D. c. 1t should be remem-
bered however that this is a pro-
cess used almost entirely in the
western states as yet, and pro-
cess which has been recommended
and approved by engineers in the
San Francisco office of tn Bur-
eau CT Public Roads.

QUITE DELIVERY: AD-
DRESSE CLAIMS DELAY
OF 10 HOURS.

The Age, in it's issue of June

rey TO the effect that there was
lapse of ten hours between the
filing time of a message sent
from Las Vegas TO C. w. Lundy
at Mesquite, and the time OF its
receipt by Mr.. Lundy.
Mr.. W B. Mundy, manager of
the Western Union in this city,
has made an investigation OF the
matter and states that there was
an elapsed time o. only A min
utes between the filing of the
message and its delivery to Mr. .
Lundy.
The following letter was receiv-

The correction of Mr., Mundy
