T?ould all be materially shortened, and their cost reduced. 6. A paved roadway eighteen feet wide will allow two lines of vehicles to pass each other freely. These advantages and the great eoonomy that would result from the adoption of the plan make it worthy of more careful consideration than it h&s heretofore received. Many people who habitually oppose innovations, whether they ure meritorious or not, will resist the makiog of such narrow driveways, simply because it is not the "good old way." But if the plan is found to possess the merits as claimed above,it ie cer tain, like all meritorious things, to be adopted in the end.
ONE of the bast arguments that could bo made in favor of municipal control of Btreet railways is the labyriuthine wren gle into which Indianapolis has been thrown over the franchise recently granted to what io familiarly known as the "unknown." Another midnight session of the City Council has been h*ld and mi ordinance was passed granting the old company the right of way through certain streets for the purpose of extending its lines. Nobody seems to know where anybody else "is at," An endless amount of litigation apparently is in sight.
STAMFORD, CONN., has about twelve miles of six-inch sewers, which have been in use for about six years. It is a flbt town, and most of the sewers are laid on a slight inclination. There has never been a single stoppage in these sewers. The man-holes and inspection pipes have never been opened except ,t from curiosity. It is the experience of the leading engineers of the country that large sewers is a mistaken polioy.
FROM a gentleman who keeps a record TIIE JOURNAL learns that during the month of April, 1892, rain fell on seven days, and that during April, 1893, rain fell on twenty days. There were fourteen days of rain in May and ten it June of last year.

WIDTH OF PAVED STREETS. S. Whineary, President and General Manager of the Warren-Scharf ABplialt Paving Ooihpany, of Cincinnati, and widely known professionally as one of the most successful engineers in the oonntry, contributes an article to -Vtnicipal Engineering, a magazine deToted to the improvement of oitiee, on the "Width of Paved Road way a in City Streets," which is worthy of carefal perusal, not only by City Councilmen but by property holders who must bear the burden of taxes and assessments necessary to pay for suoh improvements. Mr. Whineery takes the posi tion as a solution of the problem, how to eecure well paved streets at a reasonable cost, that the width of roadway conld with propriety be reduced in width. Quite extensive observation has convinced him that a roadway from eighteen to twenty-four feet wide is ample to accommodii'p the travel that passes over the g'eut majority of residence stroma in American cities. There nre, of r.nirrH, iu'ever city, a number of principal driveways where wide raadsiiTS are ceces=:'.rv, but if one will consider the m.v.U-r be will be surprised at the small number of suoh heavily traveled streets outside of the business portion of noj given city. Paving such streets to a width of thirty-six feet he regards as a needless extravagance and a waste of money. In the case of atlfeast four cm', of five of such streets a paved roadway of eighteen feet will be found amply sufficient to meet all requirements. He summarizes his arguments in favor of reducing the road way with from thirty-six to eighteen feet, as follows: 1. Because it would reduce the cost of paving one-half. 2. The cost of cleaning or sprinkling the street is reduced one-half, or, in case it is not cleaned, there is only one-half the surface to supply the dust and dirt to be carried into the house by the wind. 3. The cost of maintenance and repairs would be greatly reduced. 4. The narrow pavement leaves a wide space on each side of the street, which after providing ample Bidewalks, may be sodded with grass and planted with trees, thus greatly increasing the beauty and comfort of the street, and practically adding to the front depth of abutting lots. 5. There will be ample space between the curb and the sidewalk in which to lay all sewer, water and gas pipes, where they will be readily accessible for repairs without cutting into and. disturbing the paved roadway. As this plan contemplates placing a line of such pipes on each side of the street, it may be claimed that the cost of such pipes would be doubled. This would not be true, since not only would the pipes tor the double system be smaller and cost lees to lay, but the house connections
