The manner of his. remarks did not please Mr. Conduitt, who exc.aimed “I know what you are driving at. You want to create the impression that this board is wedded to asphalt and no other kind of improvement Tint is not true. NVe are willing to give the best and most durable improvement. I don’t care what they say ou Illinois street—it is not true; ; in other words, it is a he.” “Well, I am glad to hear that, but the impression is that you will not order a brick street—” Mf “That’s wrong. Theffoard is opposed to brick on a broken stone foundation. That’s what they wanted on Illinois street. We think it should be on concrete.” “And I think you are right on that. But 1 am opposed to paving the tracks with material that will not last. Why, the mules will chop it up in six months. There are boles in Massachusetts avenue uowtnatyou could bury a dog in. I prefer brick because I think it is best.” “But there was no petition for brick—’’ “A* I said before, we didn’t think it it would be of any use to file the petition, and therefore did not do it.” Mr. Conduitt took a seat and began reading over some papers. Mr. Landers talked a little while longer and then walked out as Mr. Scherrer chme in. The board has not decided whether it will pave the street clear across. The roadway is but thirty-five feet wide, and thia would leave about nine feet driveway ou each side of the tracks^ Thia the board believes is too narrow. Minor City Matters. The improvement of Peck street is still under consideration. The board was alked to open Youug street from Cypress to Nomia streets. The first alley west of Meridian from Thirteenth to the first alley south of Thirteenth is to be graded and graveled. Councilman Schmidt presented a petition asking for the improvement of Raymond street, from Madison avenue to Shelby street, by grading and graveling. The Citizens’ Street Railway Company has notified the Board of Public Works that it will adjust its tracks to the grade on South Delaware street, Madisou avenue aud West

Market street.

The engineer was ordered to set the •takes and make the necessary provision for the cement sidewalk in front of the Mans block on the corner of Ohio and

Meridian streets.

Peter Fritz notified the board that the Western Paving and Supply Companv is patting in 4x18 inch curbing on Stevens street, when the specifications call for curbing 5x24 inches. * SCOTTISH RITE BANQUET.

In her letter Mrs. NVetzel says she is tired of begging and raising her children as beggars.
