The first brick pavement laid in Charleston, W. Va., wm conatructed somewhat as follows: Tbe street was brought to the required grade, firmed, covered with i our inches of sand and coat cinders, leveled smoothly, covered with inch oak boards tarred, laid lengthwise of the street and settled firmly on the sand; then one inch or moifi of sand was spread on the beards, and the bard pavers were set on edge on sand across tbe street from curb to curb, settling the brick solidly. The surface was then covered with sand, and the travel allowed to wear the sand into all openings and interstices. Alter sixteen years of wear it is claimed that the boards are sound. The use oi Cyprus boards is recommended tor this purpose. For this method it is claimed that the boards maintain an even travel surface, distributing

Democrats, to-day, and it is the feeling that the caucus that nominated Leon Bailey ior Oity Attorney should revise its work. Bailey’s friends declare that he is “all right,” and should be rewarded for hit party servics. One Councilman said this morning: “Bailey did something for me two years ago snd I told him then that if I could do him a political flavor I would, and

I have kept my promise.”

Senator McDonald wrote letters in Bailey ’s behalf and Senator Voorhees used his per-

suasive eloquence in hie behalf.

The disapproval of the caucus's action is so strong that a meeting to express it is talked

of. -

But if heavy travel should make it necessary to repair the pavement at the end of fifteen or twenty years, the foundation and lower tier of brick would be good, requiring the renewal of only a part of the top paver* to make a pavement as good as new at a small expense.

Massachusetts avenue paved with a smooth pavement from the Bee Line Depot to tbe Intersection of Pennsylvania street, would make one of the best retail business streets in this oity. With the cobble-stone pavement as it is, everybody avoids traveling on it when they oan. The property holders on this avenue could well afford to put on a smooth pavement every ten years, for the increase in business and rents that would b* realized. There are other streets that should not delay putting down good pavements if they would protect their business interests. As to muddy streets, the experience of this winter ought to suffice. For the future the of oity the work of improving th* streets should go forward. Under the . Barren law, little, if any. hindrance should b* £» ron experienced. Those who prefer to pay as the improvements are mad* can do so. snd those that th* cost of construction, if required at an early day, would inconvenience, can take such time as th* law provides, at a reasonable rate of interest. Tbe best pavement for the cost, th* dumbllitv and desirability taken into consideration, is an important question at this time, and on* that will greatly affect th* future of our city. J. J. W.
