If he has not already done so Alderman of great import. | It will aid in determin- . this Of one thing we feel assured, agate Falls shall rank | with other cities, have a leading effect in the matter. GazetT® has no other intorest in the mat- Niagara Falls make a proper start in pav- , ing. It feels,. tharefore, cepecial freedom the various kinds of paving offered. . The people must of necessity gain mucl inforttintion in regard to suitable material léad in the matter by those who have an . ulterior object in the advice givon. al report City Engineor Burns says : Plans No. 3 shows the foundation called «for 48 the Barber Asphalt Company's.speci feations. Itis my opimon that this foun- dation is not sufficient to insuro good service and conséquently do not recommend its adoption under any cireamatances.\ . In our opinion this is sufficient bass for the. people to have nothing to do with the Barber Asphalt Company's offer unles they can prove Mr. Burns in error, We 'belleva Mr, Burns'to be above making this plain rtatementfor any other purpose than ithe: h from ”magnum : tlea :' wee winhy any ' feel felendly to asphalt, they caunot 'feel liko aeking for asphalt that would not * give good service. \If Nisgara Falls allows any asphalt to be Tald in Ita streets, it should be of the bert quality and above such criticism ns the 'city enginoor has at this early date felt the necessity of making. Another thing the people mtist understand mbout msphalt is £.. Abst if they select the material for stroot paving to any extent, they place them- selves, we beliove, at the mercy of a mo- nopoly. We are told that a similar situa- tion would result from the sclection of n certain kind of brick. It Is not so lofg ago that we recall one of the Tonawandas had cccasion to let some contracts for brick pay- Ing. A contractor who attended the meeting st which the bids were opened made the statement afterwards that the firm who made\ the brick desired sonounced that they would supply it only to a certaifl fa: & ored contractor, whose bid was said to be very fat from being the lowest. Of comme, this action on the part of the brick people put a corneron the market and the other * -__ contractors were forced to withdraw their bids. This is as a contractor told the story to fis months ago. Now, Niagara Falls does not care to develop such a situation of « affairs, for it would not be to the interests of the people and taxpayers. We are impremed with the belief that too many ciffes have their corrupt paving rings; ~a condition of affairs Niagara Falls should ~~ Avoid. Pi¥iHi# contracts have caused the & downfall of many men. Niagara Falls desires no such page. in its history. In int cirenlating the petitions to the Council. I. Alderman Eames has no other right than to honestly state the facts, merits and cost of each kind of pavement. When be goes beyond this be exceeds his authority and the people where they mee it should not delay making the fact known through the papers. We feel that the selection of n member of the Council for' this duty is quite improper, at least it would have been - far bet'er had another been selected. A public meeting to disctms this all im- portant question will be held tonight and taxpayers are invited to be present. Ai this meeting it is expected that fepresenta- tives of the various kinds of paving ma- terial will be present to proclaim the merits of wazes. They will tell that there M is no such thing as poor pavement, snd all _- | . hofisten to the oratory of the evening -__ will wonder what it is they have seen and i heard so much of in other cities Out ofl all this skirmish of words thoe present will probably form some ideas of their own. mm to paving is a critical time fact. . Eames will in the pear fature start out 'to interview property owners in regard to the kind of paving they prefer and soliclt their names to petitions to be presented to the .Common Council. 'The decision of the , property owners in this matter: will be one or poorly paved city, and to a certain de- ~- gree mark its standing with othercities in and that is that the people desire that Ni- anfthsf a start shall be made that will 'The report submitted by City Engineer _ ___ Burns the Board [Pablic Worke_and. through that body to the Common Conncil is an important document bearing on the matter from an official who is paid to serve the people and guard their interests.
