LAID ON THE RESIDENTIAL STREETS OF KINGSTON. ------ The Board of Works Adheres to Its Former Recommendation--It Will Advocate Nothing Else. If it should rain to-day it might rain every day for the next forty days, if you believe grandma. Of Course, it might not, but at the same time the fact that July is Saint Swithen's month must not be sight of and the almanacs mind you that the 15th is St. Syith- en's particulariay which [means ac- cording to tradition that you should annex somebody's umbrella, take down the raincoat and have a pair of rubbers. handy. The St. Swithen superstition has a simple and devout air which entitles it fo respect, particularly as a bishop is bound up in it. The gbod Bishop Swithen of Winchester was a very humble man and his desire was that his remains might be put away in the common burial ground of his minister in order that the rain could tall upon his grave and the wayfarer walk over it, should the wayfarer feel like doing so. He was so bur- led, 'and no keep-off-the-grass signs were put by the lot; but in order to canonize him the rules of the monks of that period were that he should be dug up and placed in a shrine in- side of the church. This was entire- ly antagonistic to"the wishes which had been repeatedly expressed by the good bishop when he had discussed such things, but on one 15th of July sometime in the tenth century the monks gathered for the purpose of transplanting him. They were about to start on the job when it commenced to rain, and it rained the next day and the next, making a continuous performance for forty days. This kind of damp- ened the ardor of the busy monks so they were, taking the constant rain as a sign of displeasure. Ever since the idea has been pre lent in some cireles that if it rains St. Swithen's day, there will be every day for the next forty The Board of Works will recommend nothing but sheet asphalt pavement on a concrete base for the residential streets. Its former recommendation, which was relerred' back for further consideration, will again be presented to the City Council for adoption- viz.: that the tender of Foley and Gleason to construct 50,000 square yards of sheet asphalt, with curbing, gutters, ete. 'for $125,063, be~ageepted, as much as possible of the work to be done before the cold weather sets in, and the balance next year. The -board convened-on-TFuesday- af ternoon, after its - members had autoed over most of the streets that are in the paving schedule It was a shirt sleeve meeting, all the members shedding their coats, with the excep tion of "Ald. Couper, who remained fully dressed and as cool looking as his five coatless confreres kt did not take long for the board to come to a conclusion as to what kind of pavement should be laid. Now that the streets in the schedule were thoroughly worn out, it was agreed that only a lasting pavement should be put down, even though the cost ap peared large . Sheet asphalt would cost $2.u a square yard; tarvis, $1.46, and ro mac, $1.94. I'hese were tthe compari sons " Che city engineer wis asked if sheet asphalt was worth 5ic. a square yard more than tarvia,' and he replied it was . I'he engineer had a statement shows ing that it would cost 217,200 to merely repair 37,135 square vards of the residential streets with macadam It would cost $25,000 to repair all the roadways in the schedule. When these ate nu potash and a hypodermic syrin repairs made, there would be nothing permanent to show. Ald. Couper agreed witll Alds Fair and Hughes that it would be wise to use g"concrete base. The sum of $125,000 looked like a large initial expenditure, but, it would be a big saving in years to come. "Sheet asphalt should wear thir- ty years in Kingston," said Ald Hughes "If the council 1s going to throw us down on sheet asphalt then I would favor going back to macad- am," declared Ald. Couper Ald Fair advised the Board o get together and agree on sheet as- phale. If they did, It would go through He moved that the origi- nal report of the board on the re- sidential paving should go back to council.
