Lmnher wales are of short duration at best and it might agood move to begin the work of laying walks or pavements of a more permanent kind, such as we find in some of our larger towns and cities. By starting now with a limited strip rand adding to it year by year it would not be long before the princi- pal streets would have practically permanent walks, that would not need the yearly doctoring now re- quired by the old ones. The initial expenes would be greater but in the long); run it would be money in pocket. Besides it would give the '1 A“‘inn+;17n \Jllfi’, J. “5.5 .nv _ 1 - pocket.
