committee , which waa as follows
Tin : COMMITTKK'H iiKrour.
TJ Vliu Ilonrdot Trailc otlie C'lty of OiMtilin :
GKNTr.nnw The committco ap-
] Kinted by the board to investigate
llio variou ; kinds of street paving ma
terial , the cost of procuring the same
at Omahn , and the mnnnor of provid
ing mcanu for paying for the same ,
report :
First. Your committee find that
legislation will bo necessary , making
changes in the city charter , providing
for the issuing of street paving bondn
to pay aiich proportion of the cost of
paving streets and alloys as it may bo
deemed expedient , to pay from the
tronoral funds , and would recommend
that in making such change in the
charter that provision bo made for
creating n board of public works , to
consist of three members to bo ap
pointed by the mayor , and with the
consent of the city council the first
board to bo appointed to nerve respec
tively ono and three years. And they
further recommend that a change be
made providing for the letting of con
tracts for paving streotn and-iiroiccut-
ing other works of city improvement
at any time after the 1st of January
each ycur , as under the present provi
sions of the charter.
Contracts for the now year cannot
bo let until after the election of anew
now council , which takes place in April ,
which is BO late in the season that con
tractors nro nimble to arrange for _ ma
terial to commence \\ork until the
most favorable portion of the Reason
is past , and necessitating the work
boini , ' done late in the fall nnd winter
and at a greatly increased cost.
Second. That such bo.ird of public
works , when created , shall have full
charge and contract of the paving of
streets , the construction of sewers
and other now workx , when the prose
cution of the worko Hindi have hern
determined on by the city council ,
and said board shall lot all contracts
for the same , subject to the approval
of the council ; that hu city
council shall have power to or
der any street or alloy paved
upon being requested to dose
so upon the petition of the owners of
of majority of the property abutting
on such streets or alloys to bo paved ,
and such petitions shall , under the
signature of , or the owners of their
duly authorized agent , designate the
property respectively known by them
and the number of feet abutting on
such street or alloy to lie pavod.
Third. That the cost of paving
streets and alloyH and including the
intersection of streets shall bo paid
for , one-third of the entire cost from
the paving fund or proceeds of pavii.g
bonds , to bo itmuud by the city , and
the remaining two-thirds of the entire
coat slmll be assessed rctuably per
foot front against the property abut-
tinir on the Hlreot or alloy paved.
Fourth. After duo consideration of
the cost of the several kiuua of pavement -
mont in wo clsowhoreund the increas
ed cost of producing the same at
Omaha , chielly on account of tlio
transportation of paving material , tlio
committee are af the opinion that tlio
coat of piviiiv would bo ( approximate
ly ) as follows-
Holgian block pavement , using gran
ite lor superficial yard , $7 ; using
lime or sandstone , ? 5 ; asphaltum
limo stone blocks , § . ' { ; MoAdam , 91.50
to 81. 75.
Those prices are estimated to cover
the cost of making the necessary ex
cavation in preparing thy atrooU to
receive the pavement where the
streets have been brought to the es
tablished surface grade of tlio city.
In view of the great cost of paving
at OmaJia with any kind of material ,
the excessive number of streets to bo
paved and their extreme width , your
committee would recommend the
adoption of MoAdam , to bo constructed -
structod from the most durable stone
to bo found in the state , as being the
cheapest and admitting of expedition
in construction , to moot present de
mands.
Your committee , from an oxaminu-
tion of samples of stone ,
are of the
opinion that a inoro
superior quality of stone than
heretofore used , can bo found on the
Platte river which in point of hard
ness and durability , will equal the
blue Hmestono so extensively used in
moro eastern states and will furnish a
first-class quality of MacAdam pave-
mont.
Sixth , It has been suggested to
your committee ) that the U. P. railroad -
road company and possibly the Mo.
Pacific and B , it M. railroad eompa-
lues would , with u view of inaui-urat.
ing a system of paving of/ / the streets
of Unmhtt and having them speedily
put .in a permanent uml passable con
dition , contiibuto largely to reducing
tlio tlio , post of JMVUU ; in furnishing
traimnqrtatioii f the requisite mater-
IHB | , BUC ! as stone , gravel and rand ti
bo found on the line of their respective -
ivo roads , and to that end your com-
iniftee would advihu that the board
appoint a committee to ascertain from
said companies what assistance they
would afl'ord in that logard to carry
forward a work in which they are so
largely interested.

DKAK SIR : Your note of December
ICth , addressed to the city engineer ,
lias been referred by him to mo ns
liaving the supervision of street pav
ing , Ac. In answer to your first
question I will say that after long ex
perience and trying almost every pave
ment that hns been invented wo are
satisfied that the granite block pave
ment is the best for all general uses.
The blocks are eight inches in length ,
Four inches in width and eight incite *
in depth.
In answer to your second nnd third
questions , T will say that no part of
the coat of jm'iiiK the roadway of a
street in tln.i city is nsncnied on the
property nhultit.tr , the whole cost is
paid from the general tux fund. Ono-
lialf f the cost of the ciirbini ; and
sidewalk bricking is assessed on the
abutting property.
The city ku'tps in repair at the pub
lic cent all streets and sidewalks , - tlio
abutting property contributes nothing
except in thu L'eneral tux.

December 10 , ISdI. J
K. HoncAft'tr , Dlllor olTlio Hce :
DKAU Sm : In answer to yours of
Dcct'iiibor 1 , I take pleasure in giving
you such information asked for so fur
ax relates to this city.
First. Materials and kinds of p\y-
inoiit. Wo have tried most all kinds
of wood pavement , and find that the
pine block is a failure. Wo ate now
using , and have been for the past
night years , wiiito cedar blocks ,
which wo find the moat durable for a
wood pavement , and where wood is to
bo used I would recommend it in
preference to all others. Wo hnvo
also some Medina atone pavement ,
which is the bent , l lint can bo had in
stone p.tvomcnU , excepting graniti * .
I would just as soon have Medina
stone as granite , for the reason that
it does not become so smooth as gran
ite with use , and altogether given u
hotter toothold for horses in frosty
weather. Wo also have aomo limo-
stonopavomont , but I do notconsid r
it riuy bettor than cedur. I will
therefore recommend cedar blocks or
Medina stone.
Second. Cost of pavement. With
us the property abutting on the street
to bo paved pa > n the on tire cost of
everything except the intersections of
streets , which arc paid for by the city
out of the fund for that purpose ,
thereby leaving the property to pay
for only just what is in front thereof.
Third. Bonds. Wo have had a
law for the issuing of bonds for the
payment of paving tax , but at the last
sotsion of the state legislature it was
repealed at the solicitation of the city
authorities and now the property in
, ho assessment district has to pay the
issoBStnont in cash within thirty dayn
if tor tliii work has boon completed and
accepted by the city , and if
not paid within that time becomes n
lien on said property , for which it con
bo sold tliu tame as other taxes. Un
der the old law , when thu city issued
bonds , it was for three quartets of the
cost of thu work only ; the other ono-
quarter hud to be paid in cash , thu
sumo as at the pivscnt time , and the
property owmirs had three years in
which to pay the other three-quarters
in that is , to say , they had to pay
oiio-quarter every year , with interest
at 7 per cent , until it was nil paid.
This was n very good way to allow
poor people it chance to pay for the
paving of the street and not bo su
much of a burden on them. If there
is any other information I ciin give
you , I shall do HO with pleasure.
Yours , respectfully ,
JOHN MuLAitoiiLiN ,
Chief Engineer.

( I. ) lost of paving in this city of

most lasting. The use of fttono com

DEAK But : In reply to your lottei
of the lOth inst. , asking forinfornm.
lion in relation to pavements , I have
the honor to report as follows :
"First. Is the entire cost of paving
levied on property abutting ? "
For the original pavement , the cost
is levied upon property abutting in
the center of the block , In some
special cases of
IIKI'AVIMI ,
the coat is levied upon a district fixed
by the proper authorities according to
benefits.
"Second. Are bonds issued by the
city7 If so , what propottion , if any ,
is levied on property abutting ? "
No improvement bonds ( or street
paving arc now issued ; when bonds
bonds were issued the entire issue ,
which would bo the cost of paving ,
was levied upon the property abut
ting , or rather , if tliero wus nn issue
for paving , the bonds were paid off
by assessing the abutting property on
the several streets paved. At present
the law obliges the property owners
to pay in two-thirds of the cost before
the work is commenced. Hut this act
was passed be-causo public improve-
mcnts were being pushed too rapidly.
Third , The material URod in paving
and which hns proved most satisfac
tory. "
1 consider the granite block pavement -
mont thu best and cheapest pavement
in USD in the end. In this city we
continue to use cobble stones for side
streets , but 1 believe.1 , even lor such
streets , at the present price of granite
hero , it would bo ndvisablo to use
granite. The asplmlt pavement , as
laid by the Abbott company , has
qtiiU a good reputation in Washing
ton , Hntfalo and Columbus , Ohio , and
other places. This company has done
some excellent work hero.
Respectfully Yours ,
lion. AT\N
MOIIB OONFIUMATIO.V.
Mr. Ilosowater nlpo utnted that the
city engineer of DCS Moiiios , who
hud just loturned from n trip e.xst tu
investigate the paving question , re
ported that ho could lay down the
granite blocks in that city at 81 5C
per yard , or 50 cents u foot , and thu
cedar blocks at § 1.50 per yaid. They
could probably bo laid down in Omu-
ha just as cheaply.
AUOUT DATA.
Mr. Popploton asked if there were
no detailed facts accompanying the
report of the committee. The point
to bo got at was whether the report
should bo adopted or not , and how
waa the meeting to airivo at any con
clusion when they had not participat
ed in the piulimimiry discutBions of
the committee , and merely had their
conclusions without the data.
A rr.w
Mr. Ilorbach leplieel that they had
had a good dual of daU furnished
them , much of it by men of this city ,
Mr. Drext-l , fur instance , in regard to
the macadam. He gave some i'mnres
on thi < and also on tlio asphaltum ,
claiming that the lattui would cost
about SI ! per yard.
TUB ASl'lIAJ.T AllK.Yf.
Our well known follow-citi/en , Mr.
ClmrliM E. Squires , inado .some bcnsi-
bhi remarks in favor of hid p ivnm
material. Ho had liguied on St.
Loins as a basis for its manufacture in
Omaha , and found that it could bo
laid down for about $2.7-r > or less pel-
yard. This was on tlio basis of a
macadam foundation about four inches
thick. The only addition-d cost
would bo the excavation and fuel.
When they wanted figures on asphalt
Charlie intimated that he would bring
them down to hard pan.
WHAT AltE WK HE11E Foil ?
Mr. UoscwAtor suggested that tlu
meeting had been called to hear the
report of the committee on paving
and to ascertain wha + legislation wae
needed to secure well p < tved streets in
the shortest timo. How much thu
bonded indebtedness was to bo and
how much was to bo levied against
abutting property was principally what
tlio Douglas county delegation hael
boon invited to hoar , lie thought
that the question should be discusacel
in such a manner that when our mem.
hots came to vote in the legislature
they c.mld do so intelligently.
HAM'M.l , ON DKUK.
T. S. IlascaM liked the report ,
Tlie-ro was business and scnso both n
it. Ho jueh'ed th.it the basis on whicl
the onu-third bonds was reached was
probably the proportion formed bj
the intersection of the streets. Tlu
plan suggested would reduce the pel
cent of taxation- and the Miusour
Pacific , which would bo hero ii
March , would open up a limestone
country which would bo equal to am
in the United States. Mr. Hascal
proceeded to discuss the virtues ol
macadam and said that wood ougln
never to bo thought of nt all. Hi
objected to the clause that the streets
should only be paved on a vote of tlu
majority. Ho favored an urgency
clause , to bo used when the publii
didn't know just what really wai
needed.
HOWK S LKTTKIt.
A letter tvns read from Scnatoi
Howe , regretting that ho could no' '
bo present , but pledged himself ti
work for whatever the board and citi
zeiis should eventually determine ti
bo the best plan.

ONLY ONE CASE.
The Small Pox Scare la Chocked
Qimrantlno BoRiiIattons.
The natural nlnrm which was felt
throughout that portion of the city
\vhero the case of small pox was re
ported on Saturday has in a great
degree abated , Thu disease has been
confined to ono case , that of Noilson ,
and it is now thought that the danger
pf infection is no longer to bo feared
if ordinary precautions are taken. No
other cases are nt present known to
exist in the city.
A BKK reporter called upon Dr.
Loiaonring yesterday , the latter said
"You may assure the public that all
precautions have been taken to check
the spend of the disease. The patient
is quarantined up stairs in thu house ,
with a man who has had the small-pox
to nursohim , and thu family is quar
antined below "
"Do you think this sudden change
of weather will aiFect the spread of
the disease I"
"Cold weather is generally regarded
ns favorable for its suppression. "
"Aro there any other cases in town
that have been reported i"
"No. There is of course n good
deal of excitement , but I think this is
the only case which has been develop
ed so far. "
Tlio doctor laughed heartily at the
sudden cessation of calls on him for
vaccination , which ho said wa pro
bably caused by the fact that ho was
known to bo in charge of this case.
He said that he had had but ono cull
yesterday nnd tlia' was from
nn Irish woman who wanted
her entire family vaccinated. She was
told that there was no virus t ) bo had
this morning and after trying to bull
doze the doctor , left in high dudgeon ,
threatening to report him for "re
fusing to do his duty that h < ! was paid

A mooting of the board of heulth ,

THE GERMAN THEATRE.
Farewell Performance of Alwlno Hoy-
nold In "Tho Tricky aoubrotto. "
Sunday evening Miss Alwino Hoy-
lold gave her fifth and last perform
ance in Omaha before a largo and np-
ireciativo nudionco , the piece repre
sented being "The Tricky Sonbrette ,
or tlio Orent Benefactress. " Thu
> ioco itsolt was far fetched in the ox-
rome nnd did not nll'ord any of the
company a good opportunity for dis
playing their abilities to their full ox-
cut.
cut.Miss
Miss Alwino Hoynold sustained the
role of Adolphine , a servant , in her
nest piquant style , and it must be
ulmittod that nil through the piece
icr acting was irresistibly funny. She
was repeatedly recalled.
Mr. Ponner showed up well in t''e.
character of Robert , and Mr. Lindo-
matin as 1'iilvcr , a hotel porter , dis
played much ability in the handling
jf his part.
Mr. llaucknmde n cnpitnlKroschke ,
n sort of freight agent , and ho was
well received. Mr. Grossman , ns
Peter Schlnuch , played with his ac
customed ability , and it was surpris
ing to witness tlio agility ho can still
display when occasion warrants it.
Miss Thiessi ji , ns Rose , sustained
her part with case and grace nnd Mr.
LutHch did bin best in the personifica
tion of lluloir , : i workman.
The character of Schwaii , n book-
kecuor , wus assigned to Mr. Kuester
nnd ho acteel in a very pleasing man
ner.
ner.Mrs. . Grossman enacted her part ex
cellently and Miss Buschmntin wns
charming in the role of Mrs. Flitter-
ich.
ich.Miss
Miss Grossman personated Louise
with great success.
Mr. Wittig , in the two characters of
Finto and Meyer , was very tolerable ,
ind nil the minor parts wore ollicient-
y sustained.
Miss Reynold's make-up on this oc
casion wns immense. Her dresses nre
certainly very botutiful and had n
splendid ellect.
The indefatigable Stoinhnuscr pre
sided over the orchestral nrrango-
iient.
At the conclusion of the play there
vns the usual Terpsichorcan exorcises
n whish nil joined , policeman in
