On motion , the council wont Ini committee of the whole with Oonncl man Woodworth in the chair There was a general dlecusslon i the subject concerning which so mu ( haa been published of tate , nnd Oil Engineer Rcsawator presented a pr file nnd estimate of filling In Nloholi street from Twenty.Brat to F.f-eenl street , which would require 10,0 ( yards , there being an ample amoni of earth on the stroat for the purpos Mr. Grctahton , chairman of tl board of public works , being prosen was called upon to state whether , If should ba determined to fill the stroo as proposed , ho would fool that 1 could do co without going throug the routine of advertising for bid etc. etc.Mr. .

Mr. II as call then offered the folloT Ing resolution. UKSOLVKD , Thav. the board of pnbl works proceed without delay to hai filled with dirt the old channel i North Omaha crook , where the ssn crones Eighteenth street , botwec Izird and Nicholas streets ; that aa s emergency exists requiring said fi'Hn to bo done Immediately , In order t nvcid damage * , the said hoard fir hereby authorized to proceed will said uotk without advertising for bid to do eald work ; alen RESOLVED , Tnat as said work is ti be done In order to comp'oto the work ing of tha sewers on Nicholas street that the coot of the same bo paid ( rot the funds set apart for tnalntalnln sewers In the said North Ojiaha creel and on said Nicholas street. On motion the committee rose am reported as above , which report wa adopted. Adjourned , OMAHA'S BOULEVARD. Reasons Why it Should Rot bi Paved with Belgian Block- Eximp'es Cited from Espori enco Elsewhere. To the Editor ol Tno Bcc : Somu weeks ago it wai underatooi that the majority o ! the property owners on Sixteenth street had ttgnoc a petition to the city council to havi ihelr Btroot paved with aiplmltuai thi eamoaa Douglas street. There are some tumors abroad nov that some of those people have beoi Inclined to withdraw tholr signatures and that there Is soma danger of hav Ing this street paved with Bjlglai block. If this is so It will bs very un fortunate. Sixteenth street Is likely to becom ono of the moat Important thoroughfares faros in the city , and ono of the prin clpal drives into the country , AI know who have had any experience 1 paved cities , that stone block pave ment is the very worst over which light rig can be driven , and it is no safe to drlvo over it in such a convoj ance faster than a walk , These whi llvo in New York and keep horsei keep them two miles np towr and take the street can up beoaus they dare not run their own horsoe If there was any advantage In th atone block there would bo som excuse for us bringing It hero thre hundred miles and puling it down but thrre is none. The advocate * sa it can ba lifted and replaced to effdO repairs in water or gas pipes wit much less damage than the aaphaltuc and can bo replaced exactly as it wae This la exactly the opposite of th truth. In a atone country such a Scotland , where the earth is so full c stone that the farmer after plowln has first to gather a plentiful crop c stones before doing anything else there is naturally n goo foundation for either maeidaii or stone block but oven thor the ( tone block always sink after being rolatd when a trench ha bson dug , and it is the custom to re lay it on a ridge of five or six Incho in height aud lot It gradually got bac to the level. But they have gren trouble as it often oiuka In hollow and has to bo rolald again. 0 conrso , hero the difficulty is greatl ; augmented , as there la practically n bottom to our soil if the water I allowed to roach it , and the atou blocks there is no doubt whatuve would actually tumble into holes. 0 Tenth street before the thing had bco down a week they had some experlonc of this , and will soon have more. in ! the opponents of aaphatum say If yo break up the asphaltum to dig a tronc yc.u cannot make a good join. Th answer to that IF , that In the bloc fr m Fifteenth to Sixteenth on Dooj las there Is six or seven joins , an they are so perfect that no ono ha noticed them. Tno aaphaltnm was only laid In th day tlmo , and was cold nnd haid as : It had been laid for years , each more Ing when they commencei agalr But the join is perfect and can enl bo seen on very close examination , may also say that this concrete an asphaltum was laid over at least fivoc six new-made trenches , where th property owners had jast laid gas an water pipes , not one of which tronche have ever given way In the sllghtesi That there should be any oppositlo to this pavement at all is remarkabl and only to be ascribed to the genon Ignorance on the subject. The fact I that paving la comparatively a ne science , all we know of it having bee learned In the last ten or twelve yean Formerly they thought little o nothing of foundation ; now It is know to bo of the first importanc and in an alluvial country like th ! there la only ono foundation that oa bo nsod , because it keeps the watc away , and that is concrete. Anotht objection made to the asphaltnm i that It will not wear as well as granlti Ic wears better and Is laid at less c : penso. I saw a piece of this laid o Fifth avenue ton or twelve years ag < and there Is not yet the mark of wheel on it. Any one who know anything of the onoroio B traffic thoi must admit that if It lasts there to years , it ought to last 100 years hen I regret extremely taking npsomuc of your valuable space on tbli aubjec but It Is of vast importance to th community. Only give us this beai tlfnl asphaltnm pavement , and wll our already natural advantages , v will have the cleanest and most beaui ful city ID America.N N , B. FALCONBR. ANNUAL COUNCIL.
