The City Knglneer mirdo n report on
the proposed proposition to pave Com
merce street with mesqiille blocks ns
follows:
rn.J. II h'r mil Mayor and Clt) Council.
Gentlemen: In compliance with reso
lution of May 10. 1841 1 have prepared
the enclosed plan specifications and es
timate of cost of wood block pavement
on Commerce street from Main plaza to
bridge over Snn Antonio river.
In view of the fact that tho estimate
is preliminary and the estimated assess
ments may be decreased but not in
creased I have llgureil the cost lit the
maximum mentioned In the petition of
property owners viz. ?H per foot front
or "bout Gil cents per square foot.
With regard to the form and construc
tion of the pavement I have endeavored
to utilize the experience of other cities
which shows that only in such localities
as have a suitable natural soil such ns
gravel clay or sand can a block pave
ment lie put on a foundation of sand or
broken stone with satisfactory results
Incases where the soil is spongy and
especially such subsoils as underlies
Commerce street n permanent nrtlflclnl
foundation Is necessary to preserve n
uniform surfaco of the street.
The life of nny pavement depends dl
rectly upon the stability of Its foiinilii
Hon which Is virtually the pavement
the blocks when used serve merely
n finish to perfect It lessen the rigidity
and lessen the noise of t rn llio. When
this fact Is disregarded the expenditure
of money becomes useless and block
pavements pronounced useless.
I have therefore specified a layer of
concrete tuut ueing in my opinion ine
best and cheapest In the end. This be
ing the tlrst pavement of the kind put
down In Ban Antonio and on a narrow
street which sustains the heaviest trot-
tic It becomes essential that It should
be permanent and Indestructible. .
Heavy trolllo on a narrow street Is
necessarily supported to n great extent
on unit portion next 10 ine curt) wnicn
should therefore be ns stronir asnnv
other part. For thla reason In the pro-
nosed nlan. I have omitted cutters.
other than than those formed bv the
lope of street nnd the curb thus avoid
ing ine weak point in ine joint between
the gutter nnd tho pavement without
sacrificing any of the advantages of a
cutter.
The support of the blocks being pro-
viiieij inr inncy iievices nnu paiemeti
shapes for the purpose of binding blocks
together and holdlnir eacli oilier In
place become an unnecessary Item of
expense ror mis reason l propose a
cyllnderlcal block from four Inches to
seven which Is the cheapest form and
equally durable.
The layer of sand between the blooks
and the concrete meets the objections
Buuieiiuica iiuiue lu u solid lounuation
by giving the surface a certain degree
or elasticity which Is desirable.

C. P. Ma tuck City Knglneer.
Tho estimated expense for the whole
work Is $i.:il'.i.'.(l at SIS per running
foot. The city's portion of that sum Is
Sll.O-.IS.KI. If the work can be done for
n less sum by contract the pro rata will
be returned to the property owners.
uoiton suggested mat it would lie as
well to make live Inches concrete one of
sand and six of block.
llelknan said the first thlntr be do-
teruilied was that this Is the best pave-
ment and then sec where tho money Is
coming from.
Story said the expense wns a great
deal less than ho thought It would be.
lie thought the Council should adopt It
nud go to work.
i.ngineer .Miiuack was called upon anil
said that a live Inch block wns Just us
serviceable as a six Inch block and
much more convenient to put down the
Interstices being much smaller lie
also gave it ns his opinion that blocks
wero prcicrunio to iispnaiium.

DISTRICT COURT.
Grand Jury CrnpaneleJ--JuJgs Noonan's Ad
dress
The Juno session oftho District court
opened tills morning tho grand Jury
bclngdiily cmpniieled and sworn. Judge
Noonnn In terse and Incisive language
placed the various responsibilities of the
grand Jurors before them. Ho alluded
briefly to the necessity of exercising n
nlco discrimination. Tho Judge also
laid before them what liu considered lo
good nnd faithful olllccr onu sincere
nnd conselentloiiB In tho performance of
his dutliM and stated that In the enso of
delinquency the only corrective was the
grand Jury. There were certain func-
tions nlloled lo each olllccr and If the
olllcer neglected to discharge those func-
tions It wns right that he should bo held
accountable and In this matter
pica of friendship should not ho
allowed to Intercede. Although they
might have been the means of that olll-
ccr's election nnd would be of his re-
election this must not Interfere. Judge
Noonnn said It was noticeable that In
inanv Instances tho officers wero very
lax In their behavior and showed an
apathy lis remedying certain glaring
evils. Although a great deal had been
accomplished still It would appear to n
superficial observer that It was a trav-
esty of Justice. They may Ignore the
laws relating to gambling but It Is only
for a time; the men pass away but the
laws remain. If this city Is to be one of
commercial note and to have n prop-
erly balanced social Intercourse and
Institutions of a like character
all these evils must be put in the
background. People coming from Eu-
rope and the Northern States are shock-
ed when they see these things. It
shocks their sense of propriety. The
learned Judge said ho mentioned these
matters Incidentally as an Incentive to
cause the removal of these evils.' Ami
the gentleman gave It as a reason why
every person. Juror or not should em-
brace those Ideas and see that they were
enforced. It might be said wby are not
these places gambling saloons and
bouses of prostitution licensed but ho
assured them It wns not for tho Jury to
consider the advisability of such a pro-
ccedlngordlscern why such a law should
not be passed. The existence of them Is
wronir. nnd the law has prohibited it.
Another question to be dealt with was
the class of men who steal. If this class
had no market fur the stolen property
there would be no Incentive to steal.
Now If they remove the cause they will
doawny with the thieves. It Is the sys-
tem that generates thieves nnd the
speaker said he did not know whether
they could remedy this matter but It
was worthy of their consideration.
They were then sworn In attendance on
the grand Jury and the court proceeded
to business.

The World's Exposition
Tho Commercial llulktlu Boston. Maia.
New Orleans Is peculiarly situated for
n large exposition of this kind. It will
draw towards us the business men of
Mexico and Central America. Then
again the South deserves It. Its busi-
ness men are making herculean efforts
to develop that part of our great contl-.
nent. We all gain by their efforts. Our
country will be richer' and stronger
when the exposition Is oxer and the
visitors have nil returned to their homes
to study over the Immense resources of
tho great unucveiopeu ooutii.

A Slight Misapprehension.
Tlurlloston Free Preea.
Last Sunday one of the pastors of the
little village of I'ownal was walking to
church when ho saw a man with his
coat off digging In his garden. The
good man beheld with grief and aston-
ishment and coming up to the fence
began to reolte In a solemn voice: "He-
member the Sabbath day tokeep It holy.
Six days thou shalt labor and do all thy
work "
"See here" said the man In the gar-
den looking up "be you talkln' to ine?"
" Yes my poor man I am."'
"Wal you .needn't worry about me
then. I ain't a-agoln' to do any work
I'm only diggln wo'oms; to go n-flahln'
with'."
Ijidles approve of your smoking
