It seems to be settled that no more wooden block pavements will be 

 laid in Kaltlmore, the mayor and other municipal officials being opposed 

 10 that kind of pavement, notwithstanding Jts advantages. Some years 

 ago the streets around the courthouse were paved with wooden blocks in 

 order to deaden the noise of vehicle traffic, but as some of the streets 

 have sharp inclines, they proved almost Impracticable for horses in snowy 

 vvi'ather. Even during rain storms horses would fall, and It became 

 necessary to sprinkle sand or ashes during every storm. It is said that 

 llie city has spent .$1,700 a year for sanding such pavements.
