SAID TO BE THEJEST YET Macon’s Streets May be Like Those of Paris and London. WOODEN BLOCKS Said to be the Most Satisfactory- Wooden Paving Material What is Said Os It. Macon has so far heard something about every paving material in use, but she has not yet hoard much of the Williams block pavement, with which the “noise less treets of Paris” and of London are paved. But she is to hear of this pave ment, and if the claims made by Captain John H.Grant and W. P. Laramore, of At lanta, who are here in the interests of this material are true, then Macon is to be given an opportunity to pave her streets with -the best, most noiseless and most durable pavement known to modern times. While very few 'people are acquainted with the merits of the Williams block pavement, it must -be tma.gined that it is a new, untried material. Messrs. Grant and Larramore came -to Macon fully pre pared to prove the marits of the Williams block pavement, and to allow that no other material equals it It is in use in Paris, in London, in San Francisco and a great many other places, and it is said to have stood the test of years. Atlanta is oi.e of the first cities 'this side of the Rooky Mountains to try -the wooden blocks, and it is said the peo ple of that city now give this material preference. The Atlanta Journal recently contained the following in reference to the .work in that city: It now looks as if the repaving of Wash ington street from Alabama to Woodward avenue will be -put through without any unnecessary delay. Mr. Green B. Adair, junior councilman from the Second ward, who is a resident of that popular thoroughfare, has taken the matter in hand. He is now -conferring ■with City Attorney Anderson in regard to the matter, and the latter is of the opin ion that all that will be necessary is -the re-introduction and -passage by the general council of the former ordinance ordering the taking up of -the Ibelgian blocks and the laying down of the -new pavement. When the ordinance was -passed last year there were a number of property owners who objected to the repaving of Washing ton street on the ground that it would en tail unnecessary expense upon a number of the property owners. The case was carried into the state courts, and finally reached the supreme court, where a decision was reached -a short -time ago in favor of the petitioners for repaving. WILL GO TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. “I have been designated as the man to put it through,” said Councilman Adair this morning, “and I am now in conference with Judge -Anderson regarding the proper course to pursue. He is of the opinion that the re-introduction of the -original -ordi nance will be the proper -thing to do, and if he decides upon that plan I shall follow his directions at the next meeting of coun cil. “If it is necessary to draw up a new or dinance to cover the -case, that will be done. At all events we are to put the ball in motion so -that at least five blocks of what we -consider the ‘hub’ of the city so far as public thorough-fares are con cerned, shall be properly paved. “I have lived on the corner where I now reside, facing Washington street, for twenty-two years, and I have just been calculating how much money I paid to the city in 'taxes during that period, and it amounts to upwards of $15,000. “I think, like many other property own ers, that we are jenti tied to a decent pave men. We are tired of the rough and noisy Belgian blocks. That portion of the street runs in front of the capitol of the state of Georgia, the -Girls’ High school building, the Second 'Baptist and Central Presbyterian churches. 'We ‘feel that we are due some recognition from the city, and that this beautiful highway, leading in front of some of the most important build ings in the city, and furnishing one of the most frequented drives in Atlanta, should receive deserved attention. NOISELESS MATERIAL. “The wooden blocks with which it is proposed to lay the five short blocks con templated in the ordinance, have been tried on North avenue from Williams to Peachtree street, and 'they have been found pre-eminently satisfactory. “The blocks are set in concrete with the joints broken, and cemented with a liquid solution of asphaltum and maltha, war ranted to be as durable and tenacious as the wood itself, and even mere so, and on top of the blocks there is laid one-eighth inches of asphalt, which makes a perfectly noiseless pavement, and one which is guar anteed for ten 5 ears. “With such a pavement laid on that por tion of Whitehall street, we will have one of the most beautiful driveways in Atlan ta, and we are anxious to have the work done, at the very earliest moment pos sible. The supreme court has decided in our favor, and it only remains for us to get the requisite authority from the general council to begin the work, and I feel con fident that there will be no further obstacle placed in tne way of our accomplishing the work.” The Atlanta Constitution, alluding to the completion of this work, said: The new paving on North avenue was completed yesterday. The street is now laid with 'Williams’ wooden 'blocks, and is one of the handsomest in the city. It is now open to the public for the first tim in several weeks. Messrs. Grant and Laramore have an abundance of testimony to offer council in •favor cf the 'Williams blocks, and they say they are prepared to give Macon a pave ment that will at once include all the qual ities of economy, durability, noiselessness and smoothness.

J., Feb. 14.—A small, mild mannered man named Ayers, who labors in a little shop at the foot of Richmond street, asserts that he has solved the problem of transmutation of base metals into gold. “It may be claimed that I cannot manu facture gold.” he said, “bat I manufacture a metal that is of the same specific gravity as gold, that responds to every test that gold will answer, and that in chemical combination forms the same salts as are formed by gold. It is exactly of the ap pearance of gold, in fact it is gold. “My scheme is -to effect a combination of aluminum and copper. These two metals will not ordinarily mix, but I have suc ceeded in forming them into a metal by the aid of certain processes and chemical that must remain secret for a time. The effect of the combination Is a metal that will an swer all the purposes that gold is put to, one that will stand all the tests of 12-karat gold, and possibly of 14-karat gold.’ MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 17 1898.

Dispatches received in the city this moring convey the intelligence that the steamer City of Macon had been sighted off harbor at the drawbridge of the South ern railway down the Oemulgee river yes terday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The time consumed by the beat, to say nothing of the fuel, was only two hours, which is a record breaker. Capt. Miller hailed that all was snug beneath decks and is making a successful trip to the seashore. The gentlemen who have taken the ini tiative in the movement for river naviga tion are naturally proud over the success of themovement. The boat made the first trip all right, but other -boats have done that one week within the last few years, but they never came back. It has been the theory of the govern ment officials all the time that navigation on the Oemulgee was practical. Something like $300,000 has been spent in appropria tions for the deepening of the channel be tween this point and Brunswick, and an other appropriation has been made. Macon has always been looked upon as the head of navigation for the Oemulgee river, and the Southern railway, seme years ago, was obliged to put in a draw bridge where the road crosses the river some three miles below the city. But the trouble has been that the right kind of .boat has never been put upon the river until within the last year the Macon Navigation Company was organized, and a boat was built which, carrying a full cargo, would notdraw mere than two and a half feet of water. Even then 'the Skeptics said that the “City of Macon” might reach Brunswick, but that she would most certainly stick on a sand bank on the way up. Doubt as to the practicability of the navigation of the Oemulgee has been scat tered to the four winds. The 'merchants are enthusiastic, and they have good rea son for their enthusiasm. Leaving out the question of how much freight the “City of Macon” can carry (and she can carry 500 tons), it has been demonstrated that under the most adverse conditions the trip to the sea and back again, giving time for loading at both points, can be made inside of ten days. With a fleet of boats on the river two boats can reach iMacon every week, and a vast amount of heavy freight can be carried. But the successful navigation of the Oe mulgee, demonstrated by the 'Navigation company, assures Macon of another thing, and that is river rates. It is estimated that Macon spends some thing like $2,500,000 a year for freight. With the reduction consequent upon the granting of river rates on the railroads, at least 10 per cent, on this gross outlay can be saved. Hence it can be seen that the trip made by the “City of Mancon” means a saving of at least $250,000 per annum to the merchants of the city of Mancon. The cost of the building of the “City of Macon was not more than $4,000. If throe more boats are built at a gross cost of $20,000, and suitable wharves are erected for $5,000, the investment will be a most excellent one for Macon. This fact is now appreciated by the peo ple generally. Wbat has hitherto been looked upon as a wild and impossible dream having become an established fact, Macon must be proportionately benefited. Captain Gillette, of the river and har borcorps of engineers, has been invited to visit Macon, and while here he will be en tertained by the Chamber of Commerce and the Macon Navigation Company. The plans in view will be shown to him in full, and as much depends upon his recommen dations, his visit is looked forward to with the greatest interest. It is probable that the Chamber of Ccm imeree will one day next month give a ban quet to celebrate the arrival of the “City of Macon” on her up trip, on which occa sion Mr. George A. Smith, to whose efforts the success of the .movement is largely due, will be the toast of the day. Mr. Smith has worked hard to bring about the result that was achieved when the boat was docked in Macon yesterday morning. He has been looked upon as an enthusiast, and has been made the butt of the joker, who thougnt that the mis takes of the past in the matter of draught of .the vessels would be repeated, and that the practical navigation of the Oemulgee could not be made an established fact. But this boat has worked under the most unfavorable auspices. 'She has made the trip both ways when the river was lower than it has been at a corresponding period ■for the last twenty-five years, and during ■an unprecedented drought.
