" For the cause that lpcks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.'

Since the appearance of our leader on Monday last with reference to asphalt ing as the suitable material for making diii1 footpaths, we have been made aware of a very general feeling in favour of that substance. A large number of those affected by the con templated action of the City Council have expressed to us their strong desire to at once proceed with as phalting, if the Council will only give their consent to accepting asphalt in stead of stone nagging, and have pro tested against the unreasonableness of imposing such a burthen upon occuh piers and owners as stone-flagging would entail. We would, in -the strongest terms, urge that the Council- should take this sub ject into consideration on the very earliest opportunity. The summer is now at hand, during which the work of asphalting can be most satisfactorily performed. The great bugbear which seems to .frighten people,., in the sup posed melting of the asphalt under foot when subjected to the rays of an Auckland sun, can be at once ar raigned at the bar of public, opinion, and if it substantiates its claim to" con sideration, can afford an opportunity to the wiseacres to say, " I told you so." We do trust that some sensible member will bring this subject up a< the first meeting of the Council, antl let it at lenst be seen who they are that persist in forcing this unnecessary expense on the city. • If; is 'an unquestioned fact that asphalt can be made absolutely more durable than stone, and its excellence is simply a question of es:peuse. Tlir 'quality of the materials, the thickness or-.theJsti^atum, and other copsidera tions, make'" the various" qualities of asphalt as widely different as does Auckland brick differ from Aberdeen granite ; and those who talk of asphalt being bad material for sidewalks simply do not know what they are talking about. We are aware that there are those prepared at once to proceed with portions of asphalting, mainly to convince the Council of its superiority to flag paving, and that, subject to the decision of the Council, arrangements are made with a thoroughly competent and experi enced asphalter to submit at once a portion of the footpath to the scrutiny of the Council.
