Initial cost, length of service, cost
of upkeep and length of time required
to effect the necessary repairs are
the vital factors in selecting a pav—
ing material, according to Clifford
M. Pickney, head of the Bureau of
Engineering, New York City.
And the consideration of all these
factors has made the New York Bur-
eau of Engineering reach thr- deci-
sion that asphalt gives the best serv-
ice for city roads, where the traffic is
heavy and practically constant, and
where closing a street, when a new
pavement is required, {or any length
31' time, leads to loss of time and
money to the traveling public and
causes rcat annoyance.
“lVe gave found that when repairs
are necessary in one of the streets,
we do not have to close that block
to traffic in many instances, or if we
do that we can repair a block a day
and open it for traffic when the men
finish their work at night, if the
pavements arc of asphalt,” says Mr.
inckncy. “VVben the street is paved
with another material, it is different.
Then we have to close the block to
traffic until We can remove the old
and worn-out pavement and replace
it with new.

.American Valuation Plan .
Can be EasilyAdmz'm'stere
Financial Expert, Making In-
vestigation for Senate Fi-
nance Committee, Says New
Systmis Feasible.
The American Valuation plan of
assessing import duties. as provided
in the pending Fordney tariff bill, is
possible of administration and the only
feasible means of compiling a tarifl
that will afford adequate protection
to the American manufacturer. ac-
cording to J. B. Reynolds. former as-
sistant Secretary of the Treasury and
now director of valuation investiga-
tions for the Senate Finance Commit-
tee. ,
“There is nothing uncanny, nothing
mysterious and nothing at all of a.
tremendously unusual or out-of-the-
wny nature about Amerim Valua-
tion." Mr. Reynolds says. "l‘oday.
when imports are brought into this
country they are assessed on the basis .
of the value in foreign countries. The
invoice is presented and on that the
importer puts his value.
invoices Practically Worthless
"These invoices—to give them all the?
credit that they are entitled to—'-in the
average case are worth a little less.
perhaps. than the paper on which
they are printed. Now. I say. that
after a long experience in handling
invoices. and by that I mean that the
certification that the consul abroad has
to make amounts to nothing. The in-
.Voices go through on the day before
a ship sails; they go into a consular
office in any part of the world where
there is a. large business between that
country and the United States. You
lave a. perfect string of people filing
in with invoices to get the invoice 03
ron the next boat with the automatic
Ismxmg of a stamp. It is a matter of
a clerlq signing the consul‘s name. And
all that it does is to certify that that
invoice is on the right colored paper,
is made out in the right legal form,
and nothing else.
“There is a proposition now put up
against that. It seems to me it is a
very simple one. Instead of putting
the duties, assessing the ad valorem
duties which are duties assessed on
the value of goods. on the foreign or
invoice value, the proposition is to put
those duties on the value of the goods
in the United States.
. "Tho value of the goods in the United
State. is not an unknown quantity.
It can be found. All the books. all
the papers- ot the manufacturers. the
jobber-s and the sellers of every kind.
are at the disposal of the Government.
Prices are known in this country.
We are dealing with an absolutely
known and certain proposition and.
the whole idea. 'i.s iimpb that where
there is an ad valor-cm rate of duty
on goods. we do noon-y to assess this
on the foreign value. which is largely
