The matter of pavements in Chicago is in some respects a recent one, as compared with some eastern cities. Articles on New York 100 years ago state that that city was tolerably well paved; probably Philadelphia and Boston were also; certainly, Albany was, at the time of Fulton's first trip with his steamboat. Sixty years ago, however, Chicago had no pavements except plank and graveled roads, though in 1860 it was a city of 100 000 inhabitants. The condition of the streets can easily be imagined.
