Below Is an article written by a very prominent lumberman for tho American Lumborman: In London, where I put In ten. days, I spont a great deal of my tlmo In vestigating tho paving business In company with tho foreman of the Improved Wood Block Paving Com pany of London. He was superin tending the relaying of wood blocks in Trafalgar Square, the heaviest itravolod thorougfare In the world. The old wood block pavement had been in nervlco for over fourtoen years and1 the surface was still per fectly smooth, but on account of not giving the stroot a. propor crown for drainage and because tho heavy traf fto on either sldo had worn tho pavo mont down oomowhnt, so that tho Water could not readily drain to tho curb, It had boon decided to renew the pavement. All of tho blocks re moved worn In u porfoet state of pres ervation. All of these features Impressed roe deeply and led mo to make a thorough Investigation of tins matter. The forman of this company tfald that this people were laying wood block pnvemonts In every country In Eur opo. And while tho initial cost Is perhaps from 26 to 30 per cent higher than for stone, asphalt or concrete, ttta life of tho pavemont In from 200 to 300 per cont longer, and In addi tion to this It Is absolutely nolsolcss and dustloss, and tho fact that wood blocks wore being rolald wab ovldonco enough that It Is tho best typa of mat erial to bo usod. Tho lumber used la fir brought from Norway ana uussia ana cm from small trees, but unlike our small growth tlmbor, tho grain of the Nor way nnd Russian fir Is very closo, not less than seven or olght to tho Inch. Tho blocks aro troated with croosoto JiiBt an wo do over hero. My Informant threw up his hands when I told him how wo laid wood block pavement over bore and said wo worn twenty-five years behind tho times. Bo far as tho concrete base Is concerned the practice la about the aame.but whera wo lay a sand and concroto cushion and then place the blocks on top of that, In Europe they put in tho concrete foundation and glvo it a smooth top lUe a sidewalk with u suioth crown to permit perfect drainage, but use no cushion. Tho blocks are laid right on the flat, nard surface of tho baeo and' tho cushion is In tho block Itself. Tho theory In Europe Is thut you muse have a foun dation that will not shift. The blocks being sawed absolutely even to be gin with, they would wear even under any amount of traffic until they aro practically gone, but when you begin to put a sand cushion uuder the blocks and the sand washta away, you aro starting something that spoils ruli to your pavement. Tlio foreign wood block pavements are put down with a graduated scale of guarantees. A 4-Inch block car ries a 10-year guarantee and a C 1-4-Inch block is guarkiiteed for fifteen yours. Unquestionably, thr'.r greatest op portunity Ilea In tho development of tho wood-block Industry, and' it la up to overy citizen on the coast to In- fttrnp.t hlu nltv cnnnrtlninfi. pnnntv - .w w.w w.... , v..i4 HOLD GOOD ROAD MEETING k. conimiBsionom ana omor aiunoriiien l p lu whom tho power to award con (racta tor paving is vearea, to see to t that tho taxpayers' money Is not tent to all parts of the world for other kinds of paving material but spont hero ut home for wood blocks, tho very finest material for BucJi use In the world. I say this should not bo dono from puroly patriotic motives but becauBo it Is sound economy. It is safe to say that on tho Const from San Diego to British Columbia, and wost of tho Rockies, fully 1000 . m(los of paving 1b laid every yoar. 1 si otroet forty feet wide from ourb to rinb will cake from 800,000 to 1,- 00000 feet of lumber in the form of t blocks for each mllo. Should eota be improved with this mat it would moan & consumption of cally 1,000,000,000 feteof lum- each year right in our own door 'd and if you were to take Into sunt the amount of paving dono mo east anu imuaie wear, . ldn't be ublo to mako blocks fast . .

Wo could do JuBt what this company In Innrlrm la Mnllll' tinvoioi) an UI1UI- mouoly profltoOle business nnd tho wood blocks would nbsorb a great bulk of our raw material for which we get Httlo or nothing now. Tho common or lower grades of lumber mako Just as good paving blocks as tho clear and where wo are using on ly fifteen to twonty per con.t of tho timber now for clear lumbor wo would lncrcaso this to fully eighty per cent of tho log If wo converted tho realduo Into wood blocks. It would not only reawaken: tho Btagnnnt lumbor industry but Inas much as about sovonty-fivd per cent or tho woodi block paving business would bo labor, It would mean, the employment of, n mat army of men at good wages.
