XCry heaviest character. Tho city Wood block paving, to thoso who engineer of Chicago, under his Big are not familiar with the manner In nnture, some few yearr ago, stated which this paving is Installed In the t,nt fttu.r tlcso lIockB Mml been In present day, Is, on first tnouulit. anrvii.n r..r .. ..o.tn.i fiv. ,.,, (inlto apt to bo confused with tho old round block paving that was so commonly used for a number of years In tho Eastern and Central part of this country, these blocks being laid on a plank foundation and which pavement was ery un satisfactory on account of its uu evenness nfter having been in use for a short time under traffic. Tills is not so of tho Creosoted Wood Block paving ot today. Instead t.f using tho round block, tho modern Hlock Paving is made, usually of the dimensions ot four inches thick, four Inches wide and from six to ton Indies In length. Tliesb Blocks are manufactured from four-Inch plank, cross cut four Inches, and when laid they aro turned on edgo so as to be vertical with lite grain, which gives a wearing surface that will not allow them to splinter, mid the inoro traffic they have to bear, tho more compact they heroine. These blocks tire usually laid on a six-Inch concrete base In the business dis trict of cities, where trnfflc Is nt all heavy, iiud In the residence dis tricts, whore tho traffic Is not so se vere, on n four-Inch concrete base. There aro tunny who labor under the Impression that a Wood Block ' paving will not stand up under heavy traffic, In comparison with I vitrified brick, granite blocks, sheet I asphalt and similar hard surface I pavement. This you will find to j the contrary, absolutely, and on ? ?ou papers 1U .

In Chicago, a number of jchib ago, mo city ordered wood blocks to be laid on the Uush-Street tn nine, ior nn expel iniciii. Tills inane connects, over tlio Chicago uiver. the wholesale district with the rrelisht terminal depots, and It Is estimated that in a single day some 17.000 heavy freight trucks travel this bridge to and from tho depots. Tills Is about as severe a they were taken r.p for tho purposo of making observations as to the wearing qualities of this class of pavement, and that during the flvo years that they had been subjected to this sovero traffic, they only showed a wear of one-eighth inch, which he (the engineer), believed to be more compression than wenr. Tho result was that wood block pav ing was ordered, permanently, for the Bust Street Bridge, these same blocks that had already seen flvo years ot service all being relald on this bridge. In Boston Mass., some years ago, nn experiment was made ns a test with different kinds of pavonieut. On Tremont Street, which Is, no doubt, tho main business street ot that city, and tho most heavily travelled of nny somo four or flvo blocks of wood blocks were laid on one side of tho street nnd a hard surfaco pavement for the sumo distance on tho other side of tho street. At tho end of seven years service, both pavements wero taken up, on account of tho city changing the grado qf this street, slightly, and a comparison of thoso pnvenients, was mnilo nt that time. Tho city engineer of Bos ton stntes that during tho seven years of service the bard surfaco pavement had been renowed to tho extent of I1C per cent of tho orlglnnl amount laid, while there had not been ono cent of expenditure on the wood blocks during thnt period. When this street was brought to tho propor grndo nnd pnvomonts wero again Installed tho samo blocks tint again installed tho samo blocks that had already seen seven years of ser- vlco wore relald In this street, and blocks wero also put in on tho other sldo of tho street to replace tho hard surfaco pavement. In Balltlmore, Mil,, several years ago, In fact some time before tho ter rible fire, which swept most of the business districts of that city, wood blocks wero laid In several of their business street. Somo officials of the larger cltlos of this country, at tho tlmo this pavement was laid, advanc ed the Idea that In case of a largo Tiro In u city where wood blocks wero laid, this pavement would be utterly ruined. Unfortunately, It fell to tho lot of the city of Haiti moro to disprove this idea. It Is staled by city officials of Baltimore wmi during this terrlblo flro In run timbers, olc, which wero fiercely1""0 of ,,l Prominent lumbermen on I !.... r..n ...... .. ill... ft. ...in .... .. .... burning, roll Into thoso streets and they presumed that this pavement would no totally ruined, but such was not the case. They did find that on tho surfaco of thoso wood blocks In places, small holes nnd been cnten Into tho blocks, by flro, but that tiioso same blocks wero simply taken ' n,uiiij IIIKeil up mid relald, turning thorn ovor nnd ii ii 1 1) In ill...... .1 . putting thorn down again, with the uurneii surfacos bioxt to tin. , croto base. Tliono abnvo IhbIh-os " " MMU IIIH,(l'eS havo simply boon cited in nimw ,,J of tho oMromo tests to whlcli wood block pavoiiionts havo been subject ed and under which conditions they have shown their worth In this con 'auction. Creosoted wood blocks do not pul vorlzo or t-hlp when laid according to tho modem methods, as do tho vitrified brick, granite blocks or ' hard surfaco pnvenionts, ko common ly used up to tho tlmo of the Intro dilution of wood blocks. I SoveVal yoar ago, and In fact up to within about a year ago, tho creo soted wood blocks bad usually been t laid In tho following manner: A six Inch concrete slush baso on top of which there was placed a ono men Kinii cushion on which tho blocks wore placed.

They found that In sevoral places this sand cush ion had a tendency to shift and mnko an uneven surfuco, to somo oxtont, In places, nnd rotalned molsturo under tho blocks. Tlioy have, therefore, I changed this system, In tho more .modern methods, making the six Inch onrrote base with a hard smooth finish Ion coat of commit and before placing the blocks In po sition, which aro laid at an angle of about 07 ilngreos from tho curb to avoid any buckling, a thin floating of hot pltoh Is spread over this st smooth, concrete Vurfujeo rand tho blocks set In this pitch This nllows no shifting ot the blocks nor is there I . .. any unmiity or tlio surface becoming V?ovon M,u,cr 1,C11V- tttc. ns the -..ww.,., 1'...v..i..i.j iuisl uiiittiy on tho cement base.

The city or Minneapolis, Minn., wns practically one of the first cities In this country to uso, extensively, tho creosoted wood block paving, and each year In this city thero Is a heavy, steady Increased domand of tho business men and taxpayers for this kind of pavement. This Is also true In nit tho cities, nnt n.,u- r this country, but of all tho world, u """ "l Ul UU IIIO Wfirlll.l" n " n .."i-it. i imiiui whero this class of paving lias been ltlRfn1li.il A n. n . . -" " lireseni uinjo, in .Minneapolis, they have nomothlmr over 1,250,000 vnrds nr fi,i ,.i block paving, nnd, without any doubt this city will replnco practically all of tho hard surfaco paving, which ro mnliiB In somo parts of tho business district, with wood blocks, when their present contracts, with tho hard surfaco paving companies ex pire. There Is nbsolutoly no argument thnt can bo advanced In favor of any other kind of paving thnt can compare, In n way, with the ninny qualities of creosoted wood block paving. It Is noiseless, easy to keep clean, most sanitary on account of tho creosoto oil used In treating the blocks, and It Is, by far, tho loaBt expensive for upkeep of any paving known today. In cities, that nro having n steady, healthy growth In duveloiimunt. this wood block pavement Is surely tho meat ono to uo used, as In cities whero they nro constantly digging up tho streots for extending or Im proving street rnllway systoms, sow ago systems, gas and water imiiIiib, and tho like, a creosoted block pavement can be removed front tho Br-'-,. wnuo it city Is undergoing ,,C8 improvements, and tho samo street, while it city Is undergolnir wood blocks reset In tho streot, nf ter these Improvements nro complet ed, without destroying tho pavement, except that portion of tho concrete baso which Is lorn up for these Im provomonts and the labor of taking these blocks up ami relaying them again. Whereas, In tho case of a shunt asphalt or similar hnrd sur faco pavuniont, this portion of tho street pavement, where tho Improve incuts aro going on, Is absolutely destroyed and 'new material must bo put In place or samo, and, nt tho best, makes a patched up Job, which Is unsightly and gives an uiiuveness to tho pavement Probably tho greatest Industry on tho Parlflo coast today Is tho luiii- iier industry. It has been said by tho Paclflo coast that If wood blocks wero used, covering paving contracts which would bo let this year in the cities, It would lake several ot the I. ,... ... it i.. .... .,.,.. , ""n"1 mint uu tins coast, wiin llielri uu tiaciiios, cutting wood blocks In order to supply tho domand.
