The . Journal Will you kindly permit

tliat I might .set forth a fef facta con
cerning a aubject that Is of vital inter
est to every taxpayer In the city of
Portland? On page 17 In th Issue of
The Journal of May t, 1908, I read that
the Manufacturers' association of Port'
land adopted resolutions requesting the
city council to Instruct the city engi
neer to specify Oregon products In pre
paring his specifications for street Im
provements wherever - possible and to
rerrain rrom calling ror untried mate,

factories' who do not in any way con.

X have nothing at this time to -say
concerning the use. or adaptability of
Belgian blocks as a paving material
other than to say that if Portland had
' a few streets paved with the same brick
that Seattle's heavy traffic streets are
paved with, the property ""owners, the
team owners, and- the- cltlsens in gen-
eral -would soon be of the same mind
here as in Seattle, that real vitrified
brick is preferable to stone blocks. During-
the past 10 or, 12 years certain
streets tn ' Portland- were paved - with
brick which was either "made in Ore-

I have before me 'copies of letters
from the engineering departments of
Cleveland, Ohio, St. Louis, - Missouri,
and Columbus. Ohio,-wherein-Is stated
that during tne past three years the
city of Cleveland laid about 75 miles of
pavement, -three miles of which, were
asphalt, two miles of limestone mac
adam, and 62 miles of brick pavement
In St. Louis, Missouri, during the same
period, 16 miles of asphalt were laid, 17
miles of bltuilthlc. six miles of granite
block and 44 miles .of vitrified brick. :
In Columbus. ' Ohio, during the same
period, 400,000 square yards' of asphalt
were laid, 176,000 square yards of stone
block, but of vitrified brick there-wers
laid 1,822.188 square yards. .
Now." lust a word In reference to this
so-called .-"untried- material mentioned I
In the resolutions passed by the Manufacturers'-
association a few days ago.
Let "tne quote a few lines from a letter
rrom tne city . engineer or eeaitie, in
Which? he says: -".; , - ,. -.
jJTn whnm It mw v concern: Tha cit
of Seattle has been using vitrified brlc

nv-Reiitcm Clav A Coal comDanv since

years. The "heaviest freight-traffic of
the city of Seattle is carried on ;er

cut to Dleces by laying , water mains.

street, railways, and has been subjected
to a very large amount of trottinc trar.'
fie by sharplv caulked horses.-
"As a result of this experience, we
have more recently paved ail or tne

with this same-material. We know of
no material for use Jh , street paving
which gives better returns for the
money than well selected brick." .
