"
pipes under the best system of wood paving bear a pro-
portion of scarcely one-sixth to those previously oc-
curring ; and that recent improvements in grooving the

tistical data, the lecturer produced lists of the quantities
laid down, and the prices charged, furnished by the re-
spective parties, from which it appears that Mr. Stead
has 8,710 square yards, superficial measurement, in va-
rious parts of London, the Metropolitan Company
