This Company has been formed for the purpose of carrying
into effect a new invention as applied to various purposes of
construction, and more particularly to wood pavement, which
invention has been secured by patent. The carriage road in
front of Whitehall was paved in January last on this principle,
and now remains perfect, free from dust and mud, and not the
least slippery.
Pavement, on the same principle, has also been laid down
under the portico and marble arch at Buckingham Palace, and
in Oxford-street, and negotiations are pending for other works
to a great extent. Models' and reports as to the merits of the
invention, by surveyors and other competent persons, may be
seen at the Offices of the Company as above.

To the Directors of the Metropolitan P“tent Wood Pavement
Company.
Gentlemen—As Surveyor to the Commissioners for Paving
the Regent's-park, Regent-street, and Whitehall districts, by
whose order the wood pavement on the above principle has been
laid down at Whitehall, and in reply to your note requesting my
opinion of its merits, I have to inform you that the work has not
only given me and the Commissioners entire satisfaction, but has
excited the admiration of the public generally. I have no
doubt but this mode of pavement will ba universally adopted,
as it is not only free from noise and mud, but the wear and tear
of public and other conveyances will be greatly reduced. The
wood pavement laid down at Whitehall stands firmly, and is in
as good condition as the first day it was laid down.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
J. TOOGOOD.

To the Directers of the Metropolitan Patent Wood Pavemeni
Company.

Gentlemen,—ln reply to yo;r application to me for a certi-
ficate of my opinion of the Wood Pavement laid down► by your
Company in various parts of London, I have much pleasure in
bearing testimony to its evenness of surface, as well as to its
compactness and solidity, and I am sure when it comes to be
generally adopted, the wear and tear of horses and carriages
will be greatly reduced. As Manager of the London Convey-
ance Company, who are Proprietors of Omnibuses, running be-
tween the Nightingale Tavern, and Elephant and Castle, I
have remarked that the draft is less for horses, when going over
your experimental pavement at Whitehall ; and I think the
same sort of paving would be found much superior to all others
in stable stalls and yards.
Hoping to see it generally adopted,
I remain, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
ROBERT BLORE,
Manager to the " London Conveyance Company."
