This Company has been formed for paving the Metropolis
and twenty miles round, with wood. Specimens of the prin-
t'Ple have been laid down at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace,
1114:Part of Oxford-street, between Wells-street and Newman-
street, which have proved its superiority over every other mode
;I wood pavement hitherto adopted. From authentic returns,
DnnaPPears the paving-rates in the Metropolis alone amount to
~..7',°001. annually—the repairs in Oxford.street are 5,000/.
rvr annum.
The economy of wood paving on this principle, compared
ie
Ith every other mode, ensures to this Company an ample
Zuneration per square yard ; and, that their operations may
carried to any extent, it is only necessary to state that the
c4as in the Metrbpolis now paved with stone and Mac-
ecomprise between five and six millions of
e yards, for which there is no doubt wood will be sub-
18‘;`utcd. removing, as it effectually does, so many long-
._lllplained-of nuisances. The wear and tear of wood pave-
on this principle, is imperceptible; and as the Company
contract to keep their pavement in repair, it is expected
that• on a moderate calculation, the Company will derive, ott
60 ,Lue large amount now paid for repairs, a net rex enue of
c4,..`Jui. per annum. The present orders received bf the
eti"Pally amount to 20,000/. Negotiations are pending for
4er work to a great extent.

of the

eentletnen—As Surveyor to the Commissioners for Paving
Regents-park, Regent-street, and Whitehall districts, by
',Pe order the wood pavement on the above principle has been
down at Whitehall and in reply to your note requesting my
tric'n of its merits, fhave to inform you that the work has not
Y give* me and the Commissioners entire satisfaction, but has
doeit4d the admiration of the public generally. I have no
a° It
but this mode of pavement will be universally adopted,
It is not only free from noise and mud, but the wear and tear
Public and other conveyances will be greatly reduced. The
~°°d pavement laid down at Whitehall stands firmly, and is in
" good condition as the first day it was laid down.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

To the D

:rectors of the Metropolitan Patent Wood Pavement
Compan.
zeGentlement—lu reply to your aypplication to me for a certi-
ate of my opinion of the Wood Pavement laid down by your
to
hp:12,13411 in various parts of London, I have much pleasure in
047"0g testimony to its evenness of surface, as well as to its
Pactness and solidity, and I am sure when it comes to be
generally d ted the wear and tear of horses and carriages
l Op
" greatly reduced. As Manager of the London Convey-
Company, who are Proprietors of Omnibuses, running be-
-114,;w4 the Nightingale Tavern and Elephant and Castle, I
14: remarked that the draft is less for horses, when going over
Isk,"Perimental pavement at Whitehall ; and I think the
to prt of paving would be found much superior to all others
`4l)le stalls and yards.
Hoping to see it generally adopted,
I remain, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
ROBERT BLORE,
Manager to the " Landon Conveyance Company."
