The City Clerk read letter from Mr..
Nicolson, the inventor of the pavement,
Council that his royalty is 16 cents per
square yard for all pavement put down un-
der my patent. In order to get his pave
ment started at first, he sold the right to
certain cities for round sum, but is of
opinion that the charge of 16 cents per
square yard is calculated to give more sat7
isfaction. He states that in New York
they are determined to take up the Bel
giam pavement on Wall street and put
down this. ItiHil f1Htfsss5
