THE STow PAvEMENr.-A committee
consisting Of about ten members ofthe Com.
mon Council OF Philadelphia arrived here on
Friday and put up at Wizards. The object Of
their visit was to examine the specimen Of
Stow wood pavement laid at Blanchard Il
Mohun's, corner Pennsylvania avenue and
Eleventh street, and 10 sec q section Of the
same taken up and relald. Mr.. Stow was
present, with workmen, and few yards
were taken up,and every block was as sound
rs when first put down, thlitecn months ago.
The wear and tear on each block was almost
impcrcoptiblc, and not particle Of rot was
anywhere on them. This experiment proves
FIRST, how easily and practically this pave.
ment can be taken up and rciaid; sccopd,
that no rot takes place when the blocks arc
laid on the sand, and third that the wear and
tear are scarcely noticeable after years
trial.
This experiment certainly shows conclu-
sively to our citizens and the councils how
advantageous II would be for our streets,
and we do hope that those streets, Tenth,
Eleventh and Twelfth, from the Avenue to
+ street, for which bills arc already passed,
Will be paved with the Stow pavem mt i'm
mediately.
