10 the Editor of the Press:
The article in the Press of yesterday, EMIT
led "The Wooden Pavement" reached me in
Boston. at once telegraphed to the editor OF
Advertiser as follows:
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER:
The statement about the wooden pavement
in this mornings Press is untrue, as usual
Please insert this contradiction tonight.
GEO. p. WEsCoTT.
This telegram was published last evening to-
gether with an extract from the article refer
red to. / also teegraphed you that the state
ment of the facts in the article was untrue and
that should hold yon responsible.
Notwithstanding your knowledge of my de-
issue OF this morning, but threw out this squib
against the Advertiser for printing your state
ment and my denial in the same communica-
ton:
does the Advertiser propose to commit itself
u. 10 the WOODEN pavement scheme-a swindle
G SMaI ZANE uown 70 us from the last Locofoco
City Government?-Press,
For this reason and in order that tho n,b,;o
may know what you seem anxious it shonld
not, propose to give the facts alluded to >,
slight examination. The article is long. tbonch
not so long as the etfusous of its author nsnaiiv
are, put Its statements of facts is embraced in
the following: -"
I'VE have the most undouhted authority that
the statements which follow, are facts. The
contract gives the city the choice of had pine
or spruce for the foundation of the wooden
pavement. All the committee, except the
chairman, have individually expressed a de-
cided preference for hard pine. The chairman
does not call the committee together, but al
lows the contractors to lay spruce Hard pine
would cost three times as much, and is gener-
ally considered to be three times as desirable"
The first statement is true, the contract does
give the committee the choice of hard pine or
spruce for the foundation of the pavement
The other statements are not true. The second
shows that the Committee OH Streets were in
session on Friday the 18th of August at from
IL until o'clock, and had acted on all mat
ters to be then presented when the chairman
stated that he wished to lay before them the
contract for wood pavement, and started to
procure the same from the City Treasurer,

that old documents and historic facts might be

committee added words descriptive of the
pleasure of the visit, and entering more or less
largely into the history of the settlement of this
coast, and the Importance Of each single effort
from the beginning, in producing the grand re-
suit, which we now behold in our great and
growing country.
Especial mention was made of the capture
of Louisburg under Pepperell, and of the re-
ception of the news in London, where cannon
were fired and bells rung at the Tower, be
tokening the Joy of the parent nation at The
victory that proved the superiority of Enghsl

This was agreed to by all present and the sub
