property owners wished IT, to obtain the price for his
pavement without entering into competition with an
unpatented article. clerk 10 Mr.. Guidets ONCE told
the reporter that Mr. Guidet had paved Sixtyhfthst
and Eighty fthst between Fifth and E1ghthaves, and
that he was now engaged IN paving Wests as stated
between the car-tracks. member OF the Board OF
Alderman also said that his price was % per square yard
and that he had pendn before the Board propostion
TO pave part Of Churcht In regard to the Broadway
pavement no statement was made because no partcu-
lars were known, and Mr.. Guidet himself made the
abatement attributed to him In Saturdays paper In
spect 10 the South Fifth-aye pavement It Was not
stated In the article spoken OF that u was
the patent pavement-thA writer understood that 1t

competition At the Bureau Of Public Works. also the
reporter was informed that the ~ stated in the
article complrned Of and that Mr. Gudet had received
very many contracts from the city The evidence
