by the officers of the "Grahamito Pavement Com

that Company impudently assert that tho city
authorities and Board of Health have declared in
favor of their pavement but cannot prove their as
serton. II is true that young assistant inspector
of the Board of Health. by the name of A. McLane
Hamilton. has thought it worth while to look out
side of the district assigned him, and to write to
his superior officer in the Health Board n letter
recommending the Grabamite pavement. This let
ter it would appear was written under the dictatlon
of the Grahamite Pavement Company, or without
full inquiry into the merits of the subject What
object there was in the production Of this letter it
might be difficult to learn 1t is understood that the
stock of the Grahamtc Pavement Company has been
placed "where it would do the most good" and the
name of at least one officer in the City Government
can be given who, on taking official position where
it was supposed he might have to advocate or oppose
this pavement returned to the Company stock which
had been presented to him. When such an example
is known those who step aside from the strict line
of duty to advocate something outside of their
proper official sphere cannot fe5 aggreved if their
