WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
VIII Attend to the Tariff Bill Next
Month,


Washington, ID. c., Dec. 29.-In
view of the apprehension which seems
to exist regarding the rehearing which
the Ways and Means committee will
give before the wark of preparing the
tariff bill begins, thepres is requested
to announce that the program agreed
upon will be strictly adhered to.
Where hearings on certain schedules
are limited to one day, no extension
of time will be granted.
Hearings will begin at 10 o'clock in
the morning and will continue until
evening but no longer.
The committee requests that where
representatives of a number of inter-
ests desire to be heard, that it would
be better to agree upon one or two
persons to state their case fully to the
committee rather than spend the day
in hearing a number Of experts discuss
the same subject.
1t is stated that an equally good eff
feet can be secured by placing the ar
gument in writing instead of deliver
ing them orally. as oral arguments
will be geographically reported and
printed for the information of the
members.
1t may be again stated that hearings
will begin Monday 2Sth inst. and
close January 18th.

Cork for Paving.

Something like year ago a radical
departure in street paving was expert
mented with in London. Liverpool street,
leading 70 the Great Eastern railway
station, was paved with cork. The cork
was graduated and mixed with mineral
asphalt and other cohesive substances
and compressed into blocks Of the proper
size and shape. After the lapse Of
year the paving was CRITICALLY exam
ined, to note the wear and tear on the
material The blocks were embedded in
tar. and rested upon a concrete FONDA
ton six inches thick. Notwithstanding
the traffic was very heavy over the sec
ton examined. It was found that the
blocks had in no place worn into holes,
and that the thickness Of the paving had
been reduced less than one-eighth Of an
inch. The cork had withstood the twelve
months service, and was in practically
as good condition as when it was laid
The Medical Journal. advocating a trial
OF the cork paving in New York, says:
Among the numerous advantages set
forth in its behalf are cleanliness. Noise
lessness. durability. elasticity, freedom
from slpperiness, whether wet or dry.
and moderate cost. It is non-absorbent,
and consequently inodorous II presents
the minimum resistance to traction, and
being always elastic under the passing
load. does away with the vibration
caused by heavy teams"
The record of the new material Is such
as will cause attention to be given to it
by cities contemplating street improve
ments 1t appears to combine the good
qualities OF asphalt. wood and stone,
without the bad qualities of either. 1t is
tough and durable, without being noisy.
II is smooth without being slippery, and
is elastic without being absorbent The
cost is the question that is not salts
factorily answered. The Medical Journal
says the cost is moderate. but then one
does not always feel satisfied TO have
a medical authority pass upon a com
mercial question. 1t is probable that the
material will be tried in New York; in
which event the authorities of this city
VIII have an opportunity to study it, il
they are so inclined.
