II is Interesting TO note the return
to wooden blocks for paving purposes
In this age OF brick and asphalt Re
ports show that In England, where
these creosoted wooden blocks have
been used for paving. soft wood thus
treated has life OF from twelve to
fifteen years, while hard woods last
from three to four years longer. and
this when subjected to the heaviest
kind OF traffic. The nolselessness of
this type Of paving and the excellent
footing which 1t gives to horses are
great recommendation In Its favor.
Two species Of wood from Australia
are said to be the best suited for this
purpose = karri and jarrah - though
and California gums are
also used with good results.
