ton.
The same thing applies to this bit
ulithic. This is merely Il patented
name for a certain make of a btu
minous macadam pavement. To ad-
vertise for a bitulithic pavement is
the same as specifying a certain kind
of brick pavement, for all but the
manufacturers of that particular
brand are barred from bidding. To
get real competition no names should
be mentioned. If a brick pavement
is wanted, ask for brick; then all
makers compete and the city and
property wner deSve the benefit.
If a bituminous macadam pavement
is wanted. ask for bituminous macad
amam, then the patented bitulithic
variety is brought into competition
with other firms making The same
kind of a pavement. There is no
more reason why the bitulithic man
ufacturers should not meet competi-

er of a certain kind of brick should
not meet competition.
Let the streets be paved by all

bitulithic makes a good pavement,
but so does Metropolitan brick make
a good pavement. In advertising for
a brick pavement, however, no one
thinks of specifying just that one
make. BY, advertising for a brick
