MAJORITY FAVOR BRICK.

is false. He said that bitulithlc is
81 per cent. stone.
Mr.. Coats of the Metropolitan brlck
concern said that he had made the
low bid of 50 a square yard Win d
view to getting some OF thelr Drlch
laid here to show its good quality.
He said that not a dollar has been
spent in repairs on South lehth
street, the first street in Newark paw
ed with brick, eleven years age. lie
said hat expansion joints now make
brick pavements noiseless. He de-
clared that there is not a brick made
which will come up to the require
ment in the local specifications for
but one per cent. absorption. He
said that but $4,000 has been spent
! for maintenance on 400 miles OF
brick pavement. half of it of Metro
politan brick, in Cleveland, Ohio, in
eighteen years.
hmanual Williams repeated his
previous declaration that the top of
the bitulithic. pavement will lift on
wheels and horses hoofs.
+. A. Seaman Spoke.
f. A. Seaman said that the top
part of the bitulithic is intended to
wear down in a few years, leaving a
hard. smooth surface.
Joseph F. Walker asked what had
caused those who had been to New
ark to change their minds so quickly
from brick to bitulithic.
Morris Slobodien said that the
noise of the traffic on the New Bruins
wick avenue brick pavement wakes
him up at 4 o'clock every morning.
Mr.. Walker said that it is stated
that expansion joints do away with
the noise; and he asked what other
objections there.
C. C. Christensen told of evidences
of poor wearing qualities of brick on
several Newark streets, and of good
lasting of bitulithic streets there.
Mr.. Coats read a letter from Terre
Haute, Indiana, to his concern, tell
ing of the fine wearing qualities of
Metropolitan brick.
Augustus Farlander said the brick
must have been poorly laid in New
ark, then, as it was "chewed up" and
full of holes.
Fred Christensen said that the paw
ing agents would certainly speak in
favor of their own product, but that
the majority on Madison avenue want
brick.
Two other paving men spoke
briefly.
j. c. Donehue reiterated his for
NOR assertions favoring brick, and
said he would abide with the greatest
number. He said Newark has been
getting "fimfammed." He said that
bitulithic is simply high class macad-
am and that telford macadam went
to. pieces on State street. He said
that bitulithic would probably have
done the same if laid on State street.
Adolph Koyen, OF 23O Madison ave-
nue., said ne would leave his name on
the petition for brick, as he highly
favors it.
j. j. Dcvemy said the noise on New
Brunswick venue has " caused
him to lose any sleep. He said that a
sledge of his was broken some time
ago in taking up some brick on New
Brunswick venue to allow of sewer
repairs.
Emanuel Williams said that the
best way would be to put a pavement
down and then talk about it after
wards.
No others responded to Alderman
at-Largc Pfeiffer's invitation to speak
and the hearing was adjourned.
The Board of Aldermen meet Mon
day night.
