 At the meeting of the Commercial Club last night the subject of paving was generally discussed Announce ment was made that at the request of several members of the Club. inquiries had been addressed to a large number of Southern cities as to the relative merits of brick, bitulithic and aspnalt pavements. These letters were sent In every case to the Mayor and the City Engineer, and the replies are, therefore, valuable as being official and from those having experience with these specific pavements.
 Believing that these letters contain cd information which should be placed at the disposal of every citizen Of Montgomery, as well as members of the Commercial Club, the Club direct ed that they should be published for the general information of the com munity.

 Montgomery, Ala. Dear Sir--Replying to your recent favor, beg to advise that we are now using bricks practically entirely in this city. having laid some miles of them in the past ten years and found them very satisfactory when care is taken to get good brick. We lay the brick directly on the sand. which could probably be done fin your city also, without a stone. foundation. As to asphalt, our experience has been very unsatisfactory. We have sew eral miles of asphalt pavement. found it very costly to lay, costly to main tain, and repairs very slowly made. it being lconstantly broken up for sub work and worn by traf1ic. To my mind a well made brick answers all purpos- es and will become more and more the favorite pavement in the South, es- pecially where there is no severe weather In the winter to unsettle 1t by deep frosts.
 Very respectfully.

NeW Orleans, La, June g, 1906. Commercial Club. Montgomery, Ala. Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of the 9th Inst:
 The experience with asphalt pave ments in this city has been variable. In some few instances these pave ments have continued in good condition for fifteen years and longer; in some few instances extensive repairs have been necessary during the fifth and sixth year of the life of the pave ment. I believe on the whole the av- craze experience has been that after a payment has been in use from eight to ten years it passes She point of practical repairs and should be ramov- ed and the concrete foundation re-sur- faced.
 Experience has further shown the futility of constructing asphalt pave- ment between street car track rails and immediately adjacent thereto; ac- oordingly, such practice has been dis continued, and the custom DOW is to pave with small granite blocks be- tween street car track rails and for about eighteen inches outside of each rail. thereby forming in effect a gran ite block tram.
 Very respectfully.

 City Engineer.

 Judging by the limited experience with 1t in St. Louis, the pavement gives every indication of having fife at least as long as that of first- class asphalt street.

The C0mmercIaI CIub,
 Montgomery, Ala. Dear Sir--ln reply to your letter Of the 12th, inst. would say that we have had no experience in our city with asphalt. We have laid several miles of bitulithic and our people are very much pleased with 1t. Our experience with the brick also has been very sat- isfactnry. some of it having been down as long as fourteen years, and being still in good condition. The first bi- tulithic was laid three years ago This seems to be lasting well, and has the advantage over brick in that vehicles passing over 1t make much less noise. Any other information I can give you will be glad to furnish.

Dallas. Texas. May IS.

 The Commercial Club, Montgomery Ala: Dear Sir-Replying to yours of the I2th inst, we have had brick pave- ment down here on our business streets fore eight years and today 1t Is in a hrst-class condition, not one cent hav- ing been spent for repairs.
 Our asphalt streets are a flat failure. and have been down for about five years. We have two streets paved with Trinidad Lake asphalt, and one with Indian Territory Rock asphalt. The asphalt companies certainly con- structed the streets very poorly and gave us cheap construction. l know that these same companies have good streets in other cities.
 We are just now constructing some pavement of bithullthic, but as to its lasting qualities I am unable to give an expression of my opinion. but have written cities that have this pavement and up to date I find that 1t has proven very satisfactory.
 Very truly yours,

l2th inst, would say. We have some twenty miles os paving in this city, of which some fifteen miles Is bitulithi. and asphalt about equally divided.
 In regard to both pavements l would say that in my Judgment 90 per cent of the value of each kind depends upon the workmanship. in other words upon the care and skill of the foreman in charge of the work.
 I believe bitulitnic is an excellent pavement when put down properly and in exactly the right proportions and temperatures.
 The large amount of pavement put down in this city of bitulithic has to date proved in the main erlinently sat- isfactory to all codcerned.
 In one or two cases, owing to bad proportioning in laying, the pavement proved soft in midsummer. and before giving these special cases ny absoiute endorsement. I wish to see them stan1 the test of the coming summer.
 I wish to impress on you that the value, as above stated, of either as- phaIt or bitulithic depends largely on their being put down right by experts, who not only know their business, but do it; and the best guarantee of this is a five year suarln' ee bond.

You will note that bitulthic Is used in a compara- tive small number of places. but on further investigation you will learn that it is giving entire satisfaction and I should not hesitate to recom- mend it's use in preference to asphalt as I believe it has all of the good qualities of asphalt and will excel in durability.
