Editor Evening Teller:

Editor Evening Teller:
Since the paving question in this
city has reached the point where 1t
has become a controversy, perhaps
the public would like to know just
how wood blocks ever came to be
recommended by the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the relative
merits of the different paving mate
rials.
First, however, It is necessary to
explain how and why this committee
was appointed. The board of Sov-
ernors of the Lewiston Commercial
club were solicited by the city
council, through DR.. Salsberg. to
call a. mass meeting OF the property
owners in the paving district for the
purpose Of ascertaining their views
on the matter of paving. On In
struction of the governing board. j
addressed a personal letter to each
of the 141 property owners in the
paving district, inviting them to at
tend the mass meeting to be held al
the Commercial club rooms. Be
sides. l inserted a quarter-page ad
vertisement in The Evening Teller
and Lewiston Morning Tribune an
| nouncing the purpose and date o
| the meeting.
AS only two of the letters sent ou
were returned, 1t is to pe presumed
that every one most interested re
ceived notification and therefor
had excellent opportunity to expires
themselves in a manner free from
the influences of paving instructors
who are unQuestionably skilled Il
the art of selling their individua
product.

with an attendance OF about q
