1t appears that a seriors difference

of brick made at Murphysboro last
week. in which the Murphysbcr1
brick are claimed to have been shown
superior to the brick made at Albion

This test is disputed by people in
Carbonate. and also by the Albion

or board of arbitration.
When asked about tests of brick used
on Cairo streets Engineer Thistle
wood said no tests had been made Of
the bricks as they were put into the

or rejected brick samples of
which were sent to be tested by state
and were reported to have
