MAYOR IGNORES
BRICK TEST PLAN
Won't Name Member Of Investigating
Committee of Three, as Council
Proposes.

Mayor Thompson refuses to have
anything to do with the councils plan
for the appointment OF committee
of three-one member each by the
mayor. the Board OF Commerce and
tho council-to investigate the ques-
.tion of Detroit's brick supply.
The councils plan Is that the COM
mittee shall either junket to other
cities using brick from the firms sup
plying Detroit or shall have samples
OF this brick brought here tor compari-
son with the product supplied this
city.
What good will II do Detroit to
know, whether Akron, o.. or Grand
Rapids, or Podunk Is getting poor
bfickyT asks the mayor I'VE know
that We are, and we want good mate
rial. | cant see how the proposed
committee can help the situation In
the least and do not intend to make
any appointment
This plan was sprung In the joint
meeting of the committees on claims
and accounts and streets. Tuesday aft
ernoon, after Prof. c. j. Tilden, Of the
University OF Michigan, who had been
proposed as head OF a commission OF
experts to test the brick. said that the
fees OF himself and assistants would
amount to sos day and that he real
~ didn't see where they could be Of
much use to the city. II was then de-
cided TO recommend the new plan 70
the council. which later ratified II,
President Gutman naming Aid. Gin
nan as the councils representative.
Another development In the brick
situation is that WA4@ThemasTrof
Thomas Bros, who have sold the city
the brick. threatens to hold up future
orders IL he does not receive payment
for what has been delivered.
The mayor fails to see anything
alarming In this threat
That doesn't brighten me-" he stat
ed "All the brick for this year has
been ordered, and for that matter II
would be an advantage II he would
hold up some OF his brick so we could
get good material somewhere else. He
hasn't any kick about payments when
the contract reads that he Is to get 80
per cent OF the price when the bricks
are delivered on the street. No other
business corporation would allow an
agreement like that"
The mayor told the committees,
Tuesday, that he could get between
two and three million bricks within
ten days. II necessary, that would
stand rattler test OF 20 per cent
abrasion.
