BRICK is POOR PAVING
MATERIAL, SAYS McCABE

Boiler Inspector McCabe reported
to Commissioner Haarer Monday. the
results of chemical analysis OF the
material entering into the manufac-
lure OF the Jacksonville brick. two car
loads OF which were recentlyrejected
b the city. According to McCabe,
the material is shown to be defec-
tive. Haarer has not decided on what
10 do about the contract with the
Jacksonville Brick Co, but he says the
brick will be subject 10 the most
thorough inspection before any is ac-
copied.
Il believe brick is about the poor
est material this city can use for paw.
ing material said McCabe. The
plants from which we get the brick
are not properly equipped TO make
the best brands, and even the best
brick Is open TO criticism. There Is
very little uniformity about its, ex,
pansion and where laid in stretches
OF mile or more IL is warped by the
action of the weather Considerinp
the trouble we have in keeping up the
guilty of the brick | don't see why
we should not use less OF it."

PART OF BENEFITS PLAN
Chicago Expert Says Detroit

ually as Paris Did

The riyer-shore promenade and the
removal of traffic congestion In the
central district OF the city are two OF
the most important problems con
| fronting the city plan and improve
ment commission, according to +. II
Bennett, of Chicago, expert employed
by the commission, who was in the
city Monday
Referring TO the difficulties to be
met in working out eventual plans
for river-shore promenade, lie
| pointed out the fact that IL was back
in 1893 that a beginning was made
in Paris OF the double-dack quays
Siene. with facilities for shipping on
the ground and a promenade on the
upper deck The beginning covered
only about a half mile on one side of
the river, and Mr.. Bennett suggested
that the idea would have 10 be
worked out in the same way here
by making a beginning at some point
along the Detroit river where the diff
ficulties would not be insurmountable.
Regarding traffic conditions in the
central district Mr. Bennett said that
II was a wonderful area with magnif-
cent arteries that were, however. be-
ing USED 10 carry only a fraction OF
the traffic that they would stand. p.
Fl. Lazenby, of Chicago, an engineer
in Mr.. BENEFITS office, has been des-
ignated TO come TO Detroit and gather
data on traffic conditions here and on
the citys industrial growth and will
take up this work soon for the benefit
