GLASS PAVING A FAILURE

teriaI VIII Not Stand the Traf-
fc In Streets.

Seven or eight years ago a plan;
was established at La Demi Lune. q
suburb about four miles from Lyon.
France, for making glass paving ma
terial under the name of pierre de
verre Garchey" After many expert
ments carried out at the factory the
manufacturer applied to the Lyon mu-
nicipality for the right to make a trial
on one Of the chief thoroughfares
The necessary authorization was
granted, provided that the inventor
would bear the entire expense of the
undertaking.
The place chosen for laying the
glass pavement was a section of the
Place de la Republique, where traffic
of cabs automobiles and wagons Of all
kinds is very heavy. The glass bricks
remained in place for less than two
years and we're then taken out as they
We're in very poor condition, the edges
were all broken. and in many cases
the blocks were split through and
through. The opinion Of officials here
at that time was to the effect Mat

walks, but not for the middle Of
