It both kinds of oil specified, and he said that the blockj that were shipped were treated with the coal tar paving oil through a misunderstanding as to which bid had been accepted and the error was not discovered until after the ten ear- loads had been shipped.

"It Is an a error," he said and no one regrets It more thin we do. these blocks cannot be used hero It will mean that the pavement cannot be laid If, er aid will also mean that we will have to turn down the order. wood block business Is peculiar rltht at inls time, since the war every plant has been swamped i orders. We had to turn ot er rd we might furnish these blocks for Decatur and we have many orders ahead for blocks treated Just ik AT" a we now change to the other treatmenl." These blocks are superior to any a have over come 1 said Engineer W.ir- an ,4 I am satisfied that as as the a i of the pavement la-concerned It would be equally as good, last as long and give ns good satisfaction as though the pum distillate on nad been used In treating the blocks. Personally I betiove ii ls trootmmt i' good the pure distillate oil treatment, but the property owners demanded the puro distillate oil and the board.of local Improvements told them they could have It.

That la what they will get. unless the property owners would rather accept these blocks than wait )rin for their pavement to be laid, MUST AGREE. Corporation Counsel Ralph J. Monroe was asked If these blocks could be put down i the consent of the property owners on the street. "Not unless all of them would aim an agreement to thnt effect," he replied.

"If they would all sign an agreement to accept these blocks It would be all right, but of course the board of local Improvements would not go around and ask them to do It la possible that some of the property owners will start out with a petition asking that the blocks now here be used If til sign It the work can go ahead. If not the street will remain In Its present condition till next spring.
