Unbiased statements of Enjsineers who superintend the construction of streetsare dependable and absolute authority from every Tremont Street, near Temple. Boston, Mass. Laid in 1900—Southern Long Leaf Yellow street is heavily traveled and in excellent condition today, having cost practically nothing lor repairs. I consider a treated Long Leaf Yellow Pine block suitable for any traffic; blocks that havebeen under wear for thirteen years are apparently as serviceable as ever — the maintenance of ourwood block paving has not cost the contractors or the city anything during the past twelve years,nor do we look for any outlay in the immediate future, judging from present conditions. The streets that receive the heaviest traffic in Boston are paved with Southern Yellow PineCreosoted Blocks, also some of the finest resident sections. The pavement is highly satisfactoryand economical in each location in every sense of the word for both heavy and light traffic streets. Mr. Jas. H. Sullivan, Division Engineer, Board of Public Works, Cily of Boston. Mr. Engineer: Yellow Pine Creos
