THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: “FRIDAY- MARCH 21 1879---TWELVE PAGES W00D PAVEMENTS, The DeGolyer-Samuels Pro- . cess. i Why Oen.

The Republican Congressman did cast their totes for Gen. Gaorfleld as 8peaker of tho Ilouse, sud fn so dofng honored themsclves and the country. Gen. Garfleld, from s high charne- ter, continuous scrvico, mreat abilitles, nnd com. manding influence, was entitled to bo voted for by his party for Speakers and, should the Ke- publicans af Ohlo secitre a majority of the mem- bers of the vext Leglstature, ha will undoubt- edly be elected by them a Senator uf the Unlted gtates. Whoover says that Gen. Qarlleld was gulity of any wrong, any unprofessionul conduct, or any sct unbecoming a higli-minded, conscientlous lawyer, fn his connection with the Detiolyer pavemont cose nt Woshington, docs bim the greatest Injustice. Gen. Garfiold he- Jieved, and had the right to believe, thut the so- called Delolyer pavement was the vory best wooden pavewent In existence; that, in select- fng It Inpreference to any ol ity competitors, the Bosrd of Public Works at Washington was uslng 4 wiso dlecrotion, and doing the best thivg fn ite pawer Lo proteet the Interests of the taxpayers, The price for wooden pnvemnenta was fixed by the Board at a definite sum for all kinda allke, sod wooden vavements wers only lakl upon fhose stroets where the residents speclatly de- sired theni, and were pald for by a tax upon the property abutting. ‘hiero were thirty-two dif- ferent kinds of wooden pavement presented to the Board for sclection, and each was vigorous. Iy pressed by the owners of the scvernl patents, The strife for ' success was great, because the reyilty,upon cach sguaro yard of pavement )afd war §1, and this was clear profit to tho In- ventors. A contract for 200,000 square yards of wooden pavement thus gave the contractor and owner of the patent sclected a profit. of $200,000. Henco the large fees paid the lawyers by thelr clients, contingent upon success. The prics for wooden pavements of all kinds having been fired nnd published by the Board in all the newspapers of - Washington, there wos nothing for the owners of the different patents and thelr Iswyers to do but to satlsly the Board of Public Works which patent was most durable, desira- ble, and best for the public. Atthe timo the DeGolyer pavement was advo- ated for selection before the Board, ft had a very high reputation ot Chicago nnd cliewhere, and proofs of its superlority to nll other kiuds weee furnished {n abundatce. ‘The Ilon, R.
