of tha Alleged Combination
Woio Defeated.
LINCOLN , Nob. , May 0. [ Special to Tnn
BEE. ] rho State Printing Board hold a
moating this afternoon to consider the pro
test 'filed ' by the members of the Lincoln
Typographical union against letting the con
tract for state printing to tha Journal com
pany of Lincoln. The matter Is attracting
no little attention among the moinnars of
the printing fraternity In this city , and It is
not improbable that all proposals so far re
ceived will bo rejected.
After Informally discussing the protests
the board adjourned to moot next Thursday
morning nt 10 o'clock , at which tlmo all In-
turosted parties have been requested to ap-
, pear.
? , The union printers have taken up the light
zmd in their newspaper , the Unionist , they
Flillego with startling head lines and doublo-
: ' loaded vehemence that the bids were made
up nf tor a combination had been formed by
representatives of the leading job printing
houses of the state.
There seems to bo but little doubt of two
facts ono that u combination was actually
formed , and the other that it was broken to
some extent by the Fcstnur Printing com
pany of Omaha and the Nebraska Newspaper
union of York , The pool hail been formed
at a mooting hold at the Hotel Lincoln
Tuesday afternoon iiul evening. Messrs.
Campbell and Sedgwlck. representing thu
Festner company and the York house ,
respectively , did not appear upon the
scene until Into In the evening , and It was
tholr Independence of action which lost to
thocombinat'on ' three of the best contracts ,
The Festner company Is apparently entitled
to the contract for printing the session laws ,
while the York company will receive the
contract for the senate and house journals.

HASTINGS , Nob. , May 0. [ Special to TUB
BBB. ] The city council will meet in special
session Monday night to endeavor to
straighten up the Hocppner building muddle
if possible. The building In question was
the first brick block built in Hastings and Is
now almost twenty years old , being orig
inally built by the Odd Fellows and used by
them as a hall. Later it passed into the
hands of the Honppncrs and not long ago
was condemned by the city as unsafe. It
was fenced in to prevent passersby from
going inaido of the danger line and
adjoining buildings were vacated by
tholr tenants. Hoeppnor and Henry
J. Iliggins , the owner of a frame
building to the north , setting up as his
ground of action that the latter had rented
the frame building to some Chinamen , who
used it for n laundry. A big cesspool was
dug in the rear and Hoeppner claimed that
the water standing in this undermined and
settled the foundation of the brick block.
Higglns won on the trial of the case in the
district court.
Now a Lincoln contractor announces that
the building can bo repaired , but that it will
be necessary to move the Higglns building
back n short distance In order to get nt the
foundation of tlio condemned property ,
Hlggins will not consent to this and the
council on Monday evening will consider
whether or not the city has authority to
take possession of the Higglns property
anyway.

BRICK PAVEMENTS A F4ILURE
They Have Failed to Give Good Eesnlts
in St. Louis and Elsowhoro.
INTERESTING REPORT BY ONE WHO KNOWS
Mr. 5f. J. Murphy , tlio Coininlaslonor of
Streets of St. I.ouli , lleports on
Ilrlok ai n Pnrlne Mnterlnt
Itaud It.
"Pavements of this elasa failed to give
peed results in St. Louis under the con
ditions of trallio which averaged in ono
case 1,000 and in the other 3,500 commer
cial teams in twelve hours , in the first
case lasting1 , sot on a six-inch concrete
base , three years , mid in the second case ,
sot on a sand base , nine months. The
tonnage in the first instance being 10,1
and in the second 2U3 tons to the foot of
wheel way.
Still , tlio fact remains that peed re
sults are attainable under the proper con
ditions ; first , light tralllc , a uniform ma
terial , making and burning of the brick ,
and n density that will practically exclude -
cludo water , and eoiiBequent destructive
effects of freezing. Tralllc may change ,
but the wet and frost are annuals.
Tlio question of recommending tlio use
of brick in some of the resident districts
of the city was presented to the board
by petitions from property owners and
by communications from those who were
earnestly in favor of paving ono or more
of tlio West end thoroughfares with this
material instead of others that had been
suggested and that wore favored by
other petitioners. Your eommltteo. in
examining thia subject , visited various
cities whore brick had been in use. for
paving the driveways for several yourn.
Among the places whore examinations
wore made wore Philadelphia , Wash
ington , D. C. , Wheeling , W. Va. , New
ark , O. , Columbus , O , , Cincinnati and
Chicago.
Correspondence with smaller cities
shows that the use of brlok for road
ways is being extended , especially in
the Mississippi valley , and under cer
tain conditions , such as light trallio ,
selected material , unusual care in con
struction , ote. , it has given fairly good
satisfaction. In many places , however ,
the belief exists ami the fooling is grow
ing that brick is not a suitable material
for general or heavy trallio.
Philadelphia has thirty and oight-
tenth miles of brick streets ; brick being
placed on streets where light trallio
exists. Your committee examined care
fully a largo portion of the old and new
driveways constructed of thin material
and found some portions of it seriously
impaired , mid this , too , on the streets
newly constructed. Some of the city of-
lleiaia and a largo number of the prop
erty owners complained of the quality of
the material and Its want of uniformity ,
and to this was attributed its rapid im
pairment.
In Newark , O. , the result nf tor Bovernl
years of trial and numerous experiments
has not been satisfactory.
In Columbus , O. . there are 1.1 miles of
briok roadways. In ft report recently
made by Mr. Josiah Kinnoar , the city
engineer , ho expresses the following
opinion : 'Uy inspection of our beauti
fully paved city there is no reason why
mistakes in the selection of good paving
material should occur In other places.
Wo have all kinds , brought about by
moans of lack of or misinformation , this
being particularly true na regards brick
streets. The laying of fire and red brick
for this purpose has uniformly resulted

in furnishing a costly experiment in this
city nt least. The experiments have
boon made and the results are self-
evident. '
In Chicago only nfow thousand square
of brick have been laid , mostly around the
yards of railroads , and they have not
been laid a sufficient length of tlmo to
form any opinion as to their durability.
In Washington , D. C. , sporadic efforts
have been made Kovoral years to intro
duce brick us a paving material , but the
national and municipal commiHsionorn
agree that ita use for street paving pur
poses has not boon at all satisfactory.
In Kansas City , Mo. , several of the
principal thoroughfares that wore paved
a low years ago with vitrified brick are
now being reconstructed with other ma
terial , and the use of brick will bo aban
doned.
In our own eity several experiments
have been made with brink since the
year 1878 , notably on Chestnut street
between 2d and 3d , on 2d street near
Pine and on 3d street at the approach of
the Eads bridge. The records of the
street department show that those testy
wore not suillciontly satisfactory to in
duce my predecessors or this board to
recommend the construction of any
streets with red or vitrified bricks.
The conclusion reached , therefore , is ,
in view of all tlio facts obtained , that it
would bo inadvisable at present to
recommend the adoption of brick as n
paving material for any of the principal
streets or boulevards in the residence
districts of the eity. "
