Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 102, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 September 1901 — About the Paving Brick. [ARTICLE]

About the Paving Brick.

The parties who went to Brazil Friday to inspect the paving briok, returned that night. Councilman MoColly and Kannal, and Contractor T. J. Sayler in addition to those previously mentioned. The councilmen express themselves as satisfied with the brick that are now being loaded for Rensselaer. The commissioners do not appear to be wholly satisfied with them. There is quite a difference in the oolor of the bricks, some being very much darker than others. The councilmen beleive the darker brick were cooked nearer the fire and got more smoke, but are none the worse for that. President Halleck, speaking for the commissioners, says the blftok ones are black dear through, and have had the life all baked out of them.
