Paving lilock.s from Xorway 



U. S. Consul-Gencral James L. Rodgers 

 at Havana reports that the granite blocks 

 now lieing used in the repaying of the 

 streets of Havana, following the sewer con- 

 5truction. are being reported from Xorway. 

 It IS alleged that cost, insurance and freight 



total a much smaller amount per unit than 

 can be obtained under importation from 

 any port of the United States. The figures 

 sustaining these conclusions are withheld, 

 but it is claimed that the low Norwegian 

 freight rates, when combined with the low 

 cost of material, prevent competition.
