TEST OF THE JPAVING BRICK
City HiiRlneer Ktnyrp Hejiorts to
Council Hint IMntllriRs In tlif
rJxpprlmpiitt.
In compliance with the Instruction of the
city council. City Engineer Etnyro filed yes
tcrday his report of the tests mado of the
soveral kinds of paving brick on which bids
wcro made for tho paving of the streets In
tho Fourth ward, tho contract for whkh
was awarded to E. A. Wlckbam.
Tho report In part Is ns follows: "As
tho Springfield and Coffoyvlllc brick ere n
now material In this section I gave them
moro than ordinary attention. 1 found that
Coffcyvlllo brick has been used for paving
In Kansas City for several years and that
Its present condition is very satisfactory!
that what Is colled Coffeyvlllo brick Is mado
In thrco different localities and, while they
all have a similar outward appearance thiro
Is a material difference In their wa-lng
qualities. While tho 'rattler' tests of this
brick aro good tho absorption tests aro
pcor, but what effect tho amount of absorp
tion would have In this cllmato I cannot say
at present.
"From tests mado of our homo brick I am
satisfied that It they had bevelled Instead
of sharp edges tho 'rattler' test would
havo proved them equal to tho best. Be
lieving that the pavement to be let cannot
be put In this year, cannot proper Induce
ments bo offered our homo manufacturers
to put In the proper plant and burn a larger
and moro uniform paving brick? Wo would
not only get a cheaper pavement, but as
good or better than with nny foreign prod
uct and besides would keep nil this labor
at home.
"Two 'rattler' tests wero mado, one In
Omaha and tho second In this city. In
Omaha the tests were mado In a 'rattler'
of thirty Inches diameter nnd tfco brick
was subjected to 1,800 revolutions, with this
result: Galcsburg blcck, 9.GI per cent of
loss: Coffeyvlllo, 11.83; Des Moines (Capital
City), 11.87; Springfield, 21.32; Ucs Moines
(Flint), 21.80; St Joseph, 22.
"Tho test In Council Bluffs was made In a
'rattler' of eighteen Inches diameter and
tho brick wore subjected to 1,600 revolu
tions, with this result: Oaltsttirg block,
5.39 per cent of loss; Coffoyvlllc, 8.2.":
Springfield. 9.03; Council Bluffs, 10.15; DeJ
