PERRINE PAvEMENT.-Io the Editors
Of the Y Tribune: If this contractor has forfeited $40
per day for considerable time, hope the forfeit will be
rgdly exaced unless he is willing TO renqulsh the
and spare the nuisance The City paying for
that require force of traction of thirty
aaAt
Iay pavements that require force Of sc
ton OF less than pounds per tu and that may be kept
clean for sixteenth of what 1t would cost to keep Russ
ing clean. This stupid and fahles of the public
money and reckless damage to citizens has been endured
long that the sufferer seem to have made their minds that
The design the Perrne pavement simply that of the
stone track roads which used in various parts OF Europe
there IL nothing original about except It's faulty execution
tracks consist of long blocks OF dressed stone with
cobte other rough paving afford foopath for horses
Next to Railroads these the best roads, they require
force of traction Of twelve and half pounds per the
Russ paving when c-an requiring rtthree pounds
If this design of smooth wheeltracks aud roushened
hosecks be executed In iron the force of traction now
H. will be u s per ard the cost will be about s5~per
square yard So so is the cost of Russ paving how much
for Peines nckety patchwork do not know As the iron
pavement can ept Clean may safely assumed
the horse required upon would be less than fifth of
the dirt which falls from will be fifth of what is
endured But English engineers estimate that reeiourths
Russ ground and pounded from the paving stones No
appreciabe matter Is worn from iron psvements hence
wha. is produced upon stone
will be said that the sweepings from stores make part
of the dirt but the greater part OF what swept from build
ng is fist carried into them from the street by the wind
and the shoes and clothing of pedestrians Moreover house
dirt should never swept into the street. open
boxes upsn the walks blown about the dnstmcn should
90 into houses after the dust and signs should be put out
wanted IL VIII furthermore be
said that Improvement the surface of roads without Cor
responding improvement in the grades will not reduce the
power in proportion the Improvement of surface But
against this we have the probability that upon such pave
ments much OF the light carriage VIII be done oy handcas
aud the saving dirt from thus arrangement would Offset
that which made by the power Necessary TO overcome the
few heavy graoes venture 10 say, then, that upon this
smooth track form oiron pavement not than twentl
eth the dirt would be made which made upon the
best pavement we have IN use.
