OF THE COUNCIL ADOPTED IN 1874-A HIS

COLONEL CUTsHAW's REPLY TO RESOLUTION
OF THE COUNCIL ADOPTED IN 1S74-A HIS
TORY OF THE WHOLE MATTER.
On the Sttl OF January, 1875, the follow
| ing Joint resolution, which originated in
the Board of Aldermen tbeing presented by
Mr.; Williams, OF Marshall Ward, Decem-
ber %, 1874, was approved by the Mayor |:
s.ResolUed (the Common Council concur
ring), That the City Engineer be and is
hereby directed TO prepare and present to
the Council for their inspection sectional
or base lines for grading, said lines to
serve as guides in the future grading Of
streets OF the CITY,"
| In response to this resolution, the City
Engineer, Colonel w. e. Cutshaw, on the
Goth OF November, 1877, prepared the fol-
lowing communication, which has been
read and duly considered in both branches
Of the Council, and is now on file in the
clerks office:
OFFICE OF CITY ENGINEER, !
RICHMOND, VA, Goth November, 1S77.
To the Chairman and Members of the CON-
naittee on Streets:
GentlemeD,-Thee enclosed resolution from
the Board OF Aldermen will be answered, [
conceive, in presenting for your considera-
tion system Of permanent grades OF the
streets of very large section, embracing
an area of more than one half the entire
city. The system herein proposed is based
upon careful consideration OF drainage
and economical equaliZing OF excavation
and filing-in, establishing the gradients of
streets, and has been studied out after duly
considering the objection to changes OF
streets already improved and built upon;
but in no instance is there recoU-
mended change of grade which has
been recommended by me and for
mally adopted by the Council; and
even upon those streets where grading has
been partially carried out as few changes as
possible are now recommended consistent
with their bearing upon the whole section.
Suggestions in regard to q plan Of grades
bave been made from time to time in my
official annual reports, and it is only now,
after careful surveys and study, running
over period OF several years, that | am
enabled to present this matter in a system
attic form. 1t is proposed to follow this up
until the entire city has been embraced in
the plan; but for the future. as in the past,
this must depend upon the TIME that can be
spared from other important pressing duties
to accomplish it.
While it is essential to the permanent i'm
provement OF the city that the grades OF
streets shall be established and placed upon
record as early as practicable, the actual
1cork of grading need not be undertaken un-
til such time as the Council may deem ne
cessary; but unless we establish and ar
range the street-grades in some permanently
recorded manner, to enable all who are in
terested to examine and learn for them
selves which are the fixed or intended
grades of streets, it will be impossible to
work with any comfort and satisfy citizens
with what we are doing in our work upon
streets. Very respectfully,
w. E. CUTsHAw, City Engineer.

THE PAVING ORDINANcE.-In the suit Of
Atkinson Us. Atkinson. pending in the Chan
Gerry Court Of Richmond, Mr.. Kelley, the
city attorney, filed petition asking an or
der on the receiver, A. FL. Sands. Esq, to
pay the assessed value OF certain paving
done under the ordinance. This was re-
sisted upon the allegation that the ord-
nance was illegal; and Judge Fitzhugh
being unwilling to sit in the case the ques-
ton was argued before Judge W. S. Barton,
Of the Fredericksburg circuit; Messrs.
johnson, Williams & Boulware, and jack
son representing the receiver.
Judge Barton has rendered his decision,
affirming the vatidity Of the ordinance, and
it will be entered to-day.
The counsel Of the receiver have applied
for suspendng order. This is question
which has been largely mooted in our city,
and its decision will interest quite number

The Minneapolis Explosion.

Without any warning, there was an eX-
plosion which shook the city; an immense
structure was almost instantly levelled with
the earth; in two mills other explosions fol-
lowed: they took fire; the flames spread to
other mills and other buildings; and before
all was over there was an estimated loss OF
fourteen lives and of property valued at
from $1,000,000 to S1,500,000. OF course
the first inquiry will be into the cause OF
this remarkable occurrence.
Here is a case in which mystery need not
be encouraged. The telegraph tells us that
there was can explosion Of gas generated in
the the patent middHngs purifier process"
we may learn from the past experience
OF insurance companies just what this
means. An excellent essay by f. c.
Moore, OF this city, supplies the requi-
site data. He says: "The fine dust OF
flour-mills is very inflammable, espe-
cialIy that from the 'middlings,' which
has been known to take fire readily-like
eas-from the flame OF CANDLE" Hence
artificial illumination in such mill cannot
be permitted. But, unfortunately, the flame
may be started from other sources. Elec-
trio sparks may be given off from the run
nine-belts, as often has happened in facto-
rias. The friction Of the fnty millstones
NAV generate fire, especially if a particle OF
iron comes between. Want Of grain in the
hopper or an obstruction Of the feed-pipe
may cause the millstones to grind
each other. A violent explosion In an
English mill, we are told, was thus
due TO the obstruction caused by aspider's
web. In the essay to which we have aliu"
ded there is long list OF fires and explo-
sions in flour mills due to the ignition OF
the finer dust produced in milling, and ex-
periments are described by which an explo-
siye mixture Of ordinary four-dust and air
can be artifcially produced.-Neao Tork

LOCAL MATTERS.

ANEW ENTERPRIsE-WHoLEsA MANU-.
PAcTURE OF WoaEN's SHOES NEAR RICH.
M0ND.-Mr. v. M. Fleming, OF Hanover
county, has recently started new enter.
prise few miles from Beaverdam depot, on
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, which
promises to be one Of considerable impor.
tance to the State as well as to the parties.in-
terested. Tt is an establishment for the
manufacture OF women's shoes. a brief
statement of how the work is done, as also
its quality, the capacity OF the machinery,
and the rapiditY OF the operations OF the es-
tablishment, may not be euninteTesting at this
time. In the first place, there are three large
machines, which are driven by four-horse
power engine. These machines are the cut
ting-machine, the splitting-machine and the
rolling machine. After the sole-leather
passes through each OF these it then passes to
the block, where the dies are used in cutting
out the soles. 1t then goes to the laster,
where it meets the uppers, already cut out,
and is there lasted; thence il passes to the
pegging-machine. This is q very rapid
operation, as by actual test, with an expe-
rienced man who understands his business,
sixty pairs per hour is but moderate work !:
but with Just what machinery is already
put up and in operation, with about twenty
operatives, three hundred pairs Of shoes are
made daily-only five hours work for the
pegglng-machine. With proposed con-
tinuation OF the line-shafting and addi-
tional machinery, including another peg
ging-machlne-all OF which Mr.. Fleming 8
has-worked up to its full capacity, with
sixty operatives, he will turn one thou
sand pairs Of shoes daily. This ma
chinery is already Oil hand, and if the
patronage OF the establishment iustifies
it will be speedily put to use. From an ex-
animation OF the market made by eXpe-
rienced men in this line it has been ascer-
tained that better and prettier shoe can be
made at this Virginia mandatory than can
be sold in the northern market or by porth-
ern manufacturers. These homemade shoes
are represented to be more substantial and
constructed OF better and prettier material,
being made Of genuine leather throughout.
with no paper-board stitfening or brown
paper soles. The look, shape, style, and
price of these shoes will, it is contended,
assert at once their ascendancy over similar
grades OF northern shoes. The operatives
are skilled in the manufacture OF shoes,
having had extensive experience in the large
establishments of Massachusetts. The new
enterprise will doubtless prove success.
