The Coal Weighing Question.
From the Sunday Register.

Councilman Geyer seems to have
conceived an idea that everything Is
going wrong, and to be thanking his
stars that he was born at the proper
time to set it right. Some time ago, he
introduced resolution in council pro-
viding for an ordinance for city scales.
The people were being cheated IN
weight, etc. He adduced an instance
6f the kind. which stirred the coal deal
ers to address him the following letter:
RICHMOND, IND, Sept. 10. 1887.
DAVID GEYER, Esq.-The statement
made by you in your official capacity as
q member of the common, council OF
this city, at q meeting thereof lately
held, that there had come to your no
tice an instance where q citizen had
bargained for and purchased and paid
tor two tons of coal, which upon being
weighed upon other scales than those of
the dealer disclosed shortage of at
least twenty five per cent. in weight, be
not other specified, is calculated to
greatly injure those dealers who take
care to give accurate weights. The fact
that you named no dealer imposes on
each the imputation and stigma of un-
fair dealing. We, the undersigned,
therefore ask you In justice TO ourselves
to relieve ourselves of the imputation
that your association makes. and in
justice to the public that they may
know the name OF the dishonest dealer.
that you name the time and particulars
OF the transaction and the names of the
parties. We do not believe that your
statement was so carelessly and heed
lessly made that you can refuse our re-
quest. OF course if such transaction
never occurred and your statement was
made thoughtlessly and without due
consideration or specific information,
your statement and our request for
specifications are of no importance and
needs no further notice.
Expecting to hear from you, we are,
respectfully,

Silent Pavements Around Biz Basidings.
The roar of trucks in the narrow streets
down town, upon which most of the
great office buildings are located, is SO
loud as to drown ordinary conversation
when the windows are open in every
office fronting on a street, even IN the
upper stories To remedy this a smooth
asphalt pavement was this week COM
pleted around one of the largest office
buildings on Nassau street. The expert
ment is said to be very successful, the
street roar being scarcely noticeable any
where in the building, although 1t rises
lust as usual from all the pavements near
except from the small strip in front and
on each side of the building. One ex-
PLANTATION of this is that the most of the
sound that filed the Office was conducted
up the walls of the building from their
direct contact with the pavement. The
new pavement produces no noise to be
conducted up the walls, and the noise
from the ordinary pavement few feet
AWAY reaches the Offices only through the
air, which is a poor conductor. 1t Is
probable that the same experiment will
be tried about other large office buildings.
Similar pavements have been successfully
used for sofne tine to keep the street
noise from one of the city hospitals
