Permission has been granted by the
Mayor of Baltimore to lay a sample
of a new pavement, made of swamp
hay, in order to test its durability.
The material is swamp grass, which
grows luxuriantly in the salt marshes
along the Atlantic coast. 1t grows
very compactly in many places to a
height of six or eight feet. Laborers
60 into the marshes with large, fat
boats and cut the hay, which falls into
the boat as it is poled along through
the water. The material is then put
into bundles and cut into the proper
length by machine similar to the
ordinary hay-cutter. It is afterwards
subjected to a moderate pressure and
made into blocks about six inches
thick by sixteen long and twenty
wide. These are then fastened by
wires very much in the same manner
that hay isput up. Before the blocks
are shipped from the factory they are
treated with preparation Of "deda
oil, and they are then ready to lay
upon the streets. The cost of put
ting down this pavement complete,
including the preparations of the con-
crete foundations, is given at from
$1.4O to ITO per square yard. II
