SWAMP HAY PAvEMENTS.

Its Durability Is About to BE Tested by
the City Of Baltimore.
Permission has been granted by the
mayor of Baltimore to lay a sample Of
new pavement, made OF swamp hay
in order to test its durability and to
ascertain whether It should be allowed
to compete with asphalt and other paw
ing material.
The material Of which the paving
blocks are made is swamp grass, which,
grows luxuriantly in the salt marshes
along the Atlantic coast. It grows very
compactly and in many places to a
height Of six or eight feet. It is cnt
at any time Of the year except when
growing.
Laborers go into the marshes with
large, fiat bouts and cut the hay, which
falls into the boat as it is poled slowly
through the water. The material q
then put into bundles and cut up into
the proper length by q machine SINH
lar to the ordinary hay cutter, with
which the boat il provided. It is after
ward subjected to moderate pressure
and made into blocks by machine at
tached to the cutter, about 8 inchea
thick by 16 long and 20 wide. These
are then fastened in the shape stated
by wires, very much in the manner az
hay is put up. Before the blocks are
shipped from the factory to their des-
tination they are treated with q prep
aration of dead oil,:.' and they are then
ready to lay upon the street
The cost Of putting down the pave
ment complete, including the prepsra-
ton of the concrete foundation, IL given
at from s1.4o to $1.7o Per, square yard.
The cost will vary somewhat from rur-
rounding conditions, the freight on the
blocks, cost Of labor and cost of crushed
stone and other material for the founda-
ton.
