was wen down out of the usual haunt

The ceiling and side walls Of this old

there is . space OF several inches between
the lath of the sidewalks and the weather

THE NOISE OF BRICK PAYMENTS
People Soon Got Used to liam IN
tervfew With City Engineer Haven.
Special to Tho jersey Cftu Ncses.

TRENTON, Sept. s fS964Wfth the ex-
tension OF vitrified brick pavemeats come
complaints in some quarters that these
pavements are extremely noisy. To deny
such complaints to those who have made
them IS an fmpossibility, but the same ef-
feet as an admission of the denial dawns
on those ~complainers In the course of
time, when they have become used to
the p~aven1ents. It IS an admitted fact
that the brick pavement is more noisy
than asphaIturn, of which the city has no
pavement, but less noisy than granite
blocks. of which there are man miles.
The noise chiefly complained Of Is a
rumhling sound, which oftentines resem-
bles, with an approaching wagon che
coming Of thunder Then the sharp click
of the horses's shoes on the hard bricks
makes a clatter which is oftentines very
shocking to nerves which sigh for coun-
try lanes and creek-bed roads.
The complaints of the Trentonians are
similar to complaints made in Newark
In the matter. but experience has shown
IN both cities hat the complaints are
more numerous Just after a pavement Is
laid. and thai they grow less and less as
the people become accustomed to the new
oun 1T takes property owners along
a Drlck pavement about q year to get in
such a condition that they do moi mind
the nose.
Al Newark, according to a letter from
Chief Engineer Adams 10 City Engineer
Raven, in some correspondence on he
subject. the noise on n-ewly-paved Streets
made such a nuisance that many mer-
chants vacated their stores and residents
moved from the streets.
CITY Engineer Haven said to a reporter
Observation-Disclosures Adams wrote me
as to a theory he had of preventing the
noise. His plan was to use sand instead
or cement as a filler. I replied that while
sand would undoubtedly deaden the noise.
yet II should not be used. A sand filler
would permit q chipping OF the edges OF
the bricks The strength OF the brick
pavement depends Oh preventing the
chfppiEs OF the brick, and for this the
pest prevention Is cement.
AS to the cause Of the noise, it Is due
TO the settling Of the earth beneath the
pavement. The concrete on which the
Drfeks are laid shrfnks together with the
eafth, wsfich contracts from lack OF 1aofs-
tufe. Then there IS a settlement of the
eafsH Where sewers have been put in. IN.
s9fn6 places the pavement forms a conn
pete arch over the street with a large
air space between. There is practically
no danger of the arch falling, as ii IS
very ssrong. The Greenwood avenue pave
meHt, on which the noise is very po1ice-
ante at SoIne points, has stood all right
and 1t only has four inches of Concrete
inches.'s

ssThe Merry WorId'' az the Academy

The amusement season was opened at

There was a large audience; the play was
bright and well played. and it was new

The piece is not absolutely new. 1t

new business for the present season. It

When this fact is taken into considera-
Iion. the excellence of the presentation
seems remarkable. Hardly any of the

The music was all well rehearsed, and it
went with great dash and vfgor. 1t is
tuneful and e~nlivenfng, and the singers

the Sans Gene and saTrilby'' sections is
as funny as any burlesque that has ever
been put on the stage. and the people
