LOndOn--Her Streets and Other Public Con-


VenlenCes.
London Cor OF the indianapolis News.
London is 30 large and its municipal
administration so complicated that only
the barest outline can be given in short
letter. There is no room for detailed
statistics, which, by the way, are very
difficult to obtain. Between the years
1856 and 1889 the domestic housekeeping
of the city was under the control of the
Metropolitan Board Of Works. In the
latter year this was abolished for the
reason (given to me) that there was too
much and too extensive work to be
looked after by one board. This will be
apparent when it is known that there are
over 5000 miles Of streets. The modern
sewer system built by that board cost
$325OO,OOO.
Domestic affairs were then turned over
to the London County Council, and by
various parliamentary acts and ussges
their supervision has been subdivided
until at this time the city of London is
divided into twenty eight municipal bor-
ougbs, or parishes, each parish being
governed by vestry, making an annual
report to the London City Council.
Each Of these boroughs, or parishes, is a
separate municipal organization, collect
ing taxes, opening streets, paving and
cleaning them, taking care of garbage,
looking after the health of the people
and the sanitary condition of all the
houses and public places in the parish.
When ii is remembered that the entire
area OF the city is 10 square miles, it
will be observed that each vestry has
only about four square miles Of territory
TO look after, and many Of the parishes
are, in fact, very much smaller.
The favorite paving material here, as
in Paris, is wooden block. All of the
best streets are either paved with wooden
blocks or asphalt. The following facts

public officials or out of official reports

On the lips that he has prest

And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many a year
On the tomb.

Poor old lady, she is dead,

Mr.. Hayemeyer,s New Home.

| MI nHV6m0y6Fs NEW HOnl6s
A New York telegram announces that
another millionaire home is about to be
prepared. Henry O. Havemeyer, the
great sugar redner and multi-millionaire
is an ardent admirer of Venice and it's
surroundings, He has made many visits
to this beautiful city, but rich as he is
he cannot keep travelling to and fro con.
stantly to satisfy the one great desire Of
his life. So he will build Venice in
America On the day following one of
his recent trips be bought some property
on Long Island, hired a landscape gar
dener and an architect, and started in to
develop his plan. The site consists of
100 acres on Great South Bay, south of
Islip, Long Island, which the rich inhab.
itants call Bayberry Point. There is a
variety of the landscape, low hills, fine
trees, and couple of brooks which ira
verse it lengthwise through fertile and
tractable loan. The bay is land-locked
and the waters placid in the yachting
season, 1t is an ideal spot for Venice.
All that is needed is money to develop it,
Mr.. Havemeyer has laid out a scheme
which involves the expenditure of vast
sum-just how much, he confesses, he
does not know, He began with $780,,
600, which he expended in clearing the
site and paving the way for the opera
tions of the landscape gardener and the
architect. 1t will take $1,500,OOO to
complete the canals and get the property
into condition for building.
Mr.. Havemeyer is now about to begin
the conversion of the property into Gle.
CANT parks and flower gardens, honey
combed with waterways running in every
direction. BY the beginning of 1898 the
thirty-fve building plots will be crowned
with stately villas, owned by Mr.. Have
meyer and his millionaire friends. The
canals will be spanned by bridges, and
gondoliers will ply their craft between
the lawns. Over the largest canal there
will be "bridge of sighs" In the bay
outside, during the yachting season of
1898, some of the costly pleasure craft Of
the country will lie, and Mr.. Havemey-
er's new Venice will be headquarters for
the swell set in it's summer outings.
"Mr. Hsvemeyer will be the means of
revolutionizing the use Of the long shore
'front.'" said one of his close business
friends, who knows the details of the
Venetian scheme. "He has already
made the contracts for beautifying the
whole of this immense tract, and has the
plans drawn for sumptuous villa, which
he will occupy himself.
abroad avenues through the property
are to be laid out and built at once, and,
to make them more attractive, grass
borders are to be formed and private
hedges planted, which will make
the once wild meadow land look
like veritable Garden of Eden. Sub
stsntial piers will be built here and there
along the shore front, and artistic
bridges will span the canals, which will
afford splendid harbor for pleasure

Where Old Iron Goes.

ana WRLer pipe, Rlrders, pArLs OF nre
escapes, pillars, bits Of machinery, and
fragments of every size and description
might have been seen last week lying
near the sidewalk Of Market Street, Rd-
joining the ruins Of the big fire at Thir-
teenth Street. The passing crowds who
gRzed at it and the other debris in the
ruins probably knew that this metal
would be sold to junk dealers for next to
nothing, but few Of them realized the
methods Of sorting, cutting and manipu-
lation it went through to place it upon
the market again, nor did they suspect
that year from now they might be
using this very metal again in their fam
lily flat irons, in their stoves, bicycles,
tools or wagon wheels.
One dealer has constantly on hand
from 10000 to $4,000 tons Of old iron, be-
sides brass, copper, zinc, rags, bones,
and junk of all kinds, valued roughly at
Sl25,0O0. His agents travel all over the
country and purchase at auctions or
Sheriff's sales the machinery and debris
around mills and factories. He will not
refuse wheelbarrow-load Of bones or
iron collected by some enterprisiug boy.
Indeed, nothing is too large or small to
come into his drag g-nets.
The part of the waste metal business
which makes it profitable is the skill in
knowing where each class Of material
will find it's best market, and sorting the
whole into a great variety Of grades for
such sales.
Iron and steel "scrsp," as the waste is
called, is divided into the cast and
wrought classes, and each grade of these
metals is sorted and stored into a long
line Of bins, which form a curious sight.
The cast iron scrap is used to mix with
"pig," or pure bar iron from the blast
furnaces, in making combinations of
metal for foundries If articles were
made of "pig" iron alone they would be
too brittle to be Of much use CONNER
cially. The proportions and grades Of
scrap which are loaded into foundry
Cupolas with the "pig" iron depends,
however, upon the degree of strength
which the manufactured article requires.
The lower grade Of cast iron scrap is
"burned iron," such as the cylinders Of
worn-out furnaces and stoves. It is of
little value commercially, as the fire to
which it has been exposed burns many
Of it's useful properties out Of it, Next
in an ascending scale comes "stove
plate" generally consisting Of the brittle
iron from old stoves, broken into small
pieces. Then there is ''heavy cast" or
machinery" iron, the highest grade Of
cast scrap composed of heavy sections
Of iron pipe and parts of large machines.
The wrought iron scrap is remRnufac- |
tured by the process known as "pud-
ding" This class consists of iron
hoops, odd bits of machinery, some kinds
Of pipe, masses of wire, in fact, every |
sort of old iron that has been forged, |
and is therefore useless for melting over
into fluid state. The pudding" con-
,ists Of putting bundles Of the iron into
a furnace and heating it until it is soft
and pliable; then this is run through

There are something over 100 miles 0
wood pavement in London, some laid b.
contract, as in Paris, by the parish
About seyen-eighths of the wood is creo
soted, some by dipping" more BY
forcing the creosote into the blocks by
pressure. White pine was formerly
used, but yellow pine creosoted is now
the most used, although Australian
"jarrah" and "karri," both very hard
woods, are now being laid on some
streets Of exceptionally heavy traffic
These woods are not being creosoted
All pavements are laid on Portland
cement concrete; instead of broken
stone, gravel is mostly used in making
concrete. The cost for foundation and
blocks complete is from $2. AS to So per
square yard--One year guarantee if done
by contractor. 1t costs about 5 per cent.
per square yard per annum to maintain
them.
The average life OF blocks on heavy
traffic streets is about ten years. A
wooden pavement on a light traffic street
Was shown me that had been down sew
enteen years, with the remark, "Blocks
dipped in creosote;" but the street was
not in good condition. King William
Street, leading to London Bridge, with
22,OO0 vehicles passing over it each
twenty-four hours, is paved with wood,
but l was told it had to be replaced every
seven years.
Asphalt is more popular here than in
Paris, especially on narrow streets and
in sections Of the city where there is a
good deal of filth and dirt There are
about one-third as many yards Of asphalt
as of wood, so / was informed. 1t costs
upward Of So per square yard, with only
eighteen months guarantee, after which
it costs from p to % cents per square yard
per annum for maintenance 1t will thus
be seen that the taxpayers in Indianapolis
pay less both for wood and asphalt pave
ments than the taxpayers Of London,
and | carefully watched the layers of
each kind, and outside of the Portland
cement used instead of concrete here, |
observed but little difference in the way
they are laid.
The cleaning is not so we'll done here
as in Paris, but is done in much the same
way, that is, with orderlies taking up the
droppings during the day, and ordinary
street sweepers sweeping at night. At
present the streets are not washed here
at night For while it was tried, but
the cost Of the water made the cost Of
cleaning excessive. An effort is now in
progress to have system of pipes put
in to convey salt water about the city
for cleaning and sewer flushing, and the
only thing that prevents it's adoption is
the sanction Of Parliament. Stone pave
ments are not laid now, and as rapidly
as those now in use are worn out they
are replaced with wood or asphalt.
There are many miles Of macadam in
London, but as no practical way has
been found to clean them and still retain
their fine surface, they are rather rough.
They are cleaned with the ordinary
sweeping machines, which removes the
fine material, leaving the coarse stones
sticking up, making a rough surface.
