ANOTHER CEMENT TEST.
The Other Ones Held to Be Altogether
Satisfactory.

Another test of the strength of cement
as used for building material will proba-
bly, have to be made by the city engineer
and the fire marshal. This is necessary
because under existing standards the
crushing strength of the cement locks
can not be compared with the crushing
strength of stone and brick.
In order to be able to compare cement
blocks with stone or brick small cube
must be used, constructed according to
certain specified dimensions. The pressure
necessary to crush this cube must then
be ascertained. after which this pressure
can be compared directly with standard
tests which have been made for stone,
brick and other kinds of building mater
ial.
So far the fire marshal has not made
the fire test of the cement blocks. 1t is
necessary to find some sort of an oven
which will give the necessary heat under
the proper conditions and this has not yet
been done.
