STREET FLUSHING

Eminent Engineer SO Contends i'll

or Block Excrts Great Lift
ing Power.

In view of the proposition now pend
ing before the Council to purchase or
lease street flushers for use in Keeping
the paved streets of the city clean, it
may be pertinent to note that Mr.. j.
w. Howard, consulting engineer on
pavements for the city of New York.
has written for the Engineering News
an article which appeared in its issue
OF April 18th, condemning the use OF
such flushers. Tho writer asserts that
they tend to destroy smoothly paved
streets. and he makes strong presen-
tation of his contention, according to
other engineers.
What He Says.
The article in the Engineering News
to which reference is had is herewith
printed, by reason of It's Thickness and
for what 1t may be worth as a contri-
button to the street cleaning agitation:
when examining pavements of diff
ferent kinds in different cities during
the, past ten years l have noted many
of them seriously injured and some de-
stroyed by flushing with water forced
down upon them or diagonally across
them, sometimes direct from MIGRANTS.
from attached hose and from flushing
wagons, from which water issues under
compressed air. The injury and de-
struction is done not only by erosion
on the surface Of several kinds of pave
ments. but also by means of the water
penetrating through joints aud small
openings, and thus getting under the
pavement as n whole, or under the
blocks of streets paved with bricks or
stone blocks. An illustration of tho
powerful effect of water thus pene-
trating is as follows:
Take an average paving brick, 8N3X4
inches deep. 1t has twenty-four square
inches on its under side. If water at
sixty pounds per square inch penctrates
below the brick, q theoretical hydraulic
lifting pressure is developed of twenty
four times sixty, which is lao pounds.
under the brick. Allowing for escap-
ing water and loss of pressure. so that
only one-quarter of this is effective
pressure. we have $50 pounds under
brick weighing only nine pounds, as
this Is the average weight of paving
bricks of blocI size. The brick is re-
tained In place only by cement mortar
or grout around 1t. There are many
pavements without this cement. and
even If present, it is not perfect at all
