Crusade Against Water Pollution.

The crusade against the pollution of
water supplies and navigable waters,
which has attained to such tremendous
proportions in different parts of the
country had its inception in its present
form in the efforts of Edward Hatch, Jr.,
to prevent the pulp mills on the New
York shore of Lake Champlain from pol
luting the waters of this beautiful in
and sea.
The Importance of this work is shown
in leading editorial to the New York
Times which shows that the movement
has spread even faster outside New York
State than within it, yet the project had
tremendous obstacles. 1t is hardly too
much to say that the promoters received
least encouragement precisely where the
water was flthiest and the need great
est. The immense population in the
metropolitan district, for example, makes
1t unavoidable that the waters leaving
its shores should be filthier than those
lacking such unlimited sources OF con-
tamination. Yet after years of agitation
there was more resentment than ap-
proval of the effort to check this threat
to the health of millions. Every legal
obstacle possible was presented by able
counsel.
1t is also worthy of note that within a
few weeks Paterson, after opposing fol
twelve years the proposal to send it,

Manlato's Good Road.

Mankato, Mimi, has solved the
problem of finding durable pave
ment at small expense and one that
can be used on steep grades as read
lily as on a level surface.
First, the driveway was narrowed
to thirty feet. curbed, guttered and
boulevarded Then it was excavated to
the depth of six inches and surfaced.
Five inches of dry crushed limestone
one and half to two inches in di-
ameter was put on and rolled down
with ten-ton roller Boiling tar
from the local gas works was applied
until the entire surface was covered.
Then a layer of broken stone an inch
to an inch and quarter in diameter,
mixed with coarse gravel, was applied
on the surface in the proportion of
three parts of stone to one of gravel.
This was first mixed dry on a plat
form and then thoroughly mixed
with hot tar and applied on the sur
face two inches thick and tamped
into place to conform with the sur
face of the street.
Dry domestic cement was then ap-
piled to the surface and the street
was again rolled. Then coating of
sand was applied, and the roller
again used. The pavement was al
lowed to stand for two weeks before
the street was thrown open to travel.
The cost was eighty cents a lineal
foot to the property owners on each
side of the street, or rather would
have been had the entire cost been
assessed against them. The street
has practically waterproof pave
ment six inches thick, and it is i'm
possible for the elements to attack
the surface. The pavement has now
stood two winters and shows not the
slightest wear. 1t gives off no dust
in summer. although it is not
sprinkled.-Cement Age.
