Reinforced Concrete Tests.

| The increasing use of reinforced con-
crete as building material has led to
numerous Investigations of its strength
when variously prepared and when sub
jected to various conditions. Perhaps
the most elaborate series of tests is that
now being carried on by the United
States Geological Survey, which has
recently published bulletin 344) a pre-
liminary report on the subject. A full
report, with thorough analysis of the
results, will be published after the 81
week tests are completed.
The attempt has been made to bring
out the comparative value of gravel,
granite, limestone and cinders for use
in concrete, and the effect of age and
consistency on the strength and on the
stiffness.
No attempt has been made in this
preliminary report, however, to gener-
alize the results of the tests, or to draw
any conclusions, however warranted
they may appear from an examination
of the test data. 1t is hoped that the
matter presented will provoke discus
sion, and in order to promote this end
extended expressions of opinion or at
tempted applications of theory to results
have been avoided. A running COM
mentary on the results of the tests,
however, emphasizing matters of par
tIcular interest and indicating a few
points that might lead to interesting
analyses, is included.
The bulletin, which is by Richard L.
Humphrey, may be had free of charge

TURNED
DOWN
COUNCIL COMMITTEE RE-
FUSES TO RECOMMEND THE
PASSAGE OF HIS DESIRED
SUBWAY FRANCHIE.

Fifteen business men left the
city council chamber last evening
disguised with the attempts Of
Chairman Rankin of the fran
chise committee to block any
movement by the city looking to-
ward giving encouragement to the
building of the Imperial building
and subway projected by Promo
ter Gillies.
A number of citizens assembled
to urge the council to grant a
franchise for the subway but
whe1ever they attempted to speak
in favor of 1t they were interrupt
ed and called down by Rankin,
who appeared to be determined to
prevent any action.
Gillies asked for a franchise al
lowing him one year to begin
work and five years to complete
the Job. He showed letters from
New York capitalists of the high
est standing stating that as soon
as the franchise was granted they
would get to work and finance the
proposition and put it through.
o. G. Barlow of the CONNER
cial club said the project was be-
fore the club but that they had
felt it was not a project for small
investors but for big monied men
and that while the club did not
know as to its practicability it de-
sired every encouragement given
the natter
Rankin, however, resisted any
attempt to recommend the fran
chise.
1T can't do any hurt and why
not grant 1t and let these people
try to do something for. Tacoma,
said Hogberg who was enthusiasts
tic for 1t.
Rankin, however, was reinforc.
ed by Turnbull and Jameson and
the whole matter was finally re-
ferred to the city attorney to gel
up a new ordinance.

DISEASED CATTLE
NOT ACCEPTED BY
cARSTENS CO.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
SEATTLE, March Enlarged
by deputy state food inspectors
with having butchered two dis
eased cattle at Ellensburg, the
Carstens Packing company of this
city, through E. A. Morck, mana
ger, declares that an injustice has
been done it by the action of the
state agents. Mr.. Morck says
that the diseased cattle, which
were seized at Ellensburg and de-
stroyed on March 5, were never in
the hands Of the Carstens Packing
company, not having been accept
ed from the firm from which they
were purchased.
"There is no question:" says
Mr.. Morck, "that the animals
seized at Ellensburg by Inspectors
Hanson and Adams were afflicted
with lumpy jaw, but this fact was
unknown to our agents, and the
cattle when seized had not yet
passed into our hands. We had
purchased them but they had not
been received by our firm."
