Move tests were made str, fly in
accordance with our practice of
keeping the standard charge of the
shot as close as practicable to the
300 pounds of the specification
weight.
The charge as used in above tests
was made up of slightly worn and a
small percentage of new shot, -
~ ge shot weighing 75.40 pounds to-
tal and 3O7 small shot weighing
1858 pounds, or total of 29193
pounds, about per cent variation
from the specification weight of 300
pounds.
1t has never been our practice to
use a complete new charge of shot
with any brick test. nor to take ad-
vantage of the specification permits,
sion to run tne weight down through
usage to TO per cent less than the
300 pounds called for originally, Gut
to keep the toal charge Gf shot as
close to the 800 pounds required by
the specifications without abnormally
increasing the total number of shot.
This is done by renewing the worn
shot from time to time by tie suisti-
I'm of
shot which does not result in
the abuse of the bricks unneces-
sarly as would be the case in a
complete charge of new shot as con
templated by the specifications orig
inally. mr. does it result in giving
unlue advantage to any lot of brick
by using a charge of SHOT on them
that has been reduced 10 per cent
in its weight through thorough round
ing of corners and edges of the sh t,

Resolution by Alderman Cox:
p Whereas, At the last regular meet
ing of mayor and council held on July
80 after a resolution had been duly
passed Fly said body assembled, re-
calling test on certain shipment of
Southern Clay Mfg. Co paving brick,
which was shipped on or about July
81 or 2S, by our city engineer 20
Henry S. Spackman Engineering Co,
Philadelphia, Pa, and also that ship
ped by him to the Georgia Schc oil of
9th ultimo. it appearing that said
shipments were irre2ularly made. and
then and lnere further directing the
city engineer to make another snip
ment of brick to Ne taken fro m the
street where they lay, and such as
has been inspected and accepted in
the work by him, in lieu of the recall
ed ones: whereupOn the mayer made
the statement from the chair while
presiding. that he (the mayor, was
going to have the recalled brick rest
ed himself. AS he did not know
what somebody might write the par
ties making the test in regard to
these brick. and had no means Of
finding out
. Now. while it is incompatfl lie TO be
lieVe that any city official would
stC0p to such questionable meth DIS
as the mayor impuens some member
or members of this body capable Of
nclpctuating, nor neither can we
conceive how any disinterested reprlt-
able engineering cCncern could or
would countenancc conduct of any Of
fetal of such an undprhaud CdaraC-
