RATHER TEST IS
NOT INFALL|BLE
JOHN c. mCABE.
Unwise To Rely Wholly on It, In
vestigating Committee Is Told
Testing Laboratory Suggested.

Boiler Inspector John G. McCabe
who was chosen by the mayor &c
make tests OF the paving brick re
ceiyed by the city, told the Board d
Commerce brick investigating com
mittee, Monday afternoon, that It Is
unwise TO rely wholly on the RATHER
test as q guide In the purchase OF
brick. The rattler, he says, serves
principally to determine the hardness
or brick rather than It's toughness
and the latter quality is the more de-
sirable, he said. He cited the case
OF the alley adjoining the Edison
plant, on Willis-ave.,. which has al.
ready been mentioned In The Times,
to illustrate his point. The brick
here are badly worn as a result OF
the heavy traffic in and out OF the
plant. while the asphalt approach to
the alley Is In good condition. Yet,
the brick showed only 10 per cent
abrasion In the rattler, the lowest
percentage recorded In any of the
tests.
Mr.. McCabe thought II would be
worth the city's while to establish a
brick testing laboratory, where the
brick could be subjected to compress
sion and other tests in addition to the
RATHER test.
In answer to a question, Mr.. Nc.
Cabe declared unhesitatingly that ere
osote block Is better paving material
for heavy traffic streets than brick
because Of its elasticity.
Most Of the afternoon was taken NJ
with the Quizzing of Supts. nondeau

have charge OF the paving operations

toned at length as to repair work, In

that brick should not be used or

tions should be replaced with new
ones II brick is to be used, or else re
surfaced with asphalt or creosote

Oil and excelsior scattered broad

the origin of the fire which damaged
the grocery store of Mrs. Philip
Geraci, 1000 Brooklyn avenue, late
Thursday night. Quick work on the
part of the fire department restricted
the blaze greatly. as the place had
been carefully set for destruction.
Damage of about $500 was done. The
place is owned and occupied by Mrs
Geraci, and she had several negro
tenants in the rear, whose furnishings
were badly damaged. The police are
investigating the case.
