It was also voted to recom- mend to the common council that if anything be done as regards the auto Sprinklers, the city purchase the cars rather than make any contracts for their use on the local streets.
 Petitions.
 It was decided to table a petition for a light on Connecticut avenue. A Fearing was ordered on a petition for a sidewalk and curb on, and the 1nacadamizing of, that section of Whiting street between John and Stanley streeets. Similar action was taken on petition for tho sprinkling Burritt street.
 John H. Harrison was given leave to withdraw his petition for pern:s- sion to place gasoline tank at 23l East Main street, under the sidewalk about a foot from the building. The board deemed the location unsuitable. A petition for a change in the di- lection of the storm water drain pipe
 
 lison streets was considered. The pc t.tioner, r. s. Griswold asked that the pipes be moved about twenty feet either to the east Or west. as, at the present time. the pipe runs directly through the center of lot upon which a house is soon to be erected. Tho petition was referred to the city en- gireer.

sprinl>ling done less frequently. Engineer Richards went into an eX- haustive explanation to explain to the 1 board that the fact that speed of the auto-sprinkler would not cause any increased pressure and subsequent de- terioration in the condition of the streets
 Is Not an Experiment. What you have is really an eXper iment yet, isn't it?'' asked Mir. Hum phrey.
 No, sir," answered MT. Richards, the concern that makes the tanks for our machines have been making sprinklers for long time and under stand the work thoroughly" II don't mean the body on the chassis explained the chairman, ''but I refer to the vehicle itself. When have you tried it to ascertain that it does not injure the pavement?" In explanation MT. Richards said that it was the policy of his concern to give any new product a trial of eighteen months before putting out many of them. One bad installation. he said, would do more to spoil sales and business than would anything else.
 
 which makes the tanks would not be putting them out if they distributed the water in such a manner as to in jure the roadway. He went on to tell that he could produce sufficient data to show that tracks, with thirty five feet spreads could take care of the needs of this city.
 The trucks are particularly useful in distributing oil on the streets, accord ing to the engineers statements. The spreads arc equipped with drip pans which can be lowered to catch all the drppings when the sprinkler passes over crosswalks.
 Prices S3,100 and S4,15O.
 The price of each truck, with bat tery, but without pump, would be $3,- 100, said Engineer Richards. The type of machine carrying a pump would cost $4, ,150. Freightage would amount to about 8 hundred dollars.
 The company's representatives pro- duced diagrams and photographs to make clear their explanations. Af- ter they had left the hearing, Mr. Humphrey read letters from author ities in New Haven and Bridgeport, regarding the machines. However, at the time of the writing, they knew practically nothing about the sprink- lcrs.
 Will Watch Lynn's Tests.
 It was the general opinion of the meeting that nothing should be done urtil a committee could have an op- ! portunity to see one of the trucks in action. MT. Moore was inclnod to think that a committee should be ap- pointed to go out to Pontiac and see how the machines worked. The other members felt that this would involve too great an expense and thought that the best plan would be to wait until Lynn tried out the trucks and see how the people there liked them. 1nasmuch as something would have to be done for the sprinkling of the

The board of public works, at a meeting held last evening, decided to postpone action on the matter of pur- chasing automobile sprinklers, and R. Walker company for the sprinkling of the streets this year. The board members were not entirely satisfied with the explanation of the machines which was given by representativ of the General Motors company of Pontiac, Mich., and will wait until they see in action two trucks pur- chased by the city of Lynn, Mass, before they do anything definite in the matter

Work of Trucks Explained.

Engineer Richards, a representative of the General Motors company, of Pontiac, Mich, which is behind the Sperry & Farrell company, explained that, on a thirty-fve foot street, there are two ways of doing the sprinkling work; by the pressure system and the rotary pump system. Recently his company sold Lynn two trucks, the officials there planning to use the pressure system. Tanks of 800. 1,200, and 1,400 gallons capacity require only 1-2 minutes for filling on a pres sure of 40 pounds per hydrant. ~On one filling a truck will sprinkle one mile.
New Britain herald., 1915-04-10
Docs Not Injure Roadway.

The method does not cause any deterioration of roadway inasmuch as the water is first thrown into the air and reaches the roadway only after a gravity drop of @ few feet at running time of about 6,007 miles an hour, the too trucks which this city is considering buying would cover the sixty two miles required here dai- ly in about five hours. The water can be taken from tanks or creeks, etc.
